About the Property

Conveniently located between Houston and Austin, this property is the ideal spot to get away from the hubbub of busy city life. Enter the property via a beautiful wood-lined entrance. There is a cleared homesite at the highest point on the property with various walking trails, two ponds stocked with fish, and pastures for other livestock. It's surrounded by large parcels of privately held land.

This breathtaking piece of land located at 5959 Highway 105 is the ideal escape from the city. The sale comes with bees and hive boxes to maintain the current agricultural tax exemption.

This property has an existing agricultural exemption for bees.

Keeping bees is one of the easiest and most space-efficient means to preserve an agricultural tax exemption. The hives themselves take up very little space and can be segregated to almost any part of the property. Not sure if you know how to become a beekeeper? No problem. The experts at the historic BeeWeaver Farm are a great reference to either educate you or to help as a resource for all things bee! Leaving you and your family free to just enjoy the tax benefits, fall in love with the land, and watch the property appreciate.

Do you want to learn more about the folks at BeeWeaver?  Located just 20 minutes from the property, BeeWeaver Farm was established in 1888 and now, five generations later, the farm is still in full operation, honing their craft of creating delicious honey and honey products. Seven years ago, they opened a retail beekeeping supply store and gift shop at their headquarters and added a Bee Deck so guests can participate in live hive tours and see inside a beehive. In 2020, WildFlyer Mead opened their tasting room onsite and there are also glamping tents, RV campsites, and a converted loft to rent for onsite stays at the farm. With this full operation, the team at BeeWeaver is passionate about sharing their love of bees and beekeeping with people.   

Taking care of bees is an easy way to help the environment. They are pollinators that play a vital part in the ecosystem, supporting the growth of trees, flowers, and other plants, which serve as food and shelter for creatures of all sizes.  Even if you don’t want to take care of the bees on this property, that’s okay. Take advantage of the low taxes of having the bee boxes on your land and then contact BeeWeaver for local contacts that provide hive management services, so they can tend to tend to the bees for you.

There’s no doubt about it: this land is buzzing with adventures waiting to be fulfilled.
