83.42 Acres in Milam County

This stunning 83.42-acre property is where unique terrain, recreational appeal, and long-term location value all come together. Situated directly on Highway 79, this ranch lies in the center of one of Central Texas’ fastest-growing corridors. The Highway 79 corridor continues to see tremendous growth and investment with major projects transforming the region, including Sandow Lakes Ranch, the massive Samsung development in Taylor, and continued expansion throughout the emerging Central Texas tech corridor. Positioned almost perfectly between the Austin/Taylor market and Bryan/College Station, this property offers both immediate convenience and strong future upside as growth continues pushing east along Highway 79.

Located just 1 hour from Austin/Round Rock, 30 minutes from Bryan/College Station, and approximately 45 minutes from the new Samsung site in Taylor, the property offers excellent accessibility with direct paved highway frontage — no rough dirt roads to contend with here.

The land itself is truly special and offers terrain rarely found in Milam County, especially on a tract of this size. The property features beautiful rolling topography with over 50 feet of elevation change from front to back. Several winding creek beds gently weave throughout the ranch, creating a landscape full of character, privacy, and scenic views. The elevated high point near the rear of the property provides sweeping views for miles to the northwest and southwest. Thanks to the rolling terrain, there are multiple exceptional homesites perfectly suited for a custom home, weekend retreat, or recreational ranch. There is ample room for a shop, barn, guest house, or additional improvements.

Approximately 40% of the ranch is wooded, while 60% remains open pasture and native terrain. Thick woods dominate much of the southern portion of the property, creating excellent wildlife habitat and natural privacy. Oaks, cedars, elms, and yaupon make up much of the native vegetation, while the ranch’s most unique feature may be the abundance of pine trees scattered throughout the property. Hundreds of pines ranging from young growth to towering mature trees over 50 feet tall create scenery and views not commonly found in this part of Texas.

The heavily wooded areas, water sources, and surrounding large neighboring landowners help create outstanding hunting and recreational opportunities. Deer, hogs, dove, varmints, songbirds, and other native wildlife are plentiful throughout the ranch. Four ponds are located on the property, including an approximately 1.5-acre pond with standing timber that offers excellent bass fishing and duck hunting potential while also supporting livestock and wildlife alike.

The property currently carries a coveted wildlife exemption, helping keep annual taxes around just $700 per year. Utilities are already in place with a water meter and power line on the property, along with two gated entrances. One entrance features a newer pipe entry that adds excellent curb appeal and creates an impressive entrance to your future ranch.
