Harwood, TX 78632 (Caldwell County)
About this property
This property is located in the sand hills of Caldwell County, which is known for deep sandy soils, great topography with big views, and lots of Post Oaks and Pines. The land is about 75% woodland and 25% native pasture. This closed canopy woodland has hundreds of Post Oaks, Pines, and Blackjack Oaks and provides excellent cover for hoof stock. There is over 100’ elevation change across the property ranging from 480’ to 582’. This rolling topography provides multiple high points with scenic long-range views that would serve as great building sites for a lodge. Multiple creek drainages traverse the tract with 4 ponds strategically located to provide water access across the property. Two of the ponds are approximately 0.75 of an acre and can be maintained by well water. In addition to the native wildlife such as Whitetail Deer, Rio Grande Turkey, Mourning Dove, and songbirds, several species of exotics call it home including Scimitar Horned Oryx, Red Deer, Axis Deer, Blackbuck, and Red Sheep. While the Red Deer and Oryx are in abundance, the other species have less than 10 animals per species. The headquarters include a 2,400sq. ft. 3 Bed, 2 Bath mobile home, scenic back porch, a 600sq.ft. bunkhouse, 30’x 60’ four-bay equipment shed, engineered tree house, stand-alone walk-in cooler for game. A person can access most of the property in a full-sized vehicle including most of the perimeter, however there is a vast network of trails accessible by UTV/ATV. Many of these trails would provide excellent access for the spot and stalk hunters. The entire perimeter is high fenced with a predator guard in good to fair condition. There is also internal high fencing that could divide the property into 3 separate pastures over 100 acres each. Additionally, there is a 9-acre section that could be used for soft release, trapping, or converted into deer management pens.

Location
About the Area
2524 Sandy Fork Rd is located in Harwood, Texas, in Caldwell County. Caldwell County lies at the southern edge of the Hill Country transition, centered on Lockhart, the Barbecue Capital of Texas, home to legendary pitmasters whose craft has drawn food pilgrims from around the world. The county blends working-class Texas tradition with proximity to the booming Austin corridor.
The San Marcos River forms part of the county's northern boundary, and the Plum Creek watershed drains much of the county's rolling blackland prairie and post oak savanna. The terrain is gentler than the Hill Country proper, with broad agricultural plains transitioning to wooded creek bottoms.
Harwood had an estimated population of 52 as of 2023. The 78632 zip code has a median household income of $63,250, a median home value of $184,400, and a median age of 42.5. The average household size is 2.44 people.
Agriculture, barbecue tourism, manufacturing, and Austin metro spillover define Caldwell County's economy. Lockhart has seen significant investment as buyers priced out of Austin seek affordable acreage and small-town living within 40 miles of downtown.
