251 acres in Williamson County, Texas

This larger commuter ranch would be perfect for someone in Austin or Georgetown that wanted to live outside of town slightly in “rural” Texas but be close to the city amenities being only 40 minutes to downtown Austin and 20-30 minutes to Round Rock or Georgetown, TX. You can either buy just 200 acres of raw native pastureland with some improved grasses mixed in or you can buy it all at 251 acres with the house thrown in with it. It has a lot of paved Highway frontage on Hwy. 138(approx. 4000 ft. or so)as seen in option 1 for some investor/developer to take advantage of. As option two goes, you could get 200 acres without the house and any improvements with around 1500 ft. of frontage on Hwy. 138. The property is irregular in shape and has two stock ponds on it, 1/8 of the minerals go with it with the surface rights, a lot of it is in coastal to where you could bale hay off of it and have horses and cows on the land, and also you could rent the house for around $1000-$1500 a month as an investment being this close into town if you did option 1. Taxes run approx. $400 for the land and $2800 for the house. It is in Ag. Exempt. Williamson County is one of the fastest growing counties in the USA right now. The older ranch house is very nice/large and very livable for someone(valued at $119K with .89 acre lot with WCAD).It has been recently renovated by the current owners back in 2004. It has a large water line with CTSUD on Hwy. 138 on the south side of Hwy. 138(12 inch water line that could be bored across for a certain dollar amount) and could easily be utilized for development purposes. The overall property is odd in shape and Teagues Trail easement coming off of CR 223 from the back could easily be used for access to the back of the property since it conveys with the land. There is good fencing all the way around the ranch and also some good interior fencing too. This property is under contract as of 6/29/2012.

This is a tract that is right on the edge of the all of the growth of the City of Austin very close to Toll 130 and Hwy. 71. It is also very close to ABIA and the new F1 racetrack area too. It is a transitional piece of land that sits on the outside of the city limits of Austin that some investor would want to sit on and then develop it in 5-10 years. There is a 12 inch Aqua WSC line on FM 535(Pearce Lane)right in front of the tract and the property has approx. 7,000 feet of total paved CR frontage between the two paved roads(FM and CR).It is in Ag. Valuation which would be perfect for an investor who wants to hold it now and develop it later. The property has some incredible views off of the hilltops and also has a nice gentle roll to it which gives some incredible views off of the top of the property. There is power to the property with Bluebonnet Electric and there is no WW yet only septic. Propane is available in the area. There are some subdivisions and lots of housing development in the area with houses ranging in a price range of $80,000 to $120,000. All the mineral convey that the seller has which we think is 100 percent. It has an Austin Energy power line running down the very north end of it. It has a seasonal creek on it with some very large oaks around it and it has a lot of mesquite on it. There is no flood plain and the gas service to the ranch is just propane. It has a cell tower that the sellers would negotiate on in selling the property that would provide some potential income to the new owner. The sellers are not selling this with it upfront but it is a negotiating tool for them. It is a perfect rectangle shape for development. There are hardly any improvements of value on it with an old ranch house and a mobile home and some sheds/barns. There is a caretaker that lives on the ranch that would love to stay but will go at new buyer’s discretion. The seller is selling for estate reasons and they al live out of state currently. The perimeter fences are all in good shape. There is a brand new survey completed 7/29/2014 paid for by the seller already.

This property is very private and secluded and 40 minutes to downtown Austin and 1 hr and 30 min. to Houston. You access it off of of Knobbs Rd.(CR) via a 45 ft. deeded easement(road) back to the house 1 mile back on a dirt/gravel road. It is just 5 miles N. of Hwy. 290. The improvements are not really worth much(old house and storage shed, etc..). The improvements are worth around $150K or so. There are towering pines all over it(100-200 ft. tall) and 10-15 ft. wide at the trunks. There are groves and groves of these trees all over the place. There are 2 tanks, and one more they are in the process of making into a 5 acre lake at the expense of the seller. They have Aqua WSC water to the house, which is a plus, and have all utlities set up at the house. This ranch has the 3 knobbs that are just NE of the land maybe 200 yds. which are the highest peaks in the county and have a lot of history to them with the local area. These are some of the biggest pine trees I have seen in the county. It is covered in wildlife, is in ag. exempt, has some great roll to it also which is very unique for the area and county. This seller is moving to the Virgin Islands within thrity days, and needs to sell quickly. Has large neighbors, the seller has done a lot of improving to the land(cleared roads, aqua wsc hookup at house, deer feeders, slab driveway around the house, nice new fencing and gates, hottub at the house, huge workshop/garage/etc.). Would make a great natures conservancy type place or a great end user weekend retreat place for R&R. Seller wants cash or with large down payment he will carry the paper. Exchanges welcome as well. Unbelievable place, and trees/privacy/location to Austin are to die for for this area. Improvements are modest. This is the most quiet and serene place I have ever seen in Bastrop County. The seller will divide 80 acres with the house for half a million(SE corner of the property or southern portion of the land).
