North Zulch Real Estate
North Zulch is an unincorporated community 28 miles from the Bryan/College Station area and 12 miles from Madisonville in Madison County. North Zulch became an official stop on the Trinity and Brazos Valley railway in 1906 when the train company purchased 100 acres from Will Zulch. Shortly after the land deal closed, surveyors arrived in Zulch to plot out the acreage for individual sale.
Before North Zulch, There Was Zulch
Mr. Julius Zulch, a German immigrant, settled in Madison County in the 1850s and later became a property owner of commercial buildings in Bryan. Mr. Zulch set up a store in Willow Hole, in what was then Grimes County. The post office operated out of his establishment; a convenience for the shop owner who advertised the perks of Willow Hole to his former neighbors in Germany in an attempt to have them move to the new country.
By the 1880s Zulch's plan began to bear fruit with hundreds of Germans arriving in the radius surrounding the post office/general store and created a legacy of real estate in Madison County.
When the railroad line established the route and depot, Zulch morphed into North Zulch. The grocery store Mr. Julius Zulch founded made its way to the new territory. Today, you can find some of the best burgers in East Texas at the North Zulch Grocery.
The Navasota River is six miles west of the town site that provided water for local farmers before irrigation became widespread. Cotton crops led the way to mills and even seed oil mills.

A few of the amenities include playground equipment, basketball goals, fishing, boating, baseball fields, soccer fields, The Lake Madison Clubhouse and The Pavilion at Lake Madison.
There are Jet Ski races on Lake Madison during the summer, and there is a ski ranch on the lake to show off your ski skills. That's not something you see every day in our part of the state.
The county seat is also home to the Madison County Fairgrounds and Association. During the year, this area plays host to events like the Madison County Rodeo and children-focused competitions including culinary and visual arts.
