DESCRIPTION
Covered Meadow Ranch is a 25 ± acre property in Coryell County offering direct paved road frontage, open field on both the northern and southern ends of the tract, and a wooded interior of mesquite and mixed hardwoods with natural meadows running beneath the canopy throughout. The two draws that cut through the property give it a natural depth and wildlife character that most tracts at this size simply do not have.
Location
The ranch fronts directly on County Road 180, providing paved, year-round access without the need for easements or gravel roads. Located near Purmela in Coryell County. The road frontage adds practical value beyond convenience, offering clean access for equipment and livestock trailers and strong visibility that matters for both personal use and future resale.

Landscape
Open field anchors both the northern and southern ends of the ranch, with approximately 5 ± acres of that ground providing immediate grazing potential and natural sightlines across the property. The interior is primarily mesquite and mixed hardwoods, with open meadows running beneath the canopy throughout, creating a layered landscape that works well for livestock and holds wildlife far better than open pasture alone. Two natural draws cross the property with mixed hardwood bottoms, adding terrain character and creating defined travel corridors through the ranch.
Water Features
The two draws represent the most compelling water development opportunity on this tract. Both sit in natural low-ground positions with hardwood bottom cover, making them solid candidates for future pond construction without major earthwork. No well is currently drilled on the property. Wells in this area of Coryell County typically reach water at 530 to 600 feet with yields of approximately 25 gallons per minute.
Utilities
An electric line runs along the northern boundary of the property, making utility hookup straightforward for a future homesite, cabin, or ranch infrastructure without the cost of a long service extension.
Wildlife
The combination of mesquite and mixed hardwood cover, open meadows, and two draws with hardwood bottoms creates consistent, layered habitat for the native species of Coryell County. Whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, and wild hogs move through properties with this character throughout the year, and the draws function as natural travel corridors that concentrate wildlife movement across the ranch.
Build Sites & Use
With road frontage on County Road 180, electric service already accessible along the northern boundary, and a manageable 25-acre footprint, Covered Meadow Ranch is well suited for a future homesite, weekend cabin, or small ranch headquarters. The wooded interior provides a natural setting for a cabin positioned back from the road with real privacy, and the draws offer a scenic focal point for any build site or camp.
Summary
Covered Meadow Ranch offers 25 ± acres of Coryell County land with paved road frontage, open field on both ends, a mesquite and hardwood interior with natural meadows throughout, two draws with real pond development potential, and electric service accessible along the northern boundary. Compact, functional, and well located near major Central Texas markets, this is a straightforward opportunity in an area with real long-term land value. Additional acreage is available for buyers seeking a larger footprint in this part of Coryell County.
