About this property
Leon Bend Ranch is a rare 703± acre offering in Jonesboro, Texas, featuring 2.5 miles of Leon River frontage, abundant surface water, and a landscape that changes dramatically across the property. Fertile river bottoms lined with massive hardwoods give way to rocky hills, two rugged canyons, and thick native brush, creating the feel of three distinct ranches in one. Water is the defining feature of the ranch. Pecans, American elms, cottonwoods, and bur oaks line the riverbanks, creating a beautiful natural corridor, while a lake holding bass, catfish, and baitfish and three stock tanks add fishing and support wildlife and livestock. The fertile river bottom is currently in cultivation and could be converted to improved pasture or hunting food plots. Rising roughly 150 feet from the river, the uplands are covered in post oak, cedar elm, Ashe juniper, and mesquite, providing excellent cover for whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, feral hogs, dove, ducks, bobcat, and coyote. A 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch house provides comfortable accommodations for hunting season, weekend getaways, or a base for agricultural operations. Stewarded by the same family for more than 70 years, Leon Bend Ranch is ideally suited for a hunting and recreational retreat, a cattle or farming operation, or a legacy ranch to be enjoyed for generations, as it has been for decades. Massive hardwoods, fertile bottoms, rocky hills, and rugged canyons combine to create a property with unique character and habitat diversity. Ranches with this much live water and this variety of terrain rarely become available in Central Texas. Located 25 minutes from Hamilton and Gatesville, 1 hour from Waco, 1 hour 45 minutes from Austin, and 2 hours from DFW, the ranch offers true privacy and seclusion while remaining accessible from major Texas cities.

The Leon River flows through Coryell County, and Mother Neff State Park, the first state park established in Texas, sits on the Leon River within the county. The terrain features limestone hills and cedar brakes characteristic of the eastern Hill Country transition zone.
Gatesville had an estimated population of 16,058 as of 2023. The 76538 zip code has a median household income of $61,103, a median home value of $125,700, and a median age of 51.8. The average household size is 2.2 people.
Fort Cavazos overflow, cattle ranching, corrections industry employment, and agriculture anchor the Coryell County economy. The county offers affordable acreage at prices well below neighboring Bell County despite similar proximity to Fort Cavazos employment.
