Situated in Central Texas, Bosque County blends rugged Hill Country with farmland. Its seat, Meridian, and the town of Clifton (a cultural hub with strong Norwegian heritage) highlight its charm. Established in 1854, the county has scenic rivers, state parks, and historic architecture. The area is primarily rural-to-small town, though within reach of Waco (35 miles east). Housing ranges from craftsman-style homes in town to limestone ranch houses and riverfront properties. Prices generally range $250,000 to $400,000, with land tracts for custom building averaging $8,000–$15,000 per acre.
