LOCATION
Conveniently located approximately one mile from Lake Somerville, the ranch enjoys an ideal Central Texas setting between Brenham and Bryan-College Station. Texas A&M University is only 25 minutes away, Round Top is approximately 35 minutes, and both Houston and Austin can be reached in about 90 minutes. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend getaway, the location offers easy access to boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and all the recreation Lake Somerville has to offer.

LAND & TERRAIN
The landscape strikes an ideal balance between productive grazing acreage and excellent wildlife habitat. Approximately two-thirds of the ranch is comprised of improved pasture, while the remaining acreage is covered in mature hardwoods that provide shade, privacy, and outstanding habitat for wildlife. Gently rolling terrain, scattered oaks, and an established internal road system allow easy travel throughout the property. Well-maintained cross fencing divides the ranch into nine grazing pastures, creating an efficient setup for rotational grazing and livestock management.

SURFACE WATER
Water is a standout feature of the property. Six ponds are strategically positioned across the ranch, supplying dependable water for livestock and wildlife while adding scenic beauty throughout. Several wet-weather drainages further enhance the water resources, and three water wells service the improvements while also supplementing select ponds when needed. The property has historically retained water exceptionally well and lies outside of the FEMA-designated floodplain.

IMPROVEMENTS
Overlooking a picturesque two-acre stocked pond is a well-maintained 2,520± square foot ranch home featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it ideal for full-time living or weekend escapes. The home and the 2,000± square foot barn, located just behind the residence, are both serviced by a dedicated water well. Additional improvements include two additional water wells, functional cattle working pens, quality cross fencing, and well-maintained high perimeter fencing, creating a turnkey setup for both livestock and recreational use.

WILDLIFE & RECREATION
The ranch was previously managed as a high-fenced exotic game ranch and continues to support a limited population of Blackbuck. Beyond the exotics, the property's diverse mix of hardwoods, native grasses, open pasture, and reliable water sources provides outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, dove, and migratory waterfowl. Nearby Lake Somerville further expands the area's recreational opportunities with boating, fishing, camping, and public hunting.

ROAD FRONTAGE
Accessibility is another defining feature of Sundance Ranch. The property boasts over 6,700 feet of paved road frontage, including approximately 3,700 feet along County Road 423 and over 3,000 feet along FM 1361. Dual paved access enhances everyday convenience while also contributing to the property's long-term investment appeal and future flexibility.
