Matern Mesa

Description

+- 154 acres just north of Marble Falls in southern Burnet County. There is roughly 100 feet of elevation change across the property with scenic long-range Hill Country views from the top of the mesa. Two wet weather creeks traverse the property creating a small floodplain area. Both creeks run into Backbone Creek. Numerous oak, elm, mesquite, and cedar trees cover the property creating a very remote feel even though you are close to town. A recently reworked water well provides water for livestock and wildlife. The well is drilled into the hickory sandstone aquifer and is relatively shallow at only 80 feet. PEC single-phase power is run to the well and a 3-phase line is on the property near CR 120. The sandy loam soil provides for good grazing grass. A local rancher runs cows on the property which maintains the 1-D-1 Ag appraisal keeping the property taxes low. The 1-D-1 could be converted to a wildlife appraisal if a new owner does not want cattle on the property. The property is approximately 6.5 miles north of downtown Marble Falls (only ~1.5 miles to the city limits, and 2,000 feet to the Marble Falls CCN). ~55 miles to downtown Austin. The property includes over 1300 feet of frontage on County Road 120. Potential uses include recreation, homesite, and development. Seller plans to reserve mineral rights.
