This 506± acre property in Hamilton County offers a rare opportunity for investment, recreation, or development in the heart of Hamilton, Texas. Conveniently located just 13 miles from both Hico and Hamilton, two charming towns with excellent restaurants, grocery stores, and medical services, this property is easily accessible with U.S. Highway 281 bisecting the land. Approximately 400± acres lie on the west side of the highway, while 106± acres sit on the east. Both tracts have highway 281 frontage and county road frontage on the south boundary side. The main entrance, marked by custom stone gates, leads to a distinctive stucco lodge nestled on the western tract. This spacious lodge was built for entertaining, with a massive great room, open-concept kitchen and dining area, vaulted ceilings, and a loft with a full bath. There is a primary bedroom with a separate entrance and a kitchenette, as well as another guest room and a laundry room. Downstairs includes a large kitchen & suite, a full bath, and a half bath. See the floor plan for details on the flexible layout, perfect for hosting large groups or family gatherings. Just outside the lodge are several key improvements, including a large metal workshop, cattle pens, barns, and an original windmill, ideal for a working ranch or recreational retreat. The landscape is a scenic mix of native hardwoods, such as oak and juniper, with gently rolling terrain and one stock tank that supports livestock and wildlife. On the south end of the eastern tract, a separate entrance off CR 105 provides access to a peaceful area featuring large oak trees, a water well, an RV hookup, and electricity, making it an ideal future homesite or weekend getaway. With its versatile layout, extensive road frontage, and existing infrastructure, this property is well-suited for a hunting lodge, family compound, or long-term investment.
