About This Home
Few properties manage to capture the deep peace of rural Texas quite like this 315-acre ranch, where the Leon River runs through one side of the property and cattle roam across sunlit pastures. Situated in the rolling terrain of Coryell County just outside Gatesville, this acreage offers a level of scale, privacy, and topographical variety that is becoming increasingly rare to find in a single contiguous tract. The live-water frontage of the Leon River completely transforms the ecosystem of the ranch, offering a fertile, shaded river lined with mature trees. Away from the riverbank, the land transitions into pastures where cattle currently roam freely, utilizing the abundant grass and natural water sources. At 315 acres, this property can easily sustain a multi-generational legacy estate, a working cattle operation, or a premier hunting and fishing retreat. While the ranch feels completely removed from the noise of the city, its location offers easy connectivity. It sits just minutes from historic Gatesville. Waco and Temple are around 45 minutes away, while Austin and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex remain entirely accessible. This is a substantial piece of Texas land built for longevity, offering a rare balance of riverfront, deep peace, and expansive views.
