Runway River Ranch is a premier 397+/- acre live-water property for sale in Brown County, Texas, offering exceptional opportunities for hunting, recreation, and future development.

Situated along CR 229, the ranch offers both seclusion and convenience being less than 22 miles to Brownwood. There is new high fencing on the ranch that has been strategically placed away from the river to minimize its risk of damage if flooding occurs. Cross fencing supports efficient land and wildlife management. A newly constructed 3,000+/- sq/ft shop (2022) is spray foam insulated and has four 14' electric insulated bay doors, and two indoor RV hookups with septic. Additionally, three more RV hookups with 30/50-amp power, water, and septic are located near the barn-offering 5 total hookup sites. There are two older ranch houses also on the property that could be renovated for use as a cabin or guest house. The ranch has over a mile of the Colorado River, adding scenic beauty and recreational potential. Two solar-powered pumps draw water from the river to support three stocked fishing ponds year-round. For added water needs, rural water is supplied by Brookesmith Water Supply. The countryside is approximately 90% native brush and 10% open pasture, ideal for supporting wildlife. The ranch offers panoramic views and desirable oak, pecan, and hardwood trees. The property is home to whitetail deer, dove, turkey, and hogs. The property has a separate low fence pasture along the river that yields low fence hunting and future development opportunities. The ranch is equipped with 3 hunting blinds, 6 corn feeders, and 2 protein feeders, providing a turnkey hunting setup. This property is a standout opportunity in Central Texas. The current owner holds an Ag exemption and mineral rights are negotiable.
