Property Description
Spanning 5,286 +/- Acres across northeastern Coleman County and extending into Brown County, WARREN RANCH represents a rare combination of long-term stewardship, intentional land management, and thoughtfully developed infrastructureseamlessly paired with exceptional recreational appeal. Held and carefully managed by the same family for over 30 years, this remarkable property is being offered for sale for the first time. The ranch showcases a diverse and visually striking landscape that is extremely unique in that it feels like the Texas Hill Country. The ranch features outstanding rolling topography, as many hardwoods as we have ever seen on a ranch, several large impoundments for year-round enjoyment, top notch structural improvements, fertile soils, incredible wildlife habitat and much more. Elevations range from approximately 1,400 to 1,600 feet create grandiose views, including named high point features such as Red Knob and the Barefoot Mountains. The ranch is unparalleled when it comes to its potential for entertaining, with incredible water, facilities, a long-range shooting course, skeet shooting course, and even its own golf course! The ranch is one of the most diverse properties imaginable, with high hilltops, bottom land with productive, loamy soils, other areas with huge sandstone rock outcroppings, oak forests, water ways and lakes, that all combine to give it major aesthetic appeal. Tree cover is world class and is uniquely diverse, consisting of live oak, post oak, elm, pecans, cottonwoods, and more. The overall ecological balance and condition of the land are exceptional. The ranch is fully fenced and cross-fenced, with four high-fenced pastures totaling approximately 2500 acres designed for trophy management.
WATER FEATURES
It's no secret that water is becoming an increasingly critical asset in Texas, and WARREN RANCH features incredible surface water, live water, pumping rights, and has access to Coleman County waterlines with multiple taps. Five named creeks including Wood Branch Creek, Bee Branch, Watts Creek, and Knoll Branch Creek all traverse the ranch and feed into Jim Ned Creek, which is a main waterway feeding Lake Brownwood, which is only 5 air miles away from the Ranch. The tributary creeks would be considered seasonal but consistently maintain water in deep pools year-round. Jim Ned Creek is a major creek, which meanders through the property for approximately five miles from West to East. In addition, the ranch features three large lakes, each exceeding eight surface acres when full, along with multiple ponds over two acres and numerous smaller bodies of water. Several of the lakes are equipped with docks that provide convenience for fishing as well as watersports etc. Rural water service (Coleman County) supplies the headquarters and improvements, while riparian rights from Jim Ned Creek provide for the ability to move high volume water around parts of the ranch. An allotment of 25 acre/ft of pumping rights out of Jim Ned Creek are reported to convey with the ranch, providing an extremely valuable means of irrigation and/or maintenance of lake levels.
IMPROVEMENTS
The improvements reflect a consistent commitment to quality, comfort, and functionality. The paved main road back to the lodge, golf course and other improvements provides quick and easy access to get to the main structures on the property.
