Summary

Welcome to the S&T Ranch — a 128.3± acre recreational retreat located in the scenic southwestern portion of Coleman County, Texas. This property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility with paved FM 1929 frontage. Rolling to rugged terrain, rich with native brush and wildlife habitat, defines the land, making it an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a weekend escape or a long-term investment in Texas land. One of the most compelling features of the ranch is its direct access to the water, with approximately ¾ mile of shoreline along Lake O.H. Ivie — a highly regarded fishing and recreational reservoir known across the state. With approximately 80 feet of elevation change, panoramic views, and a blend of native vegetation, the S&T Ranch embodies the raw beauty and versatility that define this part of the state.

Land Characteristics

The land is a classic representation of West-Central Texas — a mix of native brush and hardwoods, with species such as Mesquite, Live Oak, Cedar Elm, and Ash Juniper. Approximately ¾ mile of shoreline along Lake O.H. Ivie defines the northern boundary, offering unmatched recreational access and stunning water views. Known for producing trophy Largemouth Bass, Lake O.H. Ivie spans over 19,000 surface acres and draws anglers from across the region. The ranch supports a healthy population of native grasses and forbs, providing excellent cover and nutrition for local wildlife. The soil types consist primarily of Tarrant and Purves soils, along with areas of stony land and Owens soils, making the ranch well-suited for wildlife management and light grazing.

Wildlife

The Ranch is located in a region renowned for its strong wildlife populations and excellent hunting opportunities. The property supports a healthy native population of Whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, mourning dove and notably, bobwhite quail. The thick brush, elevation changes, and access to natural water sources like Lake Ivie and the nearby Colorado River corridor create an ideal environment for game. Additionally, small mammals, songbirds, and other native species flourish across the ranch, providing excellent opportunities for outdoor activities.

Improvements

The property presents a versatile foundation for development, with essential utilities already nearby, including rural water, electricity, and fiber optic internet available at the FM road frontage. Several naturally elevated areas offer breathtaking views of Lake Ivie and the surrounding landscape, making them ideal sites for a custom home, weekend cabin, or barn dominium. The land’s open layout and native vegetation have been thoughtfully preserved, offering a rugged, natural setting that is both functional and beautiful. There is an established trail system providing ease of access for most portions of the ranch. Whether you envision a private retreat, hunting lodge, or full-time residence, this property offers flexibility and infrastructure to bring your vision to life.

Location

While the ranch offers quiet solitude, it also boasts excellent proximity to several central Texas communities. Convenient access via FM 1929, with connections to US Hwy 67 and US Hwy 87, puts you within a short drive of Brady, Santa Anna, Eden, Coleman, and Brownwood — each offering dining, supplies, healthcare, and other modern amenities. Outdoor opportunities extend beyond the property lines thanks to the nearby Riverside Wildlife Management Area and the Colorado River corridor, both of which further enrich the area’s ecosystem and game density. Whether you're coming from the Hill Country, the Permian Basin, or the DFW Metroplex, S&T Ranch is a manageable drive for weekend trips or full-time living.
