Located just southwest of Briggs in northeast Burnet County, the Chimney Ranch is a conveniently located Hill Country property with a balanced mix of scenery, recreation, agriculture and usability. Rolling terrain, long views, scattered trees, and a well-positioned pond create an attractive landscape, while subtle touches of ranch history add character. Positioned for future development and offering easy access via RM 243, this land is ideally suited for a future homestead, recreational retreat, grazing livestock or potential development opportunity. LOCATION: Situated in the northeast quadrant of Burnet County, the ranch lies just southwest of Briggs, Texas, with access off RM 243. Cedar Park – 30 mins Austin – 54 mins San Antonio – 2 hrs Dallas – 3 hrs. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT: The ranch features a gentle, rolling terrain with a slight incline toward the back, providing excellent southwesterly views. Most areas consist of open pastures dotted with scattered ash junipers. Near the front, mature hardwoods create an ideal gathering spot for friends and family, highlighted by a charming old homestead fireplace as the focal point of this area. WILDLIFE: The Chimney Ranch is home to white-tailed deer, feral hogs, turkey, dove, and various varmints and non-game species—offering year-round hunting opportunities. IMPROVEMENTS: The ranch has a set of working pens and a couple outbuildings. WATER: Located at the center of the property, there is approximately 1.9-acre pond. It is carefully positioned to gather runoff from the upper fields by using the natural topography, making the most of each rainfall. An old windmill well exists on the ranch. Additionally, a secluded spring in the woods creates a clear pool that flows over rocks into a creek bed, shaded by large hardwood trees. ELECTRICITY: An electric service line and meter are located toward the front of the property.
