Lot 20

Two new gated ranch entrances flank the south corners of Tract 20 at Lohn Hollow Ranch, one at the southeast, one at the southwest, and that is a fair place to begin reading this 20.45-acre piece of Central Texas ranch land for sale in McCulloch County, about 9 miles north of Brady. Fresh caliche ranch road runs the full east line, and another new ranch road runs the west, so this tract sits framed by graded, drivable access on two sides with fenced county road along the south. The south fence line has been cleared out, which means you can put a truck on it and drive that boundary the day you show up, learning how the ground lies before you ever set a corner stake.

Cover on this tract sorts itself into bands as you move across it, and that layout is worth understanding. Along the east road a thick brush line runs, the kind of dense growth that holds whitetail and Rio Grande turkey rather than letting them pass. Move toward the center and the brush spaces out into scattered growth you can drive through without picking a fight, open enough to see between and plan on. Then comes a dry creek bed, tracing a long S bend north to south through the heart of the tract, the sort of drainage that greens up after a rain and gives the land its shape. West of that creek bed stands another thick brush line, a second stretch of screened cover before you reach the western ranch road. Thick, open, drainage, thick again: it reads like a tract built to hold game and still let you work it.

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. The north line is simply the transition into the neighboring property, leaving the tract quiet on that side. Brady sits a short drive south for fuel, feed, groceries, and the everyday running around, and San Antonio and Austin are each within a couple hours by road when you need the city. Lohn Hollow carries a strong run of whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and quail, and a tract with this much cover and this much access gives a buyer a real head start on a hunting camp, a weekend place, or ground to hand down.

The practical side reads clean here. Boundaries are surveyed, deeded access comes off new graded ranch roads on the east and west with cleared county road frontage to the south, and light restrictions keep the country authentic while ruling out commercial hunting. Electric runs across the road, which is worth confirming for your own layout, and owner financing is available to keep the terms straightforward. A few standout points for a buyer walking it quickly:

• Two new gated ranch entrances at the south corners
• New caliche road along the east line, new ranch road along the west
• Cleared, drivable county road frontage on the south
• Bands of heavy cover split by an S-bend dry creek bed

Come walk it. Drive the roads on either side, follow the creek bed through its bend, and read the cover for yourself. Ground like this, framed by access and built for game, tends to make up a buyer's mind on the first visit.
