Highway 36

Step into history with a 29.15-acre property just 9 miles south of Rising Star, TX. Originally part of a historic ranch acquired by JM Houser in the 1920s, this land is rich in heritage, with Comanche artifacts found on neighboring properties and petrified wood discovered on-site.
The property features 70 feet of elevation change, large rock formations, and approximately 1,115 feet of Nanny Branch creek, creating breathtaking views and abundant opportunities for recreation. Near the entrance, 1.5 acres of cleared land provide a welcoming space, transitioning into over 10 acres of flat grassland pasture with mesquite trees. The remainder of the property is heavily treed with live oaks and hardwoods, offering shade, privacy, and excellent wildlife habitat for whitetail deer and wild hogs.
Adding to its mystique, the land is rumored to have a hidden cave tied to the lore of a horse thief who once used it as a hideout. Water features, including the Nanny Branch stream and nearby ponds, provide additional recreational opportunities and enhance the property’s natural charm. With a new entrance and gate, fencing in place, 338 feet of Highway 36 frontage, and utilities nearby—including electricity and a county water line along Highway 36—this property is well-prepared for your vision.
