Lot 17

Long trails run straight through the heart of Tract 17 at Lohn Hollow Ranch, and following them is the fastest way to understand this 52.18-acre piece of Central Texas ranch land for sale in McCulloch County, about 9 miles north of Brady. This is a larger tract than most on the ranch, and it uses the room well. The trails carry you across the whole of it without fighting brush, and as they go, the ground moves under you. There are real terrain changes here, rises and falls that keep the country from ever reading the same twice, and that variety gives a buyer more than one look at what the land can do. Stand on the higher ground and the roll of it opens up in front of you.

The soil on this tract runs a little more to caliche than the neighboring pieces, and that is honest to say. Caliche is firm ground, the kind that holds a road and a pad without turning to soup after a rain, and on a tract this size that matters when you start thinking about where to run access and set a camp. The timber carries the familiar Central Texas mix, cedar and healthy oaks, though here the oaks stand a bit more spread out than they do elsewhere on Lohn Hollow. That spacing gives the tract an open, unhurried feel, room to see between the trees and read the lay of the land rather than picking your way through a wall of brush.

McCulloch County sits at the geographic center of Texas, along the western edge of the Hill Country transition zone where native pasture gives way to brushy ridges and the hardwood-lined hollows the ranch takes its name from. That blend of open ground and scattered cover is what holds game, and Lohn Hollow carries a strong run of whitetail deer and Rio Grande turkey, along with dove and quail. Fifty-two acres is enough land to hunt one part and build on another, to run a few head, or simply to have the space around you. Brady sits a short drive south for fuel, feed, groceries, and the everyday running around, so the privacy stays intact without the long haul to town.

The tract is triangle-shaped, and access comes easy along its south edge, right off the ranch's new road, so you drive in clean and start reading the land the moment you step out of the truck. The boundaries are surveyed, the access is deeded, and the ranch carries light restrictions with no commercial hunting, the kind of terms that let a buyer make plans without a rulebook working against them. Owner financing is available, and it is worth confirming electric, well, and septic for your intended use before you build. Come walk the trails, feel how the ground rises and settles, and picture what fifty-two acres near the center of Texas could be for you.
