large acreage in the hill country

[Trainwreck20]

Well, take whatever they say with a grain of salt (or sand, whatever ) until you see it. The little experience I have with large acreage geared toward subdividing is that some fraction of it is not suitable (flood plain or terrain), so while you can sell some subdivided acreage at a profit, the rest is unsellable. If you plan to just keep it intact, ofc, that is not as big an issue. Also, 'rolling hills' might be elevation changes of 10 feet, you have to go out there and take a look. Betram is not Willow City when it comes to hills, typically.

Google topo is pretty useful. It just skimmed it but it looks like they have elevation changes of about 30-40 feet. Not huge, but not tiny either. Im looking for more like 400 acres so the tract is too small, however 2500/acre is what im talking about.

ok, lands of texas is a good site to find acreage. You can search by region which helps to narrow things down. I found a handful of properties in the 1500/acre range -3000 acre range.
