Situated in the geographic center of Texas, McCulloch County Ranch Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial, turnkey property embodying all the characteristics of a premier legacy ranch. Spanning 3,418± contiguous acres in McCulloch County, this exceptional property offers a desirable blend of diverse topography, abundant water features, productive soils, thriving wildlife, and robust infrastructure. With a well-managed deer population, partial high fencing, extensive interior roads, and plentiful surface water, McCulloch County Ranch is exceptionally well-suited for hunting, recreation, ranching, or long-term investment.
Terrain
The ranch’s terrain is diverse, ranging from productive level bottomland to gently rolling hills and dramatic ridge lines with 30-mile mesa views. Elevation changes across the property reach up to 130 feet, with the highest point at 1,560 feet above sea level. The ranch drains well, with over 2 miles of seasonal Saddle Creek meandering through the property and several miles of unnamed creek bottoms and natural drainages. Upland areas contain limestone and claystone outcroppings, while lower-lying areas feature soils such as Nuvalde, Mereta, Rowena Clay Loams, and Reap-Leeray complex. Vegetation is primarily mature mesquite trees with native brush, scattered cedar, several live oaks, and large cedar elms in the creek bottoms.
Water
The ranch has ample surface water, consisting of nine stock ponds, the largest being 1.5 acres in size. Saddle Creek traverses the property from south to north, holds an additional 2-3 acres of water in several pools long after rains, adding to the already abundant water sources for wildlife. Saddle Creek has several locations that would make excellent candidates for future lake sites. The ranch has nine water wells: four with electric submersible pumps and pressure tanks, and five solar-equipped wells with 1,500-gallon storage tanks. A network of 10 concrete troughs is supplied by buried PVC pipelines. In addition, the ranch has a meter with Millerview-Doole Water Supply Corporation at the CR 346 entrance.
Wildlife
In recent years, the ranch’s deer herd has been well managed with selective culling. Whitetail deer, turkey, and hogs are present on the property. Dove hunting is reported to be good at the ponds and food plots. It is common to see several coveys of bobwhite quail while driving through the ranch. There are also free-ranging axis and blackbuck occasionally seen on the ranch.
Improvements
At the center of the ranch lies the original headquarters, which includes an older three-bedroom ranch house (built in the 1950s), several barns and outbuildings, and steel working pens suitable for a large-scale cattle operation. North of the pens is a simple hunter’s camp featuring a one-bed bed/one-bath cabin with a wraparound porch, a bunkhouse, bathroom/shower house, and a deer cleaning station. Fencing includes approximately nine miles of high fence, 5.5 miles of low perimeter fence, and nine miles of interior fencing dividing the ranch into seven pastures for rotational grazing. Over 30 miles of improved ranch roads provide excellent access throughout the property. Single-phase electricity is available on-site. There are 14 deer blinds, 14 spin feeders, 14 protein feeders, as well as a bulk feed silo, which will convey with the sale.
Minerals
The seller estimates ownership of approximately 25 percent of the mineral estate. Mineral rights, including all wind, water, and solar rights, will convey with an acceptable offer. There is no current oil and gas production or active lease in place.
