About This Home
Don't miss the chance to secure your piece of classic Texas real estate! This is a great opportunity to own a beautiful, raw 29.81-acre tract in the heart of Washington County, The birth place of Texas! Renowned for its picturesque rolling hills, historic charm, and vibrant bluebonnet country. A key feature is the beautiful stock pond providing a reliable water source for wildlife or livestock and a perfect spot for fishing and peaceful relaxation. This property is perfectly set up for a custom homestead, weekend ranch, or long-term investment. A desirable mix of native grasses, open pastureland, and scattered mature trees, perfect for livestock or a wildlife habitat.
Conveniently located with easy access to the charms of:
* Brenham (The birthplace of Blue Bell Ice Cream) * Chappell Hill (Historic town with a strong community feel) * Washington-on-the-Brazos (The birthplace of Texas)
The property offers a perfect blend of peaceful rural living while still being accessible to major cities: Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to Houston and 1 hour 45 minutes to Austin.
Great paved road frontage along FM 2679, with power and water lines running along the same road.
Some reasonable deed restrictions will be placed on the property.
This 29.81-acre tract in Burton, Washington County sits on the foundation for genuine independence in Texas Hill Country - raw land with existing infrastructure that eliminates years of development delays. The property fronts FM 2679 with paved road access, power lines already running along the easement, and a stock pond that provides immediate water resources for livestock, wildlife, or irrigation systems. Rolling slopes and native grassland create natural drainage and diverse microclimates, ideal for both pasture management and regenerative agriculture.
The parcel lies 15 minutes from Brenham, home to Blue Bell Creameries and the Washington County seat, and sits halfway between Houston (75 minutes south) and Austin (90 minutes northwest). Washington-on-the-Brazos, the state's birthplace, anchors the region's historical significance just 20 minutes away. The location offers genuine rural character without remote isolation - Chappell Hill's community infrastructure and services remain accessible for daily needs while the land itself requires nothing of nearby towns.
This is raw acreage designed for self-sufficient development. The existing stock pond eliminates the expense of well drilling as a first priority, though the property's elevation and rolling topography suggest strong groundwater potential. Power line proximity means grid connection is straightforward if desired, but the acreage and open southern exposure create ideal conditions for solar installation without shade complications. Native pasture and scattered mature trees provide windbreaks and natural microhabitat - foundations for a homestead that generates rather than consumes resources.
The land supports multiple independence models. Livestock operations find ready pasture and water. Agricultural enterprises - from orchards to market gardens - leverage the varied terrain and soil exposure. A custom residence can be sited for passive solar gain while the remaining acreage remains productive. Weekend ranch use preserves the land for future expansion. Long-term investors benefit from Washington County's agricultural value and proximity to the Houston-Austin corridor.
Deed restrictions ensure compatibility with the rural character rather than limiting genuine use - a protection that preserves both your vision and neighborhood stability. At $32,000 per acre, this represents direct access to land economics that reward patience and thoughtful stewardship rather than speculative timing. The 36 days on market reflect real opportunity for buyers serious about building something substantial on proven Texas ground.
