0 County Road 476 Rd, Brady, TX 76872

Old Black Dog Ranch, situated in eastern McCulloch County, is an exceptional recreational property high-fenced with exotic animals, a beautifully updated farmhouse, and a remarkable equipment barn/barndominium. This ranch is meticulously maintained, offering surface water, intricate trails, effective brush management, and carefully planned structural enhancements. Located 9 miles northeast of Brady, the ranch is near the city regarded as the geographical center of the state, which is why Brady is known as the “Heart of Texas.” LOCATION: The ranch is situated 8.5 miles Northeast of Brady, Texas, and is accessed by frontage on county road 476. Austin – 2.5 hrs – San Antonio – 2.5 hrs – Dallas 3.75 hrs – Houston – 5 hrs. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT: The property features a gentle roll in the front, where the home and barn overlook a spacious terraced field. Moving north, the terrain begins to undulate more distinctly, providing fantastic long-range views of northern McCulloch County from the back. The western rangeland of the ranch is primarily dominated by oak trees, interspersed with clusters of mesquite. The southeastern area mainly features grasslands, accompanied by groups of oaks, mesquite, and ash juniper. In the center, near the homestead, you’ll find impressive sprawling live oaks. WILDLIFE: Several years ago, the ranch was high-fenced and currently boasts a thriving population of axis and a small herd of fallow deer. While there are some native whitetails present, they are not part of active management efforts. The fence lines are meticulously maintained to prevent entry by hogs and coyotes. Additionally, there are chances to hunt doves and ducks. The front field has the potential to become an excellent sunflower or millet field for dove hunting.
