Blanket Creek Ranch
Brown County, Texas

350 +/- Acres 

The Blanket Creek Ranch with 350 +/- acres has been cared for by the same family for over 100 years. The terrain is rolling hill country with an abundance of live oaks, post oaks, elms, pecans, with some mesquite and cedar that provide heavy cover for the deer, turkey, and dove that roam the ranch. The deer feel right at home here at Blanket Creek Ranch as hunting has not been allowed in over 10 years. Blanket Creek, lined with huge trees, runs through the ranch with frontage on both sides giving the wildlife a safe haven to bed down by. There are also springs and 4 ponds on the ranch….one is stocked with large bass to provide excellent fishing opportunities for the avid fisherman. In addition to the bass the pond has bluegill for the children to try their hand at catching.

The ranch is fronted by 3 roads….two of which are paved. Awesome views can be found in several places around the property which allow for the perfect homesite. Nautral gas, electricity, and telephone service are available. The fencing is good and ready to turn your livestock out in either of the two pastures or the 13 acre coastal field. In the spring the field comes alive with an awesome display of bluebonnets springing up amidst the lush green coastal.

In days gone by Indians camped on the Blanket Creek Ranch and signs of where their camps were located can still by found. This ranch is perfect for recreation, for livestock, and exploring…..you will want to put this one on your list of “must see” ranches in central Texas.

BLANKET, TEXAS. Blanket is on U.S. Highway 67/377 ten miles northeast of Brownwood in eastern Brown County. According to some accounts Blanket Creek was named in 1852 by a group of surveyors who came upon a band of Tonkawa Indians who had been caught in a downpour and had spread their blankets over sumac bushes near the creek for protection. Later the name was transferred to the community that developed on its banks. Two of the earliest settlers in the area were F. M. Cross and Dan Pinkard, who arrived in 1862. Pinkney Anderson established a store in 1873 and was the first postmaster when a post office was established in 1875. When the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad was extended from Comanche to Brownwood in 1891, Blanket was moved from its former site to its present location. It had a population of 304 in 1904 and 472 in 1929. In the 1930s it had twenty businesses and a population of more than 300. By 1970 it had seven businesses and its population remained at around 300. In the late 1980s Blanket had five businesses and 388 residents, and in 1990 its population was 381. In 2000 the population was 402. Artist Harold O. Kelly lived for a while in Blanket.
