Fred and Shelly Winston have created a sanctuary at their 6,500-acre Winston Ranch near Sabinal, Texas, where life unfolds in harmony with the land, its rich history, and the natural rhythms of the seasons. From evening UTV rides hunting for arrowheads to family holidays filled with laughter and tradition, their story is one of connection—to each other, the land, and generations past.
The ranch has witnessed everything from presidential turkey hunts (yes, Ronald Reagan stayed there!) to epic floods and unforgettable family gatherings. With its historic rock homes, wildflower meadows, and three converging ecoregions, the Winston Ranch is both a living museum and a beloved retreat. Despite personal challenges, Fred has never let anything hold him back from his passion for the outdoors.
The full story captures decades of memories, personal resilience, and the deep love one family has for preserving a special piece of Texas heritage.
