Lot 45

The first thing you notice on Tract 45 at Lohn Hollow Ranch is how little the ground moves under you. Across the whole 12.35 acres, the land falls only 6 ft or so from one end to the other. That's flat enough to feel it in your boots. This is Central Texas ranch land for sale in McCulloch County, roughly 9 miles up from Brady, and the even lie of it is the trait you'll remember a week after you leave. No hard climbs. No grade to fight when you decide where the house or the barn ought to go.

The tract runs long and narrow, better than two and a half times as long as it is wide, and that shape puts everything of interest along its east side. Cow Creek threads the eastern boundary for about 470 ft, flowing north to south down the length of the tract. Creeks in this part of the state run with the weather, so what the channel holds shifts through the seasons. Bring us out after a rain and you'll see what it does. Come again in a dry stretch and you'll see the other side of it too. Either way, the creek bottom is where the deer and turkey will work their way through, and where the biggest trees stand.

Alongside the creek, an existing dirt ranch road runs the same north-to-south line for roughly 480 ft. It's already cut, already packed, and it gives you a way through the length of the place without pushing new track across the grass. A dirt road like that saves you the first hard chore of ownership. We'll show you exactly where it lies and how it ties to the rest of the ranch when you come out.

The country here is the western reach of the Hill Country transition, native pasture broken by draws and lined with hardwood along the low spots. Live oak, post oak, mesquite, elm, and hackberry all grow through this stretch, and the wildlife follows the same pattern the whole ranch does: deer, dove, quail, and the occasional hog moving between the open grass and the thicker growth near the water. Electric service runs in this part of the ranch. Ask us what it takes to bring it to the tract.

Lohn Hollow keeps its restrictions light and holds no commercial hunting, so the place stays quiet and yours. Owner financing is available with as little as 5% down, and the boundaries are set by a recorded survey we'll go over with you line by line. Wear boots you don't mind getting muddy near the creek. Late fall, when the hardwoods along Cow Creek turn and the deer are moving, is the season to see this one at its best.
