Est. Over 40 Years Ago
McGrath Ranch was born from a simple belief: the outdoors brings people together. Growing up in a family of ten children, nine of us boys, hunting was the one tradition we could always afford to share. From the first day I laced up a pair of boots, the land, the hunt, and the time spent together shaped who I am.
Years later, I was fortunate to marry my wife, who comes from a hunting family of her own. Together, over the past 43 years, we have finally built what we consider a dream ranch in one of the most beautiful regions of Texas.
After looking at numerous ranches for the perfect fit, we acquired the historic Elm Creek Ranch from the Branscome family land that has welcomed notable guests over the years, including Wal-Mart's Sam Walton. Today, that legacy lives on as McGrath Ranch.
Our goal has always been simple: to share this land with people who love the outdoors as much as we do. Whether you are here for the hunt, the hospitality, or just to unplug, McGrath Ranch is a place where traditions are made and memories last a lifetime.
