DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the +/- 65 AC Sunset Springs Ranch, a truly exceptional offering in the heart of Williamson County. Combining rolling topography, abundant live water, quality improvements, and an unbeatable location, this ranch represents one of the most unique and desirable properties currently available in the Taylor market.
Featuring five ponds, three live springs, a custom-built residence, extensive ranch infrastructure, and direct access to the San Gabriel River corridor, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, recreation, and long-term investment potential.
