Coleman, the county seat, anchors this Central Texas county known for ranching, hunting, and outdoor recreation at Hords Creek Lake. Established in 1858, it was once a frontier outpost. Today, the county remains largely rural, though revitalization is underway in downtown Coleman with shops and cafes. Housing stock includes historic homes, mid-century ranch houses, and farm properties. The nearest larger city is Abilene, about 55 miles north. Home prices average $130,000–$220,000, while ranchland suitable for building runs $3,000–$7,000 per acre.
