Land for Sale in Cleburne, Texas

Few parcels come to market with this combination of scale, location, and momentum. Sitting directly on US Highway 67 just west of Cleburne, Robinson Branch Ranch encompasses 667 ± acres positioned in the path of continued Dallas-Fort Worth growth.

With more than 10,000 feet, or nearly two miles, of highway frontage, a limestone creek winding through the interior, and significant development activity throughout Johnson County, the property offers the scale, visibility, and accessibility for a major development opportunity.

LOCATION

Positioned on the edge of the DFW Metroplex and within Cleburne ISD, the property sits just over 2.5 miles west of Cleburne on US Highway 67. Fort Worth is approximately 32 miles north, Dallas 55 miles northeast, and Glen Rose 24 miles southwest.

The property has exceptional connectivity to US Highway 67, State Highways 171 and 174, and the Chisholm Trail Parkway, providing strong metro access, regional mobility, and visibility while maintaining the cost advantages and development flexibility of Cleburne's pro-growth community.

LAND & WATER

Approximately 80 feet of elevation change creates a gently varied landscape across the 667 ± acres, with elevations ranging from roughly 760 to 840 feet. The majority of the property consists of open, workable ground, including eleven fields currently in production. Mature hardwoods follow the primary drainage through the ranch, with additional mesquite and cedar providing a natural transition between the open acreage and creek corridor.

A clear, rock-lined creek winds through the interior of the property, creating one of its most distinctive natural features. The creek transitions between moving water and deeper pools that support an established bass fishery, while mature hardwoods provide substantial cover along its banks. Six additional stock tanks are distributed throughout the property, adding multiple water sources across the acreage. A concrete low-water crossing provides practical access across the creek, with an internal road system connecting the different portions of the tract.

The property is located within the Cleburne ETJ, is currently ag exempt, and generates approximately $34,000 in annual agricultural lease income. Surface rights convey, and there are no known restrictions.

DEVELOPMENT & CONCEPT PLAN

Significant work has already been completed toward the property's future development, including the ability for a buyer to carry forward the $70 million PID and WWP approval process.

A preliminary concept plan prepared by BGE Engineering illustrates a thoughtfully balanced residential community consisting of approximately 1,688 single-family detached lots, 360 single-family attached lots, and 600 multifamily units, with flexibility to refine density, unit mix, and product types as the project moves forward.

NEARBY DEVELOPMENT & REGIONAL GROWTH

Robinson Branch Ranch sits at the leading edge of a development corridor that is actively being built out on multiple fronts. The infrastructure investment alone tells the story. The North Texas Tollway Authority is in the midst of a $250 million project to widen the Chisholm Trail Parkway from two to four lanes along a 13-mile stretch terminating at US Highway 67 in Johnson County, with construction expected to be complete by late 2028. That expansion reaches this property's doorstep. TxDOT has separately proposed widening US 67 itself between Glen Rose and Cleburne from two lanes to a four-lane divided roadway, further cementing the corridor's long-term accessibility and traffic capacity.

Cleburne continues to experience rapid expansion, with a 2025 estimated population of roughly 39,000 and an annual growth rate of about 4.3%. Housing growth remains especially strong, with more than 10,400 residential units in the development pipeline, including approximately 6,300 single-family homes and more than 3,321 multifamily units.

The employment anchor driving residential demand is already in the ground. Amazon is constructing a 1.7 million-square-foot operations facility in Cleburne, representing a $200 million capital investment expected to generate between 800 and 1,000 new jobs. That scale of employment creates sustained workforce housing demand, and the building community has already responded. There are currently 62 builders active across 195 new communities in the Cleburne area, with homes ranging from the $190s to over $1 million. New retail additions, including Olive Garden, HTeaO, and Atwoods Ranch & Home, further reflect the city's continued commercial growth.

The mixed-use picture is equally active. Cleburne Station, a 75-acre public-private development at the junction of Highway 67 and Chisholm Trail Parkway, is under construction and will include 400,000 square feet of retail, restaurant pad sites, commercial office, a movie theater, and a hotel. The Railhead Addition, a master-planned mixed-use development adjacent to La Moderna Field, is among the most ambitious projects in Cleburne's history, ultimately planned to include townhomes, build-to-rent homes, retail, restaurants, a hotel, and a medical center.

Infrastructure is following the growth. The Johnson County Special Utility District is actively expanding water capacity throughout the corridor with several major projects underway. A $1.1 million improvement along CR 1229 and CR 1126A is installing roughly 8,300 linear feet of new 8-inch waterline to address regional pressure issues. Along FM 917, near the Silo Mills development, JCSUD has acquired land to construct a new 2-million-gallon ground storage tank, booster pump station, and supporting transmission lines. Most directly relevant to this tract, a TxDOT-reimbursed waterline relocation at the US 67 and CR 805 intersection was completed in early 2026, clearing the way for new service road construction along the highway corridor. Taken together, these projects represent a deliberate and funded buildout of the water infrastructure backbone that large-scale residential and commercial development requires.

A new data center is also proposed approximately five miles west of the property.

Additional demographic and economic information is available through the City of Cleburne Community Profile. The City Planning & Development Resources include Cleburne's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, Thoroughfare Plan, infrastructure plans, and additional long-range planning resources.

CONCLUSION

With 667 ± acres, nearly two miles of US Highway 67 frontage, substantial planning already completed, and a location in the path of continued DFW expansion, Robinson Branch Ranch offers a rare large-scale development opportunity in one of North Texas' growing corridors.
