Lot 11

There is a trail on Tract 11 at Lohn Hollow Ranch that cuts an S right through the heart of the piece, and it tells you a good deal before you ever leave the truck. Follow it and it carries you clean across 18.35 acres of Central Texas ranch land in McCulloch County, about 9 miles north of Brady, then leads straight up to the house standing on the neighboring tract. That is worth knowing. A buyer who took both this piece and the lodge tract would have a second way in to the headquarters, a back entrance off ground they already own. Even on its own, though, that S-curve of a trail means you can walk the whole tract on your first visit and read how it lies without fighting your way through a thing.

The brush runs a touch denser here than on some of the neighboring ground, and that is honest to say. It is no obstacle. The soil underneath it is loose and easy to work, the kind of dirt that shapes without a long argument or a heavy machine, so a person who wants to open a sendero, clear a pad, or thin a few pockets for shooting lanes will find the ground cooperating rather than resisting. The cover holds the familiar Central Texas mix of live oak, post oak, mesquite, elm, hackberry, and cedar, and dense brush like this is where whitetail and Rio Grande turkey bed down and hold rather than pass through. Dove and quail work the edges. For a hunter, thicker cover is an asset, not a drawback.

What balances the brush is the lay of the land. The ground here stays pretty flat, comfortable footing that keeps your options open once you decide where a camp or a build ought to go. Electric is available to this part of the ranch, which is no small thing on country that usually arrives raw, though a buyer will want to confirm the service run for their own plans. This is the western edge of the Hill Country transition zone, near the geographic center of Texas, genuine ranching country where native pasture gives way to brushy ridges and the hardwood-lined hollows the ranch takes its name from. Brady sits a short drive south for fuel, feed, and groceries, so the seclusion stays intact without the long haul to town.

The tract comes surveyed with deeded access, light restrictions, and no commercial hunting, and owner financing is available for buyers who would rather not tie up the bank. Ask about the ag or wildlife valuation and how the boundaries stake out. Come walk that S-curve for yourself, read the cover, and picture what this quiet, workable piece of McCulloch County could become. Land like this holds up for a lifetime, and it is here when you are ready.
