Landscape

The majority of Hidden Lake Ranch is covered in mature wooded timber, with approximately 8 ± acres of open field providing grazing ground and natural sightlines across the property. Dense oak timber meadows dominate the wooded portions, creating a mix of shaded cover and open meadow that works well for both cattle operations and wildlife. The terrain rolls gently throughout, with elevated sections offering natural vantage points across the surrounding countryside. A natural draw runs through the property, serving as a natural travel corridor for wildlife moving through the ranch.

Water Features

The centerpiece of the ranch is a well-built one-acre lake set among the hardwoods, providing reliable year-round water for livestock and wildlife. The lake is currently supplemented by the on-site water well to maintain depth, ensuring a consistent water source regardless of seasonal conditions. A water well was drilled on the property in April 2025 at 530 feet, giving the ranch a self-sufficient water supply for both the lake and any future residential or operational use.

Utilities

Electric service is already in place, and with a 2025 water well on the ground, two of the most significant infrastructure costs a raw land buyer would normally face are already handled.

Wildlife

The dense timber creates strong habitat for whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, wild hogs, and a range of other native species common to Coryell County. The combination of heavy wooded cover and open feeding areas produces consistent wildlife activity throughout the year.

Build Sites & Use

The open field area and a naturally cleared section adjacent to the lake offer solid locations for a future homesite or ranch headquarters. The existing road system around the property is accessible by truck, providing reasonable coverage of the ranch as it sits. Cattle infrastructure is already in place, allowing a new owner to step into an active operation from day one.

Summary

Hidden Lake Ranch is a 72 ± acre Coryell County property with a one-acre lake, a 530-foot water well drilled in 2025, electric utilities, an active cattle setup, and dense timber cover throughout. The infrastructure is in place and the land is ready to use. Additional acreage is available for buyers seeking a larger holding in this area.
