Sycamore Creek Ranch is the complete package—a turnkey 906.74+/- acre high-fenced recreational ranch offering exceptional live water, trophy hunting, quality improvements, and the kind of natural beauty rarely found in one property.

Hill Country Oasis, Diverse 900 Acres with rising elevations, varied terrain, plethora of wildlife and an abundance of water resources.

Summary: Sprawling across the gently rolling hills of southwestern Hamilton County, the J8 Lake Ranch offers the ideal combination of recreation, production, and comfortable country living. Spanning beautiful rolling terrain, the property features a mix of native grass pastures, improved grass fields, and a portion of cultivated land—providing excellent versatility for livestock, hay production, or wildlife habitat management. The centerpiece of the property is a 30+/- acre bass lake, a rare and remarkable asset that not only enhances the ranch’s beauty but also offers outstanding fishing and recreational opportunities. Gently rolling topography and scattered hardwoods create an inviting landscape that reflects the natural charm and productivity of this portion of Central Texas ranch country. The comfortable ranch home serves as an ideal weekend retreat or full-time residence, offering welcoming living spaces with views of the surrounding countryside. With its balance of open grasslands, water resources, and habitat diversity, this ranch appeals equally to the cattle producer, outdoor enthusiast, and investor seeking a scenic and well-rounded property. Location: Conveniently located 8.0 miles southwest of Hamilton, Texas, approximately 1 hour 50 minutes southwest of Fort Worth, 2 hours 15 minutes southwest of Dallas, 2 hours north of Austin, and just under 3 hours north of San Antonio. Physical Address: 1130 CR 603, Hamilton, TX 76531 Lakes/Surface Water: The ~30 acre lake follows the shape of the east valley where Spring Branch once traversed the property for ~1.2 miles. In addition to some great bass fishing, the lake is a regular stop for all sorts of waterfowl, and the owner thoughtfully constructed a rock dam up in the headwaters that feed the lake, creating a unique water feature and another holding pond/slough for waterfowl before spilling over the rocks and into the lake. Whether it's good day of angling, riding jet skis, or busting your limit of duck, the lake offers all sorts of recreational uses. Numerous other seasonal sloughs, draws, and ponds are scattered throughout the property. Terrain: The J8 provides over 100’ of rolling elevation change and scenic views of the property and surrounding area. A plateau runs through the west half of the ranch and a valley through the east half. The natural rise and fall of the land here, creates a significant watershed and drainage that feed into Spring Branch, a seasonal creek that lies in the bottom of this valley. You’ll find a mixture of native and improved grass pastures, as well as a combination of tree cover that consists primarily of scattered live oak motts and mesquite, along with some elm, hackberry, bumelia, cedar, and sumac. Ranch House: The main ranch house measures approximately ~2,288 sf with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The bedrooms consist of the owner’s bedroom/master, and then a much larger bunkroom type bedroom that is capable of sleeping as many as 10 or more. The centerpieces of the home are its large dining room and kitchen. Each is finished with wood and rock accents, and in the dining room you’ll find a beautiful, stamped copper tile ceiling. These two rooms are ideally suited for entertaining and feeding large groups, making this home a great place for hosting family and friends. The flooring throughout the home is a uniquely shaped pattern Saltillo tile, that was specifically chosen by the owners for its “French/New Orleans” style and charm. Barn: Just southwest of the home you’ll find a 1,500+/- sf rock sided barn on concrete. The barn has doors on either end allowing for drive-thru use and functionality for ease of storing feed, equipment, and side-by-sides. Water Wells: There’s a water well near the main ranch home/headquarters area that serves the home. Wildlife and Hunting: As previously mentioned, due to the lake seasonal waterfowl hunting can be excellent. This portion of Hamilton County is also known for growing some good native whitetail deer and Rio Grande turkey. The property is also frequented by hogs and varmints, and as you might expect since it’s located in the “Dove Capital of Texas”, dove hunting can be “lights out” when conditions are right. Roads and Fences: The main entrance to the ranch is located on Hamilton County Road No. 603, approximately 8/10ths of mile west of FM Highway 2005. In total, the ranch provides approximately 1.0 mile of county road frontage along its south boundary. The J8 also has an extensive system of internal ranch roads and trails that make for easy travel throughout the property. The owner has thoughtfully constructed a 2.4+/- mile all-weather ranch road that brings you into the ranch to the headquarters and then winds through the property, crosses over the lake dam and eventually circles back to tie in again near the headquarters. This road has a packed limestone rock base and has been topped with pea gravel in many areas which cuts down on road/trail dust as you “drive the loop” and enjoy the scenery. All perimeter and internal cross fences are typical barbed wire and t-post “low fencing”, and range in condition from poor to excellent. The property is crossed fenced into 5 separate pastures for rotational grazing and also offers a fenced off wildlife food plot. Utilities: Electric utility service is provided by Hamilton County Electrical Cooperative. The owners currently use Starlink for high speed internet service to the ranch, but there are other local high speed internet services available in the area as well. Easements: There are no large electric transmission line or pipeline easements encumbering the ranch. Minerals: Seller will convey whatever mineral interest owned, if any. There is no O&G production on the property and the minerals are not leased at this time. Buyer will assume responsibility and expense associated with a mineral ownership report if one is desired. Property Taxes: The property is ag-exempt and property taxes for 2025 are estimated to be around $3,500. Airport: The Hamilton Municipal Airport is located 5.5 miles northeast of the ranch. It provides an asphalt runway measuring ~5,012’ in length and averages ~89 aircraft per week.

