Turtle Hill Ranch on the Colorado is a 1,480± acre live water cattle and hunting ranch near Brookesmith and Brownwood, offering nearly a mile of deep Colorado River frontage with a broad rock beach plus additional Home Creek frontage and Boggy Creek running through the heart of the property. The river, creeks, and twelve stock ponds provide rare year-round surface water that supports both a capable livestock program and abundant wildlife. Rolling hills, elevation changes, limestone cliffs, and shaded creek bottoms create a dramatic look on approach and provide excellent habitat for white-tailed deer, Rio Grande turkey, bobwhite quail, dove, ducks, and other native game, with exotics also observed on the ranch.
The land is fully fenced and cross fenced with strong native grasses, pipe and sucker rod working pens, and practical pasture layout, giving it real production value beyond just recreation. Improvements include two ranch homes with water, electricity, and internet, a 30x40 shop at the river house, a second 30x40 shop with lean-to porches in the center of the ranch, a 40x50 hay barn with additional storage, a 35x25 livestock shelter, and a good internal road system with miles of ATV-UTV trails providing access to homes, river, ponds, and hunting areas. Power has been run strategically throughout the property, including all the way down to the river, allowing future owners flexibility for additional improvements or riverfront amenities.
With all owned minerals conveying and no active oil and gas leases reported, Turtle Hill Ranch combines Colorado River frontage, multiple live water features, strong terrain, and existing improvements into a rare Central Texas offering suited for buyers looking for a working cattle ranch, a serious hunting and recreation place, or a long-term legacy land investment.
