Property Details

We're right to the post office, The Shack (restaurant by the local), and I have a mailbox. Nestled in the serene countryside of Purmela, TX, Terra Linda Ranch spans 11.263 acres of picturesque land featuring a large spring-fed pond full of water, fish, and turtles. The property currently holds a historical agricultural exemption and sits on the most coveted soil in Texas-known as "Black Gumbo," exceptional fertility and suitability for farming. Over the past year, the land has been cultivated with -20 varieties of native wildflowers and bluebonnets to attract pollinators and birds. Each October, the whole ranch blooms with milkweed for migrating Monarchs and welcomes hummingbirds and the rare Painted Bunting -one of North America's most sought-after birds. Situated in an Index 0 region for mesmerizing celestial events, the ranch offers unmatched, crystal-clear views of lunar eclipses and star-filled skies. Just 15 minutes from Gatesville, 30-35 minutes to Killeen, 35-40 minutes to Copperas Cove, and under an hour from Waco, Terra Linda Ranch provides peaceful rural living with quick access to city conveniences-the perfect escape that's not "too far out" with a spring-fed tank that never runs dry! Location: 405 County Road 96, Purmela, TX 76566 Note: Electricity and Water is available through viulti County Water Supply.
