About this home

The rush will soon be on so hurry or you may miss this opportunity to own a little piece of heaven just 11 miles from Round Top. The acreage has a nice privacy barrier all around it, with new fencing on 2 sides and older fencing on the south side. It has been selectively cleared to show off the mature oaks scattered throughout and is ready for your custom home. Electric is in place, along with a well and small metal barn and carport. Mertz Rd is a quiet dead-end country road with a few attractive homes and some gorgeous century live oaks. This tract is down a lane off of Mertz Rd for the ultimate hideaway. If you're looking for peace and quiet, and a place with NO light pollution, this is for you. And if you'd like more acreage, take a look at the adjoining 14.7 acres, listing 145928, at 5088 Mertz. Light restrictions to protect property values.
