D Bar D Ranch - Livewater Creek and Stone Home!

D Bar D Ranch Burnet County 93 +/- Acres There are ranches. Then there are ranches with live water. Live water in Central Texas isn't an amenity. It is a finite resource that gets more rare every single year. Ranches with genuine, year-round flowing creeks appreciate in a category separate from dry land. The D Bar D Ranch has over 2,700 feet of both sides of clear flowing live water creek frontage. The D Bar D feels larger than the acreage because of the limestone ridges rising to Hill Country views, the creek pulling you around bend after bend, and the dense canopy of hardwoods closing in overhead. This ranch has character, plain and simple. It includes big diversity front to back with creek bottoms, fertile coastal fields, elevated ridgelines, and ancient pecan groves. The property sits just under 35 minutes from Cedar Park, 6 miles from Bertram, and 11 miles from Liberty Hill, with 4,150 feet of frontage along paved South Ranch Road 1174 giving you clean, reliable access every single day regardless of weather. The creek at the D Bar D runs right through the heart of the property. It meanders in a way that maximizes your experience of it from multiple vantage points across the ranch, with over 2,700 linear feet of frontage lining both banks. Along those banks, towering post oaks, Spanish oaks, live oaks, elms, and pecans form a thick canopy overhead. A natural waterfall drops below an older homesite on the property, and the entire creek runs over a limestone floor. Pressed permanently into that limestone is a confirmed legitimate dinosaur footprint. The southern portion of the ranch is dominated by massive, deep-rooted pecan groves that have been growing on this land for generations. These are legacy trees. Combined with the fertile, deep coastal fields capable of producing serious hay or virtually any crop you could want, the southern end of this ranch is a landscape with depth, history, and character. Higher limestone ridges climb above it all and open up into sweeping Hill Country views that remind you exactly why people have always wanted to own land out here. The two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath stone house possesses loads of character. Earthy terra cotta style Spanish tile sets the tone the moment you walk in into the kitchen. Hardwood floors run through the living room, a wood-burning stove anchors the space for cooler nights, and the open concept layout breathes in a way that makes the house feel larger than it is. Granite-style countertops with a long-extended bar and seating make it the kind of kitchen where people naturally gather. Out front is a covered porch shaded by a towering hardwood canopy. Out back is a porch with a direct, unobstructed view of the live water creek below. This home has been operating as a short-term rental with consistent, proven bookings. In a market where STR performance lives and dies by the experience a property delivers, this one has a natural and nearly unfair advantagelive water, hardwood canopy, Hill Country setting, and a stone house with genuine soul. Nearby the stone house is a classic red barn on a slab with high ceilings and generous storage. The entire property runs on private well water. The Cedar Park / Liberty Hill / Bertram area is undergoing one of the most significant commercial expansions in the Austin area right now. A brand-new Costco is open at the 183 and Hwy 29 junction, and the largest Target in the United States is being built at the same corridor. The D Bar D Ranch gives you the rare and increasingly impossible combination of genuine Hill Country ranch character, live water, and a quick drive to amenities. Minerals: See Broker.
