FAIRBANKS ACRES
PROPERTY TAXES: $3,581.58 in 2025 (104 acres receiving Ag Exemption) DESCRIPTION: Here is your perfect country get-away already set up and waiting for you and your family to enjoy. It is located about 11 miles north of Richland Springs or about 32 miles south of Brownwood on a county maintained all-weather road a short distance from paved FM Hwy. 500. The county road borders the property on the north and west sides and surrounded by large low-fenced ranches. Traffic is very light on the county road adding to the peace and serenity of the ranch. Native trees of oak, pecan, elm, hackberry, and mesquite make up the majority of the tree cover along with native brush—very little cedar. The heavy tree cover is broken by small open areas and larger grassy meadows providing the right habitat for wildlife and livestock. This is a very pretty ranch that seems much larger than the 106 acres advertised. IMPROVEMENTS: Set back a nice distance from the county road is a custom-built cabin that is comfortable to live in now but has not been totally finished. Construction of the cabin was begun in 2005 as the seller’s second home but still needs sheetrock and floor coverings to be complete. The open floor plan downstairs consists of great room/kitchen, laundry/utility room and full bathroom encompassing approximately 1152 sq ft plus another 36’ x 10’ ft enclosed sun porch on the east side. Upstairs is about 512 sq ft used as a large bedroom with adjoining ½ bath. The space could easily be divided into smaller bedrooms. Dormer windows let in the natural light and an awesome view of the Chain of Shiloh Hills to the west. Low doors open to areas under the eaves for extra storage space. Both the upstairs and downstairs are heated and cooled with mini-split systems. Much of the furnishings, including the washer and dryer, will convey with the property. The cabin is regularly professionally treated for insects and pests. Damage to the north sides of the house and shop/garage received during the great hailstorm in 2018 is evident. The metal roof on the house was replaced after that storm. A large area around the house shaded by ancient mesquite trees has been fenced to enclose pets and children. Just outside the yard fence is an approximately 1100 sf shop/garage that was built about 2011. It has a concrete floor, built-in work bench, 2 roll-up overhead doors, electricity and water plumbed in. A covered porch on one end is open on 2 sides and fitted out with water and a rack to hang and clean deer after a successful hunt. WATER: Water for the house and livestock troughs is from a water well located just east of the house. The well was converted from a windmill well already in use prior to the seller’s ownership to an electric pump and motor system. There are 2 surface tanks (ponds) on the property, the larger tank has never gone dry even during the drought years. TOPOGRAPHY: The rolling terrain provides surprising elevation changes making the ranch feel much bigger than 105 acres. Large hardwood trees and dense areas of brush, native grass and wildflowers not only provide aesthetically pleasing views but provide habitat to attract wildlife. Many years ago, part of the land was terraced which gives rainwater the chance to soak into the ground rather than run off quickly which causes erosion. WILDLIFE: Excellent hunting opportunities for white tail deer and the occasional axis deer as well as wild turkeys, white wing doves and feral hogs. Unknown numbers of birds call this ranch home along with the usual varmints that live in Central Texas. This ranch offers great hunting and is already set up with 2 deluxe hunting blinds equipped with propane heaters and cushioned seating plus another smaller hunting blind and 2 feeders. However you like to enjoy the outdoors, this ranch has everything you need-- for a home in the country, a good place to raise children and run livestock, a private hunting ranch, and so much more.
