For the first time, the iconic M&K Ranch is being offered to the public. The neatly expansive property encompasses 120.6 acres carefully carved from the historic 4,000+ acre Nine Bar Ranch in Waller County. In recent years, Waller County has gained tremendous popularity as a quality destination for those seeking the rural lifestyle within minutes from downtown Houston and surrounding areas. The property is quietly nestled one mile down the paved Kelley Road off of Highway 6, just 2 miles North from the intersection of Highway 6 and Highway 290 in Hempstead, Texas. The beautiful views, rolling terrain, productive ranch land and easy drive time to Houston or Austin make M&K Ranch truly one of a kind. Constructed with family entertainment and functional cattle ranching in mind, this property offers endless possibilities!
