Key Attributes
Location
The ranch is situated 4.8 miles east of Burnet, Texas, and is accessed by a private deeded and recorded surveyed easement on the south side of Highway 29. The 30-foot wide easement, about 2000 feet long, is well maintained by the owner.
Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
The property has a gentle roll with scattered oak groves on the eastern portion and thicker hardwoods and ash juniper on the western side, providing opportunities for hunting and recreation. Behind the house is an improved hay field, approximately 25 acres of Krum clay soils, which has produced good hay. The first cutting this year was 89 – 5X5 bales.
Wildlife
Rocky Top Ranch is home to diverse wildlife, including White-tailed Deer, turkey, and hogs. It also hosts various other desirable game species, such as doves and various small game. The offering includes four high-quality blinds.
Improvements
A thoughtfully designed home sits next to the lush hay field with a fantastic viewing deck on the second floor. The house is 1,685 sq. ft with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a built-out three-car garage with custom cabinets and an adjoining large bay for a boat barn. Next to the home is a large 5000 sq. ft shop with living quarters on the second floor. The main floor has six insulated doors on three sides for easy equipment access and large 14’ bay doors for tall RVs, tractors, and trailers. Upstairs is a 2-bedroom, one-bath apartment with a full kitchen and spectacular views of the property. Behind the equipment barn is the livestock barn, with ample space for several horses, and the riding area beside it, measuring 275 ft by 160 ft, is built to accommodate multiple types of riding/rodeo practices.
Water
The property has two water wells. The one next to the pond is 345 feet deep and has a yield of 25 GPM, drilled in July of 2021, according to the State of Texas Well Report. The second well was drilled in 2005, is 350 feet deep, and produces 20GPM per the State of Texas Well Report. The owners have also installed two rain catchment systems and water purification systems that run the home and barn for a good portion of the year, supplementing the well water. In a good year, the rainwater system accounts for 30-40% of the water usage on the property, with any excess water piped to the pond.
Electricity
Electricity has been installed for the home and barns. 3-meter loops on site.
