About This Home
This versatile Hill Country property offers endless possibilities for ranching, recreation, business operations, equipment storage, multi-family living, or creating the ultimate homestead retreat with an easy commute to the Austin area and surrounding communities. The property features a well-designed setup with multiple large metal buildings, cross-fencing, cattle pens, water troughs, two working water wells, and septic already in place, making it ideal for agricultural use including cattle, goats, and sheep. Abundant hardwood trees, scenic views, and wide-open spaces create the perfect blend of functionality and Texas country living. Built in 2016, the main barndominium-style living area offers approximately 1,475 sqft of living space. Additional improvements include a massive 5,000 sqft metal building with five roll-up doors, a 3,750 sqft spray-foamed insulated metal building with a bathroom and four roll-up doors, and an additional 2,700 sqft metal building with three roll-up doors. Covered improvements include a 60x12 lean-to and a 60x16 RV-height covered lean-to, providing excellent storage for equipment, trailers, RVs, or livestock operations. Whether you are looking for a working ranch, recreational getaway, investment opportunity, business headquarters, or a property with future conversion potential into additional living spaces, this unrestricted-style setup offers incredible flexibility. Enjoy hunting, ranching, entertaining, or peaceful country living surrounded by beautiful hardwoods and panoramic Texas views. With extensive infrastructure already in place and the added benefit of two operational water wells, this property is well-equipped to support a wide range of agricultural, residential, and commercial uses.
Eighty acres of Hill Country land unfold across FM 2657 in Briggs, where the horizon stretches unbroken and the sky dominates the landscape. This is raw Texas terrain - heavy with hardwood trees, rolling gentle enough for cattle operations yet wild enough to feel genuinely remote. The property sits in Burnet County, far enough from Austin's sprawl to offer genuine solitude, yet close enough for the commute when needed. Two working water wells anchor the land, ensuring reliability regardless of seasonal shifts. The agricultural zoning means your only boundary is imagination.
The infrastructure transforms possibility into immediate function. A 5,000 square foot metal building with five roll-up doors sits ready for equipment, livestock operations, or whatever enterprise you envision. Behind it, a 3,750 square foot spray-foam insulated metal structure with a bathroom and four roll-up doors provides climate-controlled space. Another 2,700 square foot metal building adds further capacity. Two covered lean-tos - one 60x12 and another 60x16 at RV height - handle trailers, recreational vehicles, and seasonal storage. Cross-fencing and cattle pens are already installed. This isn't a property requiring infrastructure investment; it's a property ready for operation.
The main living space occupies 1,475 square feet within a barndominium-style structure built in 2014. One bedroom, one full bath, granite counters, an open floor plan, and spray-foam insulation keep the interior efficient and comfortable. Tile flooring handles high-traffic Hill Country living. Electric oven, 2-car garage, covered front porch, and a private yard provide residential essentials. The property includes septic and RV hookups already operational.
Lampasas ISD serves the property through Taylor Creek Elementary, Lampasas Middle School, and Lampasas High School. The school district covers this region of Burnet County with established infrastructure and rural community support.
This is the land as the primary asset. Whether you operate cattle, goats, and sheep; launch a business requiring substantial storage and equipment space; host weekend retreats surrounded by Texas hardwoods; or build additional residences on unrestricted acreage, the foundation already exists. The 1,475 square foot dwelling is shelter - necessary and well-built - but the eighty acres and their operational capability are what this property truly offers. At $2.20 million ($1,492 per square foot of house), you're purchasing land and infrastructure in a region where both command premium value. The freedom to operate, build, and expand defines life at 8845 FM 2657.
