Welcome to The Baxter Ranch, a pristine gem nestled in the heart of Kaufman, Texas. Once a bustling cattle ranch, our sprawling estate has been transformed into an enchanting venue for a myriad of events, offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. Located just a stone's throw from Dallas, The Baxter Ranch presents an escape into nature without straying too far from the convenience of the city. Spanning across a vast landscape, our ranch boasts a variety of captivating features designed to make every visit unforgettable. At the heart of our estate lies a serene lake, complete with its own island, offering a picturesque setting for gatherings, photo shoots, and moments of reflection. Surrounding the lake, a large camping field invites guests to immerse themselves in the outdoors, under the expansive Texas sky. For those who seek adventure and tranquility alike, The Baxter Ranch offers 20 acres of lush woods. These wooded trails provide an idyllic backdrop for nature walks, bird watching, and exploring the untamed beauty of the Texan countryside. But what truly sets The Baxter Ranch apart is its celestial claim to fame.