Broker’s Note/Summary: For Buyers seeking a great recreational/getaway property they can enjoy but also make their own by adding improvements over time as they explore and get more acquainted with the property, this is a must see. A lot of the heavy lifting has already been completed with extensive cedar clearing, new all-weather ranch roads constructed, and the addition of two new ponds. With multiple potential building locations and multiple ranch access points from two separate county roads, the ranch offers the opportunity to quickly build a home, cabin, or barndominium at the building site nearest CR 111, and then if desired later, build your forever ranch home or lodge near the middle of the property where you can take advantage of this hilltop location that offers almost 360 degree views of the ranch, Leon River valley to the south and surrounding Hamilton County countryside. The land is diverse and has great character with lots of roll and a nice balance of hardwood tree covering and native pasture. There are also numerous sources of surface water (creek and stock ponds), the property is host to an abundance of wildlife and offers much to be explored and enjoyed by owner, family, and friends. Location: The property is located 8 miles north of Hamilton, Texas and 15 miles south of Hico, Texas, fronting on Hamilton County Road No. 105 and No. 111, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes southwest of Fort Worth, 2 hours southwest of Dallas, 2 hours north of Austin, and 3 hours north of San Antonio. Terrain: Located in the Western Cross Timbers Sub-Region of the Oak Woods and Prairies Region of North Central Texas, you’ll find diverse terrain with high hills, rolling native grass pastures, densely wooded areas, and fertile creek bottoms. Tree cover consists of live oak, red oak, post oak, elm, pecan, along with a variety of woody stem brush species and good browse such as redbud, elbowbrush, American beauty berry, sumac, bumelia, hackberry, cedar elm, mesquite, and greenbriar just to name a few. The excellent roll and topography equate to a total of ~120’ of elevation change and provides scenic vistas of the ranch and surrounding area. Pecan Creek: Seasonal Pecan Creek carves its way through the landscape here from north to south providing ~4,900’ of frontage along both sides. This tributary of the Leon River can and will run a lot of water during wet conditions and hold some pockets of water as conditions dry. The pecan and elm tree bottom that meanders along the creek offers great wildlife habitat and productive soils where wildlife food plots could easily be established. For the avid bow hunters, there’s no shortage of area to scout out and trees to pick from for your blind, and this creek bottom is a heavily utilized travel corridor for wildlife moving in and around the property. Additional Surface Water Sources: Two newly constructed stock ponds are just beginning to fill from recent rains and when full, will be ready to begin stocking with fish. These ponds should make great fishing holes to enjoy and also serve as reliable sources of water for wildlife and/or livestock. In addition to the new ponds, there's also one older pond located on the property Wildlife and Hunting: The property and area are home to an abundance of native wildlife including whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, hog, coyote, fox, and bobcat. The ranch has not been leased for hunting and only lightly hunted by the current owner. Ranch Roads and Trails: Approximately 1.5 miles of new all-weather main arterial ranch road was recently constructed that runs through the property. There’s also an additional ~3.5 miles of trails and pasture roads that provide excellent interior access to the new lake, multiple ponds, wooded creek bottom where trails wind back and forth with multiple creek crossings leading to hunting setups and food plots, as well as offering a fun side-by-side ranch loop to enjoy with family and guests.
