Highway 36

Welcome to a 34.02-acre property just 9 miles south of Rising Star, TX. Part of a historic ranch originally acquired by JM Houser in the 1920s, this land has been passed down through generations before becoming part of Mad Ranches. The area is rich in history and natural beauty, featuring stunning views, large rock formations, and a connection to Texas’s storied past. Neighboring properties have yielded Comanche artifacts, and numerous pieces of petrified wood have been found on this property.
This property offers a versatile mix of terrain and wildlife-rich habitat, making it ideal for recreation, hunting, or creating your future homestead. Significant elevation changes of up to 80 feet provide incredible views of the countryside, while approximately 14 acres of flat grassland pasture at the front are perfect for livestock or other uses. Just inside the front gate, a cleared area of over 1 acre offers an excellent site for your envisioned structures, such as a home, barn, or cabin. The remainder of the property is heavily treed with majestic live oaks and hardwoods, providing shade, privacy, and excellent cover for whitetail deer and wild hogs that frequent the land.
Water features include a large pond—rumored to be stocked with fish—and 770 feet of Nanny Branch creek, which winds gracefully through the property. These features offer abundant opportunities for fishing, hunting, exploration, and a true escape into nature.
Key infrastructure is already in place, including a new front entrance and gate, new fencing along the west side, excellent fencing on the north and east sides, and partial fencing on the south with newly installed sections. Electricity is nearby, and a county water line is accessible along Highway 36, simplifying future development. With over 500 feet of Highway 36 frontage, this property is easily accessible while retaining its quiet, rural charm.
This property must be seen to be fully appreciated! More acreage available.
