Brazos River Ranch

Brazos River Ranch | 107± Acres | Smith Bend, Texas Welcome to Brazos River Ranch, an exceptional 107± acre recreational property nestled in the highly sought-after Smith Bend region of the Brazos River, located approximately seven river miles south of the Lake Whitney Dam. Offering an unmatched combination of river frontage, hunting opportunities, riding terrain, and future homesite potential, this is the type of property that rarely comes available. Whether you’re searching for the perfect location to build your forever home, a private weekend retreat to unplug and recharge, or an outdoor playground for family and friends, Brazos River Ranch checks every box. Multiple build sites provide excellent views and flexibility for future improvements, while water service is provided by the Smith Bend Water Supply and electricity is readily available along the county road. What was once quarry ground mined more than 40 years ago has evolved into one of the most unique recreational landscapes in the area. Over the decades, the property has transformed into a diverse mix of rolling terrain, elevation changes, and large established hardwood trees growing throughout the ranch, creating exceptional habitat for wildlife and outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation. Water features are abundant throughout the ranch with multiple ponds and sloughs holding water year-round. Flooded timber within these wetlands creates outstanding duck hunting opportunities while also supporting excellent fishing right on the property. The ranch is high fenced and has benefited from years of wildlife management, with the current ownership releasing improved genetic whitetail deer as well as axis deer to further enhance the hunting experience. For ATV, dirt bike, and side-by-side enthusiasts, this property is hard to beat. Having hosted numerous races over the years, the ranch offers an extensive network of established trails and riding terrain that provide endless entertainment for riders of all skill levels. Perhaps the crown jewel of the property is its coveted Brazos River frontage, featuring an estimated 850 feet of river access. During normal river flows, several deep holes directly in front of the property create ideal conditions for fishing, swimming, floating, or simply relaxing along one of Texas’ most iconic waterways. Despite its private setting, Brazos River Ranch remains conveniently located just 20 minutes from the town of West, a little over 30 minutes from Waco, approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes from Fort Worth, and roughly 1 hour and 25 minutes from Dallas, making it an easy escape from the city without sacrificing accessibility. If you’ve been searching for a property that offers hunting, fishing, river recreation, riding trails, and the opportunity to create your own legacy property, Brazos River Ranch deserves a hard look.
