About this property

Hidden Lake Ranch is a 72.07 acre property in Coryell County offering a predominantly wooded landscape anchored by a well-built one-acre lake set among mature hardwoods. With approximately 8 acres of open field, a working cattle setup already in place, a water well drilled in April 2025, and electric utilities on the property, this is a functional, well-resourced ranch ready to work from day one. The ranch is situated near Purmela in Coryell County. County Road 180 provides paved, year-round access directly to the property, accessible by standard two-wheel-drive vehicle. 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. A natural draw runs through the property, serving as a natural travel corridor for wildlife moving through the ranch. 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. 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. The 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 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.

About the Area

TBD County Road 180 72 ac Rd is located in Purmela, Texas, in Coryell County. Coryell County sits immediately west of Bell County, sharing the Fort Cavazos influence while maintaining a more rural character. Gatesville, the county seat, is a small working-class Texas town surrounded by ranches and cedar breaks that have changed little over the past century.

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.

The 76566 zip code has a median household income of $139,342, a median home value of $239,800, and a median age of 52.1. The average household size is 2.65 people. The zip code has a total population of 387.

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.
