3013 Elsie St, Garwood, TX 77442 - Colorado County

Located in Colorado County, just twenty minutes from Interstate 10 and Columbus, TX, the Rock Island property consists of beautiful pastureland that was once used for cattle grazing. This area, just an hour and a half from downtown Houston, proliferates as Houston expands.

Rock Island was an early settlement on the Brazos River near Farm Road 1736 and west of present State Highway 6, six miles north of Hempstead and fifteen miles south of Washington-on-the-Brazos. The area was settled in 1896 as part of a Texas and New Orleans Railroad land promotion scheme. The survey and map of the community was completed on February 19, 1896. Initially known as Crasco, after nearby Crasco Creek, citizens petitioned the post office department to change the name to Rock Island in 1897. Due to its geography, Rock Island has a rich history of bridge building, including the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi (now gone), an unusual two-track railroad bridge, and the largest roller dam in the world.

The parent property has been divided into ten ranchettes, each approximately fourteen acres. Each ranchette has road frontage along quiet County Road 141 and offers a peaceful and relaxing setting to build your country home. This property is excellent for cattle, horses, or other livestock.
