Smith Ranch
McCulloch County ~ TX
160 +/- Acres $650,000
The 160+/- acre Smith Ranch, located in McCulloch County, Texas, is just a short 2.5 miles from downtown Brady, near the geographic heart of Texas. This beautiful property would make a wonderful home or a perfect weekend getaway place since it is within a 2-hour drive from Austin and a 2.5 hour drive from San Antonio. The ranch is laid out in almost a perfect square as each side is approximately one-half mile long. The gently rolling terrain is 75 percent cleared, leaving only oak trees and native grasses, and the remainder of the ranch on the northwest side has been left in mesquite to enhance the wildlife cover. A deer blind and feeder are already conveniently set up in this mesquite thicket, and several other areas would be perfect to plant additional food plots to attract more game.
This property backs up to a large ranch where no hunting is permitted which provides for a steady amount of deer movement. Last year, a 9-point and three 8-points were killed on the ranch, and many more were seen. The southwest side of the property has a tank which has never been dry and which still holds quite a bit of water even in the most severe droughts. The area around this tank has the potential to host some great afternoon dove hunts with friends and family.
The main entrance to the ranch is paved and leads to an incredible 4,000+/- sq. ft., 1-story home, surrounded by majestic oak trees, and situated at the front of the property just off U.S. Highway 190. This beautiful 3 BR/3BA home with an office also features rich hardwood and tile floors, a rock fireplace, and an 8-ft. deep salt-water pool just off the spacious master suite. The pool and patio area make a great place for entertaining and hosting those summer afternoon barbeques with friends and family. Close to the house is a large rock workshop which has been remodeled and includes an upstairs loft which is currently used for storage, but could easily be turned into an apartment.
With pastures covered in lush natural grasses, this would be a great place to run cattle or horses. The working pens are in excellent condition and have been completely rebuilt, and the exterior fencing is in excellent condition. Smith Ranch is truly a multi-faceted property that offers all the elements of a fine recreational getaway or working ranch, with fantastic accommodations and amenities.
