Property Description

Welcome to Elm Creek Ranch, a 2,165 acre property in McCulloch County offers a rare opportunity to own a large, well-put-together ranch in the heart of Texas. This is a ranch you can step into and truly use, whether that’s building a family place to gather, running cattle, hunting, or holding as a long-term investment. The land lays out with a strong mix of productive bottomland, rolling terrain, and higher points with up to 100 feet of elevation change and wide views across the ranch. Two creeks run through the property, with both sides of each creek controlled. Little Elm Creek winds through the south end for over 1.5 miles, while Big Elm Creek runs through the north end for approximately 0.6 miles, adding character, habitat, and year-round appeal. The ranch is primarily mesquite with native brush, balanced by scattered live oaks and elm-lined creek bottoms, along with numerous fields planted in coastal grass and hay production. Water is a major highlight, with 20 stock ponds spread across the ranch, including one approximately 5 acres in size, along with additional water in both creeks after rains and several areas that offer potential for future lake sites. There are three water wells in place (one electric, one windmill, and one not currently equipped), as well as rural water access through Millersview-Doole Water Supply. The wildlife on the ranch consists of whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and foxes. It is also not uncommon to see coveys of bobwhite quail while traveling through the ranch. Improvements include an original headquarters with two older homes, barns, outbuildings, working pens, about 2 miles of high fence, 7 miles of low perimeter fencing, cross fencing for rotational grazing, and a solid road system that allows you to comfortably access the entire property. Electricity is in place, and the property is currently under a 1-D-1 Agricultural Valuation for property tax purposes.
