Conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Rockdale and the Sandow Lakes Ranch development, under 30 minutes from Taylor, and approximately 40 minutes from Round Rock.

Dusty Burro Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a well-rounded property with immediate usability and long-term upside.
At 2234 County Road 434 Loop in Rockdale, Dusty Burro Ranch spans 27.519 acres of mixed pasture and timber, with functional infrastructure already built for working livestock or serious hobby operations. The property includes multiple outbuildings and sheds positioned throughout the land, giving you immediate capacity for equipment storage, hay operations, or animal housing without additional construction.
The barn and storage structures sit strategically on the property to serve the improved pastures, which are scattered with mature post oaks and connected by internal access roads. Two ponds provide water sources for livestock and wildlife, essential amenities for any equestrian or agricultural venture. The pasture composition supports horses, cattle, goats, or mixed grazing operations, with land already cleared and maintained for productivity.
The main residence is a 1,819-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home built in 1986 and recently updated with new vinyl flooring, a newer roof, and refreshed HVAC. The layout includes a flexible bonus room connecting the kitchen and primary suite, practical for office space or additional living area.

Highway 79 sits nearby for quick highway access, while paved County Road 434 Loop handles daily traffic to Rockdale, which is less than ten minutes south.
The 27.519-acre footprint creates genuine flexibility for expansion, whether you want to add structures, develop additional homesites for future generations, or simply maximize the working capacity of your operation. The combination of existing barns, improved pastures, water access, and strategic road frontage removes typical constraints of raw acreage.

This property trades speculative potential for immediate usability.
