Overview

§ 01

Some places invite you to slow down before you ever reach the gate. Tucked into New Ulm in Colorado County, this 29.5-acre retreat begins with a quarter-mile drive beneath beautiful clusters of trees and opens to a landscape with two ponds, a creek, wildlife and room to breathe. With a wildlife tax exemption, electricity and water well already in place, the property offers an easy escape—or the beginnings of a full-time country home—just minutes from Brenham, Round Top and Fayetteville. A cargo container with a continuous covered metal extension creates an unfussy gathering spot with party lights, shade and a brick fire pit nearby. The engineered well house is reinforced to double as a storm shelter. An RV will convey with an acceptable offer and terms; otherwise, it may be negotiated separately. Come for the acreage. Stay because somewhere along that quarter-mile drive, the rest of the world gets wonderfully far away.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
