Turtle Hill Ranch on the Colorado is a 1,480± acre live water cattle and hunting ranch near Brookesmith and Brownwood, built for buyers who want real river frontage, usable country, and strong recreation in one package. Nearly a mile of deep Colorado River frontage with a broad rock beach is the headline feature, giving you a true “river camp” setting for swimming, camping, fishing, and gatherings right on the water. Additional Home Creek frontage and Boggy Creek running through the middle of the ranch, plus twelve well-placed stock ponds, provide rare year-round surface water that supports both a capable cattle program and abundant wildlife. Rolling Central Texas hills with elevation change, limestone cliffs, hardwood ridges, and shaded creek bottoms give the ranch the big, dramatic look that shows extremely well in photos and on showings, while also hunting exceptionally well for deer, turkey, quail, dove, ducks, and hogs, with exotics observed on the property as well.

This is not just a pretty weekend place—it is set up as a true working outfit. The ranch is fully fenced and cross-fenced with strong native grasses, pipe and sucker rod working pens, and a practical pasture layout that makes day-to-day cattle work efficient. Two ranch homes with water, electricity, and internet service provide immediate usability for owners, guests, or staff. A 30x40 shop at the river house and a second 30x40 shop in the center of the ranch with lean-to porches on all sides offer equipment storage and workspace. A 40x50 hay barn with additional storage and a 35x25 livestock shelter support feeding and livestock handling. A solid internal road system and miles of ATV/UTV trails provide easy access to homes, river, ponds, fences, and hunting areas, and power has been run strategically throughout the property, including all the way down to the Colorado River, giving new owners flexibility for additional improvements or riverfront amenities.
