With 100 feet of elevation change, the landscape provides varied terrain that is ideal for hiking, hunting, and exploring. The property is a hunter’s paradise, teeming with deer, turkey, dove, hogs, and other wildlife. Whether you’re looking for a serene retreat, a hunting haven, or an outdoor playground, Mason Ranch delivers it all in an unbeatable location. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this slice of Texas Hill Country paradise.
Seventy-one acres with roughly 1,500 feet of Campbells Branch Creek frontage is the kind of land position that rarely comes available this close to Central Texas growth corridors. At 8256 S Us Highway 183, Briggs, TX 78608, this $1.93 million farm-ranch delivers a 3,007-square-foot stone home built in 2005, set on varied terrain with about 100 feet of elevation change and wide Hill Country views.
What stands out first at 8256 S Us Highway 183 is the mix of usable land and comfortable living. The home is large enough for full-time use, weekend use, or multigenerational stays, and the setting gives it real separation from nearby suburban traffic without cutting off access to daily needs. At $640 per square foot, the value story here is not just the house. It is the house, the 71-acre tract, the creek frontage, the topography, and the flexibility that comes with a property that can work as a private retreat, recreational ranch, or long-hold land play in Burnet County.
The residence includes a custom stone exterior, stained concrete floors, granite counters, a double oven, and a JennAir cooktop. Outdoor living is a major part of the appeal. There is a swimming pool with a slide, a hot tub, and a hilltop setting that gives the property a true destination feel. The land supports the lifestyle buyers usually want from a Briggs farm-ranch: room to explore, space to host, and terrain that actually changes as you move across it. Deer, turkey, dove, and hogs are part of the landscape, which makes the hunting and wildlife profile stronger than a typical ranchette.
From a location standpoint, this stretch of US Highway 183 puts you in reach of Lampasas, Cedar Park, Leander, and northwest Austin. Campbells Branch Creek is a defining natural feature, and Highway 183 is the key access route that connects the property to major employment and retail growth farther south. That matters for owners who want rural privacy without giving up a realistic drive to city services, medical care, or airport connections through the Austin area.
The listing does not provide school district or campus assignments, so buyers should verify current attendance zones directly before making a decision. The property type is clearly the draw here: a large-acreage farm-ranch in Briggs with a substantial home, water feature, and room to use the land in ways that smaller tracts cannot match. After 453 days on market, the opportunity is still straightforward - buy scale, buy water, buy access, and hold a Burnet County asset that can serve both lifestyle and long-term value.
