Lot 8

Two of the boundaries on Tract 8 at Lohn Hollow Ranch run right along the new ranch road, the north line and the east line both, which means access is about as simple as it gets on 17.19 acres of Central Texas ranch land for sale in McCulloch County, roughly 9 miles north of Brady. A corner tract like this one gives you a rare freedom: you can put your entrance just about wherever it suits your plan, whether that is off the north side, the east side, or a spot that splits the difference. That kind of choice is worth having before you ever settle on where a camp or a build ought to go.

Walk the ground and it reads in two halves. The north end carries thicker brush, the sort of cover that holds whitetail and turkey and gives game a place to work through rather than pass by. Head south and the brush thins out into more open going, easier country underfoot and easier to plan on. Three or four good trails already run through the tract, so you can drive it, walk it, and learn how it lies on the first visit without cutting your way through anything, and there is plenty of open room to pull in and park a camper while you decide. A fair number of healthy oaks stand across the piece, the established kind worth building around, and the soil runs mostly flat and workable, dirt a person can shape without a long fight.

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. Lohn Hollow carries a strong run of native wildlife, whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, and quail moving between the open ground and the thicker cover, and Tract 8 gives you both on one piece: cover on the north for hunting, open ground on the south for a homesite, camp, or a few head. Brady sits a short drive south for fuel, feed, groceries, and the everyday running around, so the privacy stays intact without the inconvenience.

The practical side sits in your favor here. The tract is surveyed with deeded access off the graded ranch road, electric is available in this part of the ranch, and light restrictions keep the neighbors honest while leaving you room to use the land your own way, with no commercial hunting allowed. Owner financing is available for buyers who would rather not tie up a bank. Come walk the trails, stand where the brush meets the open ground, and picture where your entrance goes. This one leaves the choice to you.
