About 8010 Christian Cemetery Road
Swap out stop-and-go traffic for tailgate vibes and wide-open skies at The Verner Farm, a 60± acre Washington County escape about 45 minutes from Kyle Field and roughly an hour and a half from both Houston and Austin. This is the kind of place where you roll in on a Friday night, crank up the grill, and actually see the stars.
Mornings start slow here—coffee on the back patio, then a quick walk past the hardwoods and open pasture down to the private fishing tank to wet a line. Whether you’re teaching a little one how to cast or sneaking in a quiet hour before kickoff in College Station, the rhythm out here feels a lot more like Aggieland than the Beltway.
The land itself is classic Washington County: gently rolling terrain with a mix of mature trees, open grass, and a creek forming the northwest boundary, giving you privacy and pretty views in every direction. An agricultural exemption is already in place, so you get the ranch feel and lower taxes without having to start from scratch on the setup.
At the center of the property is a 3,056 sqft farmhouse built in 1986 with great bones, ready for a full update to match your style—think game-day headquarters, multi-family retreat, or future forever home in the country. A vintage bunkhouse and a solid pole barn add room for guests, toys, projects, and all the gear that never quite fits in a city garage.
Surface use is all about enjoying the land, with minerals retained by the seller so you can focus on what you’re really buying: a private place to unplug, fish, grill, and gather with your people between Houston, Austin, and Texas A&M. If you’ve been looking for a true weekend place with a fishing tank, ag exemption, and easy game-day access, The Verner Farm checks every box.
