Located just southwest of Briggs in northeast Burnet County, the Chimney Ranch is a conveniently located Hill Country property with a balanced mix of scenery, recreation, agriculture and usability. Rolling terrain, long views, scattered trees, and a well-positioned pond create an attractive landscape, while subtle touches of ranch history add character. Positioned for future development and offering easy access via RM 243, this land is ideally suited for a future homestead, recreational retreat, grazing livestock or potential development opportunity.
LOCATION: Situated in the northeast quadrant of Burnet County, the ranch lies just southwest of Briggs, Texas, with access off RM 243.
Cedar Park – 30 mins Austin – 54 mins San Antonio – 2 hrs Dallas – 3 hrs.
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT: The ranch features a gentle, rolling terrain with a slight incline toward the back, providing excellent southwesterly views. Most areas consist of open pastures dotted with scattered ash junipers. Near the front, mature hardwoods create an ideal gathering spot for friends and family, highlighted by a charming old homestead fireplace as the focal point of this area.
WILDLIFE: The Chimney Ranch is home to white-tailed deer, feral hogs, turkey, dove, and various varmints and non-game species—offering year-round hunting opportunities.
IMPROVEMENTS: The ranch has a set of working pens and a couple outbuildings. WATER: Located at the center of the property, there is approximately 1.9-acre pond. It is carefully positioned to gather runoff from the upper fields by using the natural topography, making the most of each rainfall. An old windmill well exists on the ranch. Additionally, a secluded spring in the woods creates a clear pool that flows over rocks into a creek bed, shaded by large hardwood trees.
ELECTRICITY: An electric service line and meter are located toward the front of the property.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
Downtown Austin runs from the Colorado River north to the Capitol, bounded by I-35 to the east and Lamar to the west. It is the densest residential market in Central Texas with high-rise condos, historic lofts, and luxury towers concentrated in distinct sub-districts. The Seaholm District anchors the west end with the Seaholm Residences and the new Google tower reshaping the skyline. Rainey Street sits along the lake's north shore - what was a street of bungalow bars is now flanked by 40-story residential towers including 70 Rainey and The Lakeshore. The Warehouse District between 3rd and 6th Streets draws buyers who want walkable nightlife and restaurant access. Congress Avenue bisects downtown and remains the civic spine connecting the Capitol to the lake. The Austonian (56 floors), The Independent (58 floors), and 360 Condominiums are the marquee towers. Newer projects like Sixth & Guadalupe and The Republic continue adding inventory. Price points range from $400K studio condos to $5M+ penthouses with lake and Hill Country views. Walk Score averages 95+. The MetroRail Red Line stops at downtown station. Major employers including the State of Texas, UT Austin, and a growing tech presence (Google, Meta, Apple satellite offices) generate consistent housing demand. Nightlife, dining, live music, and Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail are all within walking distance. Buyers here are typically professionals, empty nesters downsizing from suburban estates, investors, and out-of-state relocations drawn to Austin's urban core. HOA fees range from $400/month in older buildings to $2,000+ in full-service towers. Most buildings include concierge, pool, fitness center, and secure parking.
