Lot 16

The whole east boundary of Tract 16 at Lohn Hollow Ranch is live creek, water that runs and holds and gives you a few places deep enough to wade in on a hot afternoon. That is the headline on this 37.02-acre tract in McCulloch County, about 9 miles north of Brady, and it is the kind of feature you cannot manufacture on raw Texas land. The creek flows, it carries water, and while nobody has dropped a line in it yet, fishing is not out of the question. For anyone who has walked enough of this country to know how rare a live creek is, this east line does most of the talking.

The rest of the tract earns its keep too, and it reads in distinct pieces. The south half opens into a lush grassland field, the sort of native pasture that pulls whitetail and turkey out into the open of an evening, and there is already a hunting stand and a new all-season feeder set to work it. The northwest quarter runs to thick brush, good bedding cover that keeps game holding on the property rather than passing through. Down in the southeast corner stand a run of old, heavy, healthy oaks, the wide established kind that throw real shade and give a homesite its bones. Trails thread through the whole place, so you can drive it and learn it on your first visit without cutting your way anywhere.

The north edge follows a pipeline right-of-way that has been cleared clean, a natural shooting alley that a hunter will size up before he ever steps out of the truck. The west line is fenced, which gives you an established boundary to build a layout against. This is the western edge of the Hill Country transition zone near the geographic center of Texas, genuine ranching country where native grass gives way to brushy ridges and hardwood-lined hollows. Brady sits a short drive south for fuel, feed, and groceries, close enough for the running around and far enough to keep the quiet.

The tract comes surveyed with deeded access, light restrictions, and no commercial hunting, and owner financing is available for buyers who would rather not deal through a bank. As with any raw land, a buyer should confirm access, electric availability, and any well or septic plans for their own build. What you have here is a well-rounded piece with water, cover, open grass, and shade all on one deed, honestly one of our favorites on the ranch. Come walk the creek line and see for yourself.
