About this property

Located between Marble Falls and Burnet, this scenic 52 acres features live water along Hairston Creek, abundant wildlife, and Hill Country views only one hour from Austin. The clear span metal building is insulated and has a spacious kitchenette, full bath, water filtration/laundry room, and 20 feet deep lean-to on the south side. At 4000sf it’s large enough to convert half of it into a 3 bed, 2 bath barndo with a screened porch facing the draw and still have 2,000sf remaining for a workshop and storage. A 10,000 gallon rainwater catchment system was installed in 2023 to take advantage of the metal roof, and a well-maintained 1 bed, 1 bath mobile home with porches on both ends completes the improvements. Multiple elevated homesites provide sweeping Hill Country views and a choice of location that’s either closer to the road or more centered in the property. This ranch packs a bigger punch than you might expect! With its varied terrain, Hairston Creek, another wet weather creek, and numerous tree and animal species, it’s a whole lot of Texas to explore in any season. Elm, live oak, pecan, ashe juniper, persimmon, yaupon holly, wildflowers, deer, feral hogs, turkey, owls, kestrels, and songbirds are some of the species found here. Currently under a wildlife appraisal, the plentiful native grasses, legumes and forbs could support cattle or other livestock as well. This cozy ranch offers privacy, hunting, and room to expand while still being only 15 minutes from groceries at HEB, supplies at Home Depot, and dinner at restaurants in the Burnet Historic Square or 20 minutes away in Marble Falls. It’s the best of all worlds! While the roads leading to the ranch are a bit winding, this property still has dark night skies, no windmills, no data centers, and no housing developments. Come out and walk the creeks and draw that attract deer and turkey, enjoy the views, and see how peaceful yet convenient this ranch feels.
