84.78 acres in Brazos County, Texas

M&B Ranch is an 84 acre Brazos Valley retreat located approximately 20 miles northeast of Bryan, Texas and about 10 minutes east of Normangee, Texas in Brazos County. The ranch is wrapped in rural privacy, yet easily accessible from BryanCollege Station, Waco and Houston. With frontage on Jack Manning Road, this low-fenced ranch offers the desirable combination of productive pastureland, attractive creek bottoms, and aviation-oriented improvements. M&B Ranchs history stretches to before the Civil War, when Henry Corgey immigrated from Germany and settled on the property. The ranch remained in his family until the late 1980s, when the current owner acquired it in three separate parcels. The land transitions from higher elevationsproviding multiple scenic homesite optionsdown to fertile bottomland shaded by mature pecans, live oaks, and post oak trees. Impressive live oaks also create a shady canopy along the primary entrance. Water features include a water well and two ponds (plus a natural site for a third). Year-round McDonald Creek forms the eastern boundary, and two wet-weather creeks add water when conditions are right. Wildlife is abundant, including white-tailed deer, feral hogs, small game such as squirrels and rabbits, and the occasional wild turkey. The property is currently under agricultural valuation and may be eligible for transition to a wildlife valuation. Throughout much of its recent history, the owner ran a small herd of cattle, but in recent years the property has only been grazed intermittently. For pilots and hobbyists, an 1,800 foot grass runway is paired with a 5,000 square foot barn originally designed as an airplane hangar, featuring 320-amp electrical service, a concrete floor, and two double doors for versatile storage and shop use. The barn, or a portion of it, could be re-purposed as living space while a primary residence is being constructed. Pastures are a mix of Coastal Bermuda and native grasses, and recent restoration work has removed most mesquite and persimmon, leaving a clean, beautiful canvas for the next owners vision. M&B Ranch offers the opportunity to build a dream life in the country to your exact specifications.
