In the western Hill Country, Kimble County is anchored by Junction, where the North and South Llano Rivers meet. Established in 1858, its history is steeped in ranching, hunting, and frontier life. Today, it’s known for outdoor recreation, with hunting leases, kayaking, and camping along the rivers. The county is strongly rural-small town, with Junction as the hub. Housing includes stone ranch houses, modest single-family homes, and recreational cabins. San Angelo (90 miles north) and San Antonio (120 miles southeast) are the nearest larger cities. Prices are modest compared to nearby Hill Country hotspots: most existing homes run $180,000–$280,000, while ranchland averages $3,500–$8,000 per acre, depending on river or highway access. Buyers often include hunters, retirees, and weekenders looking for affordable Hill Country acreage.
