PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Some places have a way of making you slow down and appreciate the simple things. This is one of them. Set among the rolling hills of Central Texas, this beautiful 17± acre property in Purmela offers wide-open spaces, sweeping countryside views, spectacular sunsets, and a peaceful setting that feels a world away from the demands of everyday life. Held within the same family lineage since the 1800s, this land has been part of generations of Texas history. Today, it offers an opportunity for someone new to put down roots, build a home, and create memories of their own. With elevated homesite possibilities, native grasslands, mature trees, and frontage on both FM 1241 and County Road 96, the property offers an appealing balance of natural beauty, accessibility, and versatility. Whether you're looking for a place to build your forever home, establish a small homestead, enjoy a weekend retreat, or simply own a beautiful piece of Texas countryside, this land offers room to make it your own.
THE LAND
The property features gently rolling terrain, open native grasslands, and scattered mature trees that add character to the landscape without obstructing the expansive countryside views. Elevations reach approximately 1,120 feet, with the highest ground near the center of the tract. This natural rise creates an inviting location for a homesite where you can enjoy the surrounding scenery and watch the sun settle over the Texas countryside. With plenty of open space for barns, grazing, gardens, or a few animals, the land offers the flexibility to enjoy a rural lifestyle without the demands of managing a large ranch. Three sides of the perimeter are fenced, with fencing needed along the northern boundary. The property currently carries an agricultural valuation for property tax purposes.
WILDLIFE & OUTDOOR LIVING
One of the special qualities of this property is the wildlife and natural beauty found throughout the surrounding countryside. White-tailed deer and wild turkey are common in the area, while migratory birds, hummingbirds, and brilliant painted buntings make this a wonderful setting for birdwatching. Monarch butterflies add another touch of seasonal beauty as they pass through Central Texas. Imagine mornings spent watching wildlife move across the pasture, afternoons enjoying the open countryside, and evenings gathered outside as the sky fills with the colors of a Texas sunset. With dark night skies, limited traffic, and the quiet that comes with rural living, this is the kind of place where the outdoors becomes part of everyday life.
HOMESITE & IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The elevated terrain and accessible road frontage provide attractive opportunities for a custom country home, barndominium, or weekend getaway. The deed restrictions also allow new manufactured or modular homes on permanent foundations, along with one primary residence and one guest or secondary dwelling per tract. The mostly open landscape provides ample space for barns, livestock, gardens, and other improvements consistent with the property's residential and agricultural use restrictions. Whether your plans are simple or something more elaborate, this property provides a beautiful starting point.
WATER & UTILITIES
A water meter is available through Multi County Water, with the seller offering a $5,000 credit at closing toward water meter installation. Electrical infrastructure is located nearby, offering buyers the opportunity to coordinate future electrical service.
AGRICULTURAL VALUATION
The property currently benefits from an agricultural valuation for property tax purposes. Its native grasslands and open terrain offer opportunities for grazing and other permitted agricultural uses, making it an attractive option for buyers interested in combining country living with a manageable agricultural property. Continued agricultural valuation is subject to applicable eligibility and use requirements.
ADDITIONAL ACREAGE OPPORTUNITY
For buyers seeking additional space, an adjoining 27± acre tract is also available, offering the opportunity to purchase approximately 44 acres in total.
