Bastrop County - Mcdade, TX
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.

AREA HISTORY
The first Hill family in Bastrop County was in 1834, having moved from Alabama. Sometime after that Abram Wylie Hill bought half of Jenkins Prairie, a land grant award given to the Edward Jenkins family for their participation in the Texas Revolution. The property was renamed Hills Prairie and remains so to this date. Some of the Hills and the Yerger family moved to the Alum Creek area and opened a dry goods store about 1850. When the Taylor Bastrop and Houston Railroad came into what is now Smithville, the dry goods store was moved to Main Street in Smithville and the Yerger (father-in-law) and the Hill family (son-in-law) built a wonderful colonial-style home on a full city block in 1887. The home stayed in the Hill family through the youngest daughter, Ruth Hill Skelley until sold three years ago. The home at 401 Main Street has been completely rebuilt and is now one the the benchmark properties of the area.
About 1700 Spanish missionaries exploring the area discovered an oxbow lake that had been formed by the Colorado River in pre-historic times that the Indians of the area called Nenocadda. When the county was surveyed the grant belonged to the Grassmeyer family who built a river ferry very near the small lake. When the Hill family moved to town they bought parcels of property in the Colorado Valley that were contiguous. The land went from the north rim of the valley (known as Rocky Hill) to the southern rim (known as Flower Hill), all on the eastern side of Smithville. The family generally called the area north of the river Grandfathers Farm.
Sometime around the arrival of the railroad the Hill family built a dam at the northern end of the oxbow lake adding about four feet to the depth, now called Shipps Lake. An artesian well helped keep the water level more or less constant except in periods of extreme drought. That well could probably be developed again. Another artesian well was used to create a public swimming pool very close to the Highway 71 bridge over the railroad track. The Hill family had concerns about local children swimming in the river because of the turbidity and ever-shifting currents. The pool was leased to the Smithville Lions Club for $1 per year. The Highway 71 expansion required removal of the pool.
