Brazos County Homes, Land and Ranches For Sale

Brazos County is home to Bryan, College Station and Texas A&M University. The Brazos River forms its western border, Bryan is the county seat, and the county covers about 591 square miles. Its population was estimated at 249,088 in 2025, which makes it the center of the Bryan-College Station metro area.

The county’s history and growth are tied to the university. In the 1870s the county donated 2,416 acres of land to create the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, now Texas A&M. Today the market includes student and investor property near campus, family neighborhoods in both cities, and country property in communities such as Wellborn, Kurten and Millican.

Outside the cities, the land is a patchwork of prairies, timber and river floodplain. Buyers look for homesites on acreage, small farms, horse property and hay and cattle land, often within a short drive of town. State Highway 6, State Highway 21 and U.S. 190 cross the county, and Houston is about 83 miles from College Station.

Near the Brazos and Navasota Rivers, flood zone matters, so we review maps and disclosures on every tract. For land and ranch property, work with Benjamin Bernell, our land and ranch agent. Own a home or acreage here? Get a pricing review of your Brazos County property before you list.
