Nearly 80 acres positioned at the intersection of Texas ranch land and a rapidly evolving technology corridor. Welcome to Taylor Ridge Estates—big Texas views, room to roam, abundant wildlife, and a location with intriguing long-term potential.
Spanning both Taylor and Jones Counties, this expansive tract offers country living with convenient access to Abilene. The property is fully enclosed with pipe and wire fencing and features a solar-powered electric gate, providing a secure, established setup for current cattle use and future possibilities. A water meter is already in place.
Cattle pasture, hunting, abundant wildlife, and nearly 80 acres of open space make this property ideal for ranching, recreation, a private country retreat, future homesite, or land investment. Hunting is permitted.
Taylor Ridge Estates offers deed-restricted acreage without an HOA or requirement to build. The restrictions are designed to help preserve the character and value of the community while allowing owners the freedom and privacy of country living.
Strategic Location. Long-Term Potential. The property is near significant emerging technology and infrastructure investment in the Abilene area, including a new AI data-center development, adding an intriguing dimension to its long-term investment story.
The deed restrictions have a 25-year initial term beginning January 1, 2019, with a 75% vote of affected property owners required to discontinue or amend them thereafter. This provides meaningful protections today while creating an element of long-term land-use optionality.
Nearly 80 acres. Two counties. Pipe and wire fencing. Solar electric gate. Water meter. Cattle pasture. Abundant wildlife. Hunting allowed. No HOA. No requirement to build.
Land you can use today while keeping an eye on tomorrow.
