With about 1,150 feet of spring-fed Buttermilk Creek and 50 acres in Bell County, 00 F-M 2843 stands out as a live-water farm-ranch tract where land, water, and location all line up. At 00 F-M 2843 in Salado, TX 76571, the asking price is $2.00 million, or roughly $40,000 per acre, and because there is no existing residence, a year built and price per square foot do not apply.

This is the kind of property buyers ask about when they want usable acreage with real long-term upside, not just open pasture. The creek frontage changes the conversation. Live water is hard to find, and here it creates a stronger setting for a private homesite, a weekend ranch, a hunting property, or a buy-and-hold land play in one of Central Texas' fastest-moving growth corridors. Days on market sit at 46, which tells you this is still available without feeling stale.

The setting in Salado gives you a practical balance of privacy and access. Downtown Austin is about 50 minutes south. Georgetown and Cedar Park are about 25 minutes away. Interstate 35 is the major connector for regional travel, employment, and future demand, and that matters if you're thinking about both daily usability and future value. Salado itself remains one of the more recognizable small-town names between Austin and Temple, with a strong local identity and easy access to dining, schools, and services.

From a land perspective, the natural mix here is a real asset. Mature Live Oak, Post Oak, Pecan, Black Walnut, Cedar Elm, Sycamore, and Ashe Juniper give the tract shape and cover. Native grasses and spring wildflowers support the rural feel without reading as raw or stripped down. Wildlife is part of the draw. Whitetail deer and Rio Grande turkey are regularly seen on the property, and the creek corridor supports a broader mix that includes ducks, doves, bobcats, coyotes, and raccoons. For buyers who want land they can actually enjoy from day one, that is a meaningful advantage.

For school planning, the property is served by Salado ISD, with Salado Int, Salado Middle School, and Salado High School. That school path adds another layer of appeal for buyers who want acreage without giving up a recognized district. In practical terms, 00 F-M 2843 offers water, scale, access, and flexibility in a part of Central Texas where those qualities should keep mattering for years ahead.
