Mountain Creek Ranch

Description

This is a great opportunity to purchase a turnkey recreational property near the Balcones Canyonlands just north of Austin, TX.  This 20-acre Hill Country property is fenced and includes a furnished cabin, four-bay carport w/small workshop, water well, septic, and electricity.  It is located in the large-acreage Mountain Creek Ranch subdivision.  The cabin comes complete with current furnishings and is move-in ready. This small acreage subdivision was created in the 1980s and it is rare to get an opportunity to purchase two contiguous 10-acre tracts, especially with the included improvements.  The property is perfect for a weekend getaway or live in the cabin while building your forever home.  The ranch is surrounded by the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. Located just 7 miles north of Lake Travis, east of Marble Falls, west of Lago Vista, and just on the southeastern edge of Burnet County.  The area is well known for its spectacular Hill Country views and scenic countryside and this property has it all.  The Mountain Creek Ranch Subdivision is managed by a property owners association and some restrictions protect all property owners. Includes over 1400 feet of frontage on Mountain Creek Road and over 800 feet of frontage on County Road 328 (Cow Creek Road).

There is roughly 60 feet of elevation change across the property with the cabin and best building sites at the highest elevation.  The cedar trees have been well managed and there is a nice mixture of open space and trees.  The property drains into the well-known live water Cow Creek not far away.  The terrain, in general, is rough, rocky, and dramatic. The soil supports native oak, elm, juniper, and mesquite trees as well as native grasses and other native vegetation. Wildlife includes whitetail deer, coyotes, turkeys, mourning doves, and many other native wildlife species. The property is currently used as a recreational getaway. 

IMPROVEMENTS - 682 sqft cabin built in 2005, water well, electric, and septic.  Four-bay carport with small workshop. The cabin includes a living area, a complete kitchen, and 1 bedroom/1 bath, and includes furnishings. Completely fenced, cross-fenced, and ready for horses, goats, or maybe a longhorn or two. There is a great potential homesite near the cabin with long-range views across the property.

LOCATION – From the property entrance gate, 0.28 miles to Cow Creek Road, 6 miles to Lake Travis, 13 miles to Bertram, 15 miles to Liberty Hill, 17 miles to Lago Vista, and 18 miles to Marble Falls. It is only 50 miles to downtown Austin and 56 miles to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
