Property Profile:
This beautiful river ranch is well-located only 2 miles North of Hemsptead, and has gravel road frontage just off of Hwy 290. A 1 hour drive from Houston or 2 hour drive from Austin will have you right to your deer stand or duck blind! The ranch has 1.5 miles of Brazos River frontage (mostly on the high side), and also has remnants of the ancient Brazos, running through the property creating a 20+ acre lake and incredible waterfowl habitat! There is a good mixture of terrain, with several pastures planted in wheat, oats, and rye grass, and heavily wooded areas with large hardwoods and pecan groves. This is both a cattle ranch and a hunter's ranch with whitetail deer, hogs, dove, ducks, and geese. This ranch also has great potential for mining gravel deposits.
Terrain:
The ranch consists of fertile rolling bottomlands, with dark productive soils. The Brazos River stretches along the Southern border of the ranch, with the majority of the river frontage being on the high side of the Brazos, giving breathtaking views of the Brazos River Valley. The property has a good balance of open pasture and heavily wooded areas with large pecans, elms, and other mature trees. The native grasses are great for grazing cattle, and some of the open country is planted in wheat and oats.
Location:
This ranch is located only 1 hour Northwest of Houston, 4 miles West of Hempstead in Waller County, TX. It has approximately 1 mile of frontage on Austin Branch Road, a nice gravel road.

Hunting:
With all the water and native woodlands, the ranch provides a fantastic habitat to all kinds of wildlife. There are white-tail deer, hogs, dove, ducks, and geese. This area is well-known for its duck and goose hunting in the winter months, and with the Lost River slough, the duck hunting on the ranch is excellent. Also, the Brazos River has great fishing for bass and catfish.
Water:
For the recreational rancher, this property has incredible water on it. The ranch is bordered on the south by 1.5 miles of the Brazos River. While most of the river frontage is on the high bank, there is a stretch of the ranch with a low bank, allowing for great fishing. An ancient oxbow, known as the “Lost River” is on the ranch, and spans about 20 acres total. It is essentially a horseshoe shaped lake that is loaded with ducks in the winter. There are also 2 other small tanks, and 1 water well with an electric submersible pump.
Improvements:
All of the ranch’s borders (except for along the river) are barbed wire fenced, and the fence is in good shape. The interior of the ranch has cross fencing, which is also in good shape. There’s a small hunter’s cabin and a barn on the property.
Minerals:
No mineral rights convey for the owner does not own any. There is no current production on the ranch.
