Description

West Fork Ranch is a remarkable ±381-acre property located near the historic community of Shelby, in the highly desirable Round Top–Brenham area of NW Austin County. What sets this ranch apart is its rare combination of a beautifully appointed country estate & the rugged, untamed character of the surrounding land. An architecturally stunning home sits atop a prominent hill, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, centuries-old live oaks, & sweeping views of the countryside. Yet beyond this refined setting lies an entirely different world—hundreds of acres of heavily timbered creek bottoms, towering hardwood forests, winding creeks, & exceptional wildlife habitat. With approximately 4,650 feet of frontage along West Mill Creek and more than 100 feet of elevation change, West Fork Ranch offers the elegance and convenience of a premier country estate near Round Top, combined with the privacy, hunting, and sense of adventure typically associated with much larger, more remote ranches.
