Canyons on Cowhouse Creek
Purmela, TX317± acres in Coryell County with nearly a mile of live, rock-bottom Cowhouse Creek, roughly 160 feet of elevation change, and a turn-key family compound, just 90 minutes from Austin.
Cross Valley Ranch is a 404± acre rangeland offering, nestled in northeastern Mills and partially in western Hamilton Counties. It sits centrally between the towns of Goldthwaite and Hamilton. The ranch presents a diverse landscape, featuring rolling open pastures dotted with hardwoods on its western side and secluded trails and open motts on the eastern side, with brush concentrated across the eastern portion of the property, where the wildlife habitat is best. Live oak and juniper are the dominant trees, with pecan, elm, shinnery, sumac, post oak, blackjack oak, and prickly pear as well. A central valley dominates the ranch, rising 100 feet in elevation. The ranch feels very secluded on the bottom of the valley, while the western ridges offer expansive views to the north. Wind turbines are visible on neighboring landowners' properties to the west.
The ranch is well-suited for cattle or other livestock, offering excellent forage, robust fencing with one main cross fence, and a basic set of corrals. The western and upper pastureland exhibit well-managed range stewardship, with minimal brush regrowth and prickly pear in most places, and notably thick stands of native grassland that are well established. Water comes from several small ponds naturally integrated into the property, following the gentle draw that extends from the western hill to the eastern ravine, along with a solar water well supplying a concrete drinker. Electricity is on the property.
Long gravel frontages on County Road 241 and County Road 239, with a gated entrance on County Road 239. Access via Farm to Market 575 from Goldthwaite and Farm to Market 218 from Hamilton.
