Land for Sale in McDade, Texas

Open Ranch February 13th from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM and February 14th from 12:00 PM-4:00 PM. No showings prior to February 13th as trails are currently being cleared; contact agent for Google Maps pin. Offered at approximately $8,600 per acre for 52.214 acres, based on current active listings, this property represents the lowest price per acre for land under 200 acres currently on the market within an hour of Austin. Located just 12 minutes from Bastrop with approximately 1,000 feet of paved road frontage on FM 2336, this heavily wooded, fully fenced ranch is loaded with native wildlife including whitetail deer, ducks, wild hogs, turkeys, and native predators, delivering excellent access, privacy, and long-term usability. A large pond currently measures approximately 0.5 acre but expands to over 1.5 acres in prime conditions and is fed by multiple natural gullies, offering exceptional potential to expand the pond footprint to over 4 acres. The property is currently ag-exempt, resulting in property taxes of approximately $35 per year. No subdivision or commercial allowed; these use parameters were established at the request of Camp Swift to prevent future large-scale development across the street from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, while still allowing all standard agricultural, ranching, homestead, hunting, wildlife management, and agricultural-commercial uses, including the ability to build up to two homes, and any number of barns and other agriculture-related buildings are not prevented by these parameters. The land does not sit in the Houston Toad habitat area, a common development constraint in the area. A cell tower is located along the road frontage and, due to mature tree cover, is not visible from many of the best build sites throughout the property.
