About this property

83.42 acres of rare Central Texas land sitting right on Highway 79 — one of the region's fastest-growing corridors. Positioned almost perfectly between Austin/Taylor (1 hr) and Bryan/College Station (30 min), with direct paved highway frontage and two gated entrances. Approximately 45 minutes from the new Samsung site in Taylor. The Highway 79 corridor continues to see tremendous growth and investment, with major projects like Sandow Lakes Ranch and the massive Samsung development reshaping the region — and this property sits right in the path of it all. The terrain here is something truly special, and rarely found at this scale in Milam County. Over 50 feet of elevation change rolls across the ranch, with winding creek beds weaving throughout and a high point near the rear offering sweeping views to the northwest and southwest. Multiple exceptional homesites are ready for a custom home, weekend retreat, or working ranch — with plenty of room for a shop, barn, or guest house. Roughly 40% of the property is wooded, 60% open pasture and native terrain. Thick woods dominate the southern portion, with oaks, cedars, elms, and yaupon throughout. But the real showstopper is the abundance of native pine trees — hundreds of them, ranging from young growth to towering 50-foot specimens. It's a sight genuinely uncommon in this part of Texas and gives the ranch a character all its own. Wildlife is plentiful: deer, hogs, dove, varmints, and songbirds roam freely. Four ponds dot the ranch, including a ~1.5-acre pond with standing timber that offers excellent bass fishing and duck hunting while also supporting livestock and wildlife alike. The property currently carries a valuable wildlife exemption keeping annual taxes near just $700/yr. Water meter and power line already in place. A newer pipe entry at the main gate adds a strong first impression. This is a rare chance to own a piece of Central Texas before growth pushes the rest of the way east.
