255 Acres with Creek, Hunting Game, Water Well, Electricity, Hwy-County Rd Frontage in Burnet County, Lampasas, Texas

*Additional contiguous acreage is available totaling approximately 680 acres*   The Pillar Bluff Creek 255 Acre Ranch is located in north central Burnet County, 2 miles southwest of Lampasas. The property has approximately one mile of frontage along FM 1478 (Naruna Road). This is a prime location just outside of town yet a quaint rural area. This location is Lampasas’ proud home of two local wineries. The award-winning Texas Legato Winery joins the property along its east boundary. (A family-owned and operated winery. Legato means a gathering together of family or friends and is a musical term for smooth and connected notes or performance.) You can enjoy smooth, award-winning wines from Texas-grown grapes in the tasting room or on the patio overlooking the vineyard, a short walk from your own Hill Country ranch. Less than a quarter of a mile further east you will find the Pillar Bluff Vineyards. (A boutique family-owned winery, founded in 1999 as the 46th winery established in the state of Texas.)   Pillar Bluff Creek meanders through this ranch for approximately 1.2 miles. This is a seasonal creek but maintains holes of water year-round except during extreme dry periods. The actual historic Pillar Bluff is located on the ranch. There are several other unique and attractive rock formations along Pillar Bluff Creek, including Owl Bluff where a large cave-like hole has formed in the side of a cliff along the creek. The ranch has been operated in recent years for cattle production and hunting. The western portion of the ranch is gently sloping to more sloping along several tributaries that flow into Pillar Bluff Creek. The terrain offers excellent views of the surrounding countryside. The soils are Hensley series and are a reddish-brown clay loam, with a good turf of native grasses. This area of the ranch has moderate to heavy tree cover, including live oak, post oak, elm, hackberry, mesquite, and cedar trees. The eastern portion is more level with Oakalla silty clay loam soils. A portion of this area was in cultivation in the past with about 14 acres on the north side of the creek currently being used for hay production. Here the creek is lined with large live oak and pecan trees. The elevations across the ranch range from 1,100 feet along the creek on the east end to 1,200 feet above MSL in the western portion of the property.
