The northern and southern parcels are separated by the paved Burnet County Road 223. Northern Parcel (177 Acres) Featuring 177 acres of fields and tree covered bottom land stretching along nearly 1.5 miles of the Lampasas River; the northern parcel presents an excellent opportunity as a cattle grazing operation with multiple pastures with water access and a thoughtfully designed water distribution system. Working pens, a well, traps, a barn, and a vintage hunting cabin further enhance the utility of the ranch as a cattle operation and hay production property.

Comprised of two pastures and a well that feeds a watering distribution system, and open meadows on the broad steps of the terraced terrain, the southern parcel of the ranch is ready made for ranchers, and/or hunters.
