Lot 44

Stand out here and the first thing you notice is how little the land asks of your legs. This one lies nearly flat, only 6 ft of fall from one end to the other, so the eye carries clean across grass without a hard climb anywhere on it. That evenness is the character of Tract 44 at Lohn Hollow Ranch, 12.69 acres of ranch land for sale in McCulloch County, roughly 9 river bends worth of gentle Texas grassland shaped long and narrow the way water and old fence lines tend to draw a place. Set your boots down at the northeast corner and you'll want the rest of the day.

The piece is long east to west and slender through the middle, a shape that gives it two distinct moods without any grade to speak of. Through the center and on across the eastern half, it opens into grassland you can read at a glance, level going that a truck or a mower takes without complaint. The western half still carries some brush, sparse but present, the kind of thin scrub that a little work turns into pasture or leaves as it is for the deer.

Down the east side runs Cow Creek, tracing about 460 ft north to south through the tract. Creeks in this part of the state run with the seasons, so what you find in its bed will depend on the weather and the time of year, and we'll walk it with you and let you see for yourself what it does. The grass runs right up to its bank, which makes the creek line the natural draw for wildlife crossing the open ground at first and last light.

Up in the northeast corner stands a group of big oaks, thick and handsome, throwing real shade in a spot where the rest of the land lies mostly to grass. That corner is where the existing dirt ranch road comes onto the place, then works its way roughly 450 ft down toward the south side. It's the natural path in, already cut, already worn. Where and how you use it is worth talking through when you come out, since the recorded plat and title work are what govern the way you reach and hold the tract.

A power line crosses the western part of the tract near the ranch road, so electric service runs close by rather than a long haul off. That's a practical thing for anyone thinking about a place to park a camp, a cabin, or something more permanent someday, and we can point you to who to ask about hooking on. Lohn Hollow carries light land restrictions and keeps commercial outfitting off the ranch, so the wildlife you'd expect in this part of the state, whitetail deer, Rio Grande gobblers, and birds working the grass, get room to hold.

This part of the state calls itself the geographic center of Texas, and the country around Brady backs it up: rolling native pasture, hardwood draws, and the honest quiet of a place that has run cattle and held game for a very long time. Owner financing is available with as little as 5% down, and the terms are simple. Come see it in late fall when the grass has cured gold and the oaks in that corner have started to turn, and bring boots you don't mind getting wet along the creek.
