The Pecan Bayou river is the main contributor to Lake Brownwood. This 56 acre tract has approximately 900’ along the eastern bank of the river, which is the West boundary of the property. Traveling by river, the distance is about 5 miles until you reach lake Brownwood. The East boundary fronts, paved county road 411 and this is where you will access the property by gate and over cattle guard. This front section is fenced for cattle and in fair condition and totals about 15 acres. The North property boundary is fenced but in poor condition along with some other interior fencing exists but again, they are in poor condition. The Southern boundary is identified by steel T posts painted yellow. The neighbor has some livestock that frequently comes to this part of the property so it would need fencing if you wanted to prevent that in the future. The entire property is under wildlife exemption and so raising livestock or farming is not necessary in order to maintain lower property taxes. The current taxes are just under $200 per year, even with the slab and homesite improvements.
The current owner lives on site in a travel trailer and has for almost 8 years now. There is electricity running back to the pad site that was put in place with plans to build a small barndominium. This would be perfect to complete for permanant living or a hunters cabin. The living area of the slab is set up for 1200 sq ft and the workshop/barn/garage area is set up at 3000 sq ft for a total slab area of 4200 sq ft. The current owner hauls his own drinking water, there is no well and or public water supply available. You could drill your own well, set up a water collection or you also have the right to pump water from the river for all domestic use. The river water can be filtered for drinking and household use. The property has not been hunted over the last 8 years but the owner regularly feeds the deer like pets.
Good elevations on the property. Lots of hardwood trees along with several varieties of less desirable trees and brush for wildlife habitat. Traveling from the pad site for the barndo, you quickly descend as you head for the river. You will first cross a wet weather creek that fills and backs up during flooding events. There could be times you could be prevented from accessing the bottom half of the property closer to the river due to when the creek is up and blocks road access. These events are rare and short lived. Lots of tall trees on the bottom half that would be perfect for tree stands. This area should also make for excellent turkey, hog and varmint hunting. Some beautiful rock outcroppings are exposed as the terrain makes drastic changes in heights. You might even find a cave? There is a lot of exploring to be done!
Directions: From Early Texas, take hwy 183 North toward Cisco for about 12 miles until you reach FM 2273 and turn left. Then travel about 8 miles until the road becomes county road 411. continue on for about one mile and look for sign and gate on you left.
