There's a stretch of Coryell County, Texas, that feels like it missed the memo on the modern world, and that's exactly what makes Two Hawks Ranch so rare. The gate swings open off a paved county road only minutes from Highway 84, but the moment you pass through, the highway disappears. The noise, the traffic, the rush of it all: gone. What's left is the sound of wind through native grass, the call of birds working the stock tanks, and the kind of quiet that reminds you why you wanted land in the first place.
This is 203± deeded acres of rolling Central Texas ranch country, offered turnkey and ready for someone who understands what it means to be a good steward of exceptional land.

Pull through the gated entry and the property announces itself immediately. Open pastures unfold on both sides of the drive, and two stock tanks come into view early, sitting quiet and full near the front of the property. They set the tone for what this land is about: water, wildlife, and a ranch that has been managed with intention.
The elevation rises as you move deeper in. You begin to feel the roll and lift of the terrain, the way the land layers itself across the horizon. And then you arrive at the house, perched up on one of the highest points of the property, and it all opens up.
The House — Built to Last, Designed to Belong
The custom ranch home at Two Hawks is not a place to rough it. It was conceived and built with a single governing idea: every design decision should feel like it grew from this land rather than being dropped onto it. At approximately 3,725 square feet, this is a home that earns its footprint.
Step inside and the bones speak for themselves. High ceilings create a sense of openness throughout, while the floor plan maintains a distinct character in each space: three living areas, a dedicated dining room, and storage solutions that actually make sense for ranch life. Hardwood floors run through most of the home, paired with new carpet where it counts. The flow from room to room is seamless, the kind of layout that took real thought to get right.
The primary suite is a proper retreat: two generously sized walk-in closets, a separate soaking tub and shower, and dual vanities. Upstairs, a secondary living area gives the kids their own world to inhabit. Above that, a third-story observation room sits above the tree line, offering a commanding perch over the surrounding country. Use it as a study, a sunset room, a glassing tower during deer season, or simply the best seat in the county. A three-car garage rounds out the package.
The landscaping was designed for all four seasons, thoughtful and intentional, and low-maintenance enough to handle itself between visits.
The Land — Variety, Wildlife, and Room to Roam
Two Hawks is not a one-note ranch. The 203± acres moves through open pasture, heavily wooded corridors, and elevated vantage points that reward a slow afternoon cruise in the side-by-side. The rolling topography keeps every acre interesting and gives the property a sense of scale that photographs can't fully capture.
Four stock tanks are distributed across the property in a way that feels almost planned by nature itself. Two greet you near the front as you drive in, reflecting sky and tree line from the moment you arrive. Push further back into the property and two more open up, slightly larger, tucked deeper into the ranch where the land settles and the wildlife pressure is highest. All four are in excellent condition and serve as the backbone of the habitat here. White-tailed deer, turkey, and native birds make regular use of this land, a testament to the careful stewardship that has defined this property's management. Cattle have been run here as well, but never to the point of overgrazing. The native grass stands are healthy, thick, and productive.
A classic windmill still turns on the property, in great shape and adding the kind of character that new construction simply cannot manufacture. A deep water well serves the home with high-quality drinking water. And tucked into the landscape is one of the property's most memorable features: a hand-built stone storm shelter constructed well before the house, a piece of history standing in quiet contrast to everything modern around it.
Location — The Best of Both Worlds
Two Hawks Ranch occupies that rare sweet spot: remote enough to feel like you've truly escaped, close enough that you never have to sacrifice convenience. Gatesville has groceries, restaurants, medical, and everything in between, just a short drive away - 9 miles approximately. Waco and Temple are approximately 40 miles and Austin is about 90 miles.
This is Central Texas ranch country at its finest, with access that makes it work as a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a generational legacy property.
