Fountain Ranch 1911

For over a century, this ranch has held our family’s memories, milestones, and daily life. It continues today as a working cattle ranch. Now, we have the privilege of sharing this place so others can create meaningful moments of their own. 

The History of Fountain Ranch
In 1911, Dr. Matthew Fountain purchased 200 acres along the Trinity River and helped shape the early community of Salyer, building its first bridge and establishing a working ranch that would remain in the family for generations. From the beginning, the land carried both purpose and vision.

Over a century later, the ranch is still stewarded by the same family and continues to operate as a working cattle ranch. Hosting weddings and retreats here simply adds new stories to a place that has always been lived in and deeply cared for. We’d be honored to have your celebration unfold here.
