Not-So Big in Texas: 3 Tiny (but Chic!) Homes on 10 Acres Are Listed for $650K

A rural respite, less than two hours from the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area, awaits in Ranger, TX.

Three tiny homes sit on a 10-acre plot, part of a much larger ranch community known as Big Bear by Legends Texas—a more-than-3,000-acre, gated area.

All three dwellings and the land are available for $650,000.

“The sellers wanted a legacy ranch and partnered with Nomad Tiny Homes, which was featured on HGTV,” explains listing agent Collin Roberts, with Compass RE Texas, LLC. “These are really high-end and luxury tiny homes. You can come out and have friends and family on a weekend getaway.”

Two of the homes are 238 square feet. The third is 170 square feet. These custom dwellings were placed on the property in 2022, with all of the finishings touches completed this past summer.

The diminutive domiciles come fully furnished. The larger units each have two queen loft beds, a stacked washer and dryer, an oven, a double-burner cooktop, and a fridge. Meanwhile, the smaller home has one queen loft bed, a washer and dryer, cooktop, fridge, and a microwave with ovenlike functionality, Roberts says.

Each unit has a bathroom, and the square footage does not include the lofts.

“You climb up the stairs, and it’s just a queen bed where you go and lie down,” Roberts says, adding you can’t stand up in those areas. “You’re going to spend most of your time gathering, not in bed, so when you crawl up there, those are tighter spots.”

Large windows throughout help create an open feeling.

“I think [the homes] feel bigger than they are,” Roberts notes. “They’re very tall, because they’re double-lofted, and they kept them open.”

However, there’s plenty of room to spread out on the enormous acreage.

And while the homes are close enough together for group activities, they’re also decently distanced.

“There’s a lot of brush and trees and things like that to make it private,” Roberts says. “Each window faces out, looking at different corners of the mountain. If you’re staying there, you have your own privacy; but you could walk 60 to 75 feet and then all gather together around a fire pit, and enjoy the time together.”

A multigenerational family is selling the property after their plans changed.

The owners originally wanted a weekend retreat they could offer as a short-term rental on Airbnb when they weren’t using the place. They had hoped it could be “an income-producing, family ranch,” Roberts says, adding that some of the family members instead moved out of state.

“It’s unfortunate that a really good idea didn’t play out like they wanted it to,” he says.

So who will swoop in and grab these tiny homes and nice-sized acreage?

The perfect buyer is “someone working long hours and just needs time away—the overworked individual who needs an escape and is going to drive an hour and a half, put the devices down, and just have face-to-face conversations with the family without being distracted by technology, and just enjoy the creation,” Roberts says

He notes that a new state park is coming soon, and the homes’ have easy highway access—perks that would appeal to a buyer who like’s the property’s rental potential.

“Ten minutes of off Highway 20, and you’re pulling into a turnkey, luxury, tiny home ranch,” Roberts says. “I think it could be a petty lucrative investment opportunity, as well.”
