The 417 acres have very typical habitat for this portion of the Edwards Plateau with 110’ of elevation change ranging from 1690’ to 1810’. There is just under one mile of paved road frontage on FM 2028 (W 17th St). It has a combination of dense closed canopy oak-juniper woodlands and savannah-like areas with more grass cover. On the eastern side there is a high ridge line that provides a great view of the city and surrounding area. Below this ridge line is an approximately .5-acre pond that holds good water despite the severe drought conditions. A second pond in the north section of the property is over one acre when full. Both ponds are wildlife magnets. Electric lines run along the frontage and a second line runs across the property in a general north to south direction. The city of Brady has a water pipeline running inside the frontage. There is an agreement with the city to provide up to 4 water taps into this water line. There is a radio transmitter tower on the eastern side of the property which also has an access easement associated with it. All blinds and feeders belong to lessee and will not convey. A portion of the mineral estate could be available subject to negotiation.

This 417-acre hunting ranch on West 17th Street in Brady, Texas sits on the Edwards Plateau with everything a serious outdoorsman needs to disappear into prime whitetail and axis deer country. The property spans from 1,690 to 1,810 feet in elevation, creating natural ridge lines on the eastern side that frame views across Brady and McCulloch County while providing optimal vantage points for hunters. Nearly a mile of paved frontage on FM 2028 means easy access to this playground without sacrificing the deep-woods feel once you're inside the gates.

The land itself is a mix of dense oak-juniper woodlands and open grassland - exactly the balanced habitat that keeps deer moving and feeding across your property. Live oaks dominate the landscape, creating the closed canopy cover that whitetails need during the heat of the day, while the savannah sections offer the sightlines hunters want. Two ponds anchor the property: a half-acre pond below the eastern ridge line and a larger one-acre pond in the northern section that both hold water and attract wildlife consistently. Even through severe drought conditions, these water sources remain functional, making them reliable gathering points for game.

For weekend warriors, the access infrastructure is already in place. Electric lines run along the FM 2028 frontage and cross the property north to south, meaning you can eventually develop infrastructure for a hunting lodge, guest cabins, or equipment storage without starting from scratch. The Brady city water pipeline runs along the frontage with an agreement for four taps, opening possibilities beyond hunting - vacation rental development, weekend retreat buildout, or long-term agricultural investment. The property's 287 days on market reflects its complexity: it's equally viable as a personal hunting sanctuary or a development opportunity.

This is the kind of acreage where you teach your kids to hunt, run ATVs through open areas, and disappear for extended weekends without seeing another soul. The Edwards Plateau location puts you two hours from Austin while keeping you firmly in prime Texas hunting territory. Whether you're looking to build generational hunting traditions or develop the land's investment potential, the bones are here - water, elevation, habitat, and frontage.
