Tolar is the kind of town people drive through on Highway 377 and then come back to on purpose. It's a small Hood County town of fewer than a thousand residents, about 15 minutes southwest of Granbury, with one school district, a handful of churches, and a Friday-night football crowd that fills the stands.
What draws buyers here is the land around the town. Tolar sits in open country between Granbury and Stephenville, so the market is mostly homes on acreage, small ranches, horse property, and land to build on, at prices that usually come in below comparable property closer to Granbury and the lake.
