WATER METER INSTALLED. Tract 2 offers 20 acres along Talbert Ranch Road in China Spring ISD with a rare mix of privacy, elevation, mature trees, usable land, and natural character. One of the more heavily wooded tracts in the offering, it sits higher than much of the surrounding land before gently rolling toward Rock Creek, creating good natural drainage and a private, protected feel. Tucked back among the trees is a beautiful potential homesite that would allow someone to build with maximum privacy while still having easy access to the open portions of the property. As the land works down toward Rock Creek, it opens into a nice area of pasture that adds flexibility for livestock, a small field, food plot, or simply open space to enjoy. That balance of woods and open ground gives the tract both character and practical usability. Rock Creek is a seasonal creek that runs through the area and eventually works its way toward the Brazos River. Between the creek, natural draws, nearby food sources, and heavy cover, this part of the property provides excellent wildlife habitat, with deer regularly seen throughout the area. The tract has the feel of a strong recreational property while still laying out extremely well for someone looking to build and enjoy the land full time. With a water meter already installed, Tract 2 removes one of the biggest unknowns for rural land buyers and offers a hard-to-find combination of privacy, elevation, good drainage, mature trees, open pasture, wildlife, and a tucked-away homesite, all within desirable China Spring ISD and convenient to Waco.

Tract 8 offers approximately 40 acres in China Spring ISD with frontage on Garrett Lane, a highly usable open layout, and added character from Rock Creek along one side of the property. This tract has a similar practical feel to Tract 7, but the creek and tree cover give it more shape, privacy, and natural interest. The majority of the land is open, making it easy to visualize a future homesite, barn, livestock setup, garden, or small ranch operation. The usable land is already there, giving you a clean slate to build, improve, or enjoy. One of the best features of Tract 8 is the way Rock Creek bends along the side of the property. Rock Creek is a seasonal creek that runs through the area toward the Brazos River. Along the creek, tree cover adds shade, wildlife habitat, and a natural edge to the open field. That combination of open ground and creekside cover gives the tract more character than a simple pasture. There are several strong homesite options across the property. A buyer could build in the open to take advantage of the space and views or position a home to use the creekside trees for privacy and character. With approximately 40 acres, there is enough room to create something meaningful without taking on more land than most people need. This is also a strong buy-and-hold option. Land in China Spring ISD can be difficult to replace, especially in this size range with usable ground, Garrett Lane frontage, and natural features. Whether the goal is to build now, hold for the future, or use it for recreation or agriculture, Tract 8 gives a buyer flexibility.

The land sits higher than the neighboring tracts, giving it a strong position with good natural drainage and an open feel.

Tract 7 is a great fit for someone who wants usable acreage and does not want to spend the first few years making the land functional. It is already easy to understand and easy to put to use. The open field gives you flexibility for livestock, hay production, recreational use, or a future homestead. There is beauty in open land when it lays right, drains well, and gives you options.

WATER METER INSTALLED. Tract 6 offers 29.62 acres in China Spring ISD with frontage on Culpepper Lane, a mostly open layout, and Rock Creek along the west border. For buyers wanting land that is easy to understand, easy to use, and ready to shape into their own place, this is one of the more straightforward options in the Talbert Ranch Road offering. The property is mainly open, giving a buyer a clean slate from day one with plenty of room for a future home, barn, livestock, gardens, equipment, or other improvements without having to clear significant brush. The open ground also makes it easy to picture how the property could be laid out, whether the goal is a homestead, small ranch, weekend place, or long-term land hold. One of the best features of Tract 6 is the west side of the property, where Rock Creek creates a natural boundary lined with mature trees.
