About this home
Just 50 miles from downtown Austin TX the Austin Horse and Cattle Ranch is an exceptional 236.89 acre property set up for equestrian, cattle and enjoyment in mind. From the moment you come through the gate, it's clear the ranch has been thoughtfully developed with functionality and enjoyment in mind; whether that's working horses, running cattle, or simply having a place to spend time outdoors. The combination of usable land, solid improvements, and reliable water makes it a place that can be put to use right away while still offering long-term potential. LOCATION: The ranch is located just 50 miles from Austin, Texas and just south of Thorndale, TX in Milam County. It sits about 4 miles outside of town with approximately 1,165 feet of frontage along FM 486 and a private gated entrance. The location offers a quiet, rural setting while still being within reach of the booming Austin area, making it convenient for both full-time living and weekend use. TERRAIN: The ranch offers gently rolling topography and the house sits on the highest part of the property (546 ASL) offering mile-long views. Most of the acreage is in improved pasture, with scattered trees providing shade and cover. There are also pockets of thicker tree cover and low-lying wetland areas that break things up and add to the overall feel of the property. IMPROVEMENTS: The improvements are practical and well laid out for ranch life. The large, custom built main home is a two-story, approximately 4,400 square foot residence with three bedrooms, an additional bonus room that could be converted into a fourth bedroom, and three and a half bathrooms. The home also includes a second-floor game room with a half bath and a two-car garage. It features a stone exterior, metal roof, and a layout that works well for both everyday living and hosting family or guests. Step outside and unwind in a poolside setting designed for relaxation and enjoyment, with covered patios that offer the perfect place to lounge and take in the breathtaking views For the working side of the ranch, there is a large 7,840 sf horse barn with multiple stalls, along with a roping arena, cattle pens, four turnouts and additional pole barn. The property is fenced and cross-fenced which makes rotating cattle or horses easy. The ranch includes an established gravel road system that leads you up to the house and around barns. In addition, the property also offers a Generac Generator located just off the north end of the house. WATER: Water is provided by Southwest Milam Water Supply Corporation. In addition, there are four tanks and two wetland ponds spread across the property and support both livestock and wildlife while also adding to the overall look and feel of the ranch. WILDLIFE: The mix of pasture, water, and cover supports a steady presence of native wildlife, including whitetail deer, dove, and hogs. Whether hunting or just enjoying the land, there's plenty of activity year-round. MINERALS: Seller will convey owned mineral rights. Buyer to verify....
