I own 83 acres in Live Oak County. I've navigated wildlife exemptions, built ponds, set up feeders, trapped hogs, and figured out what my land loan actually costs. Most online resources weren't built for Texas — and none were built by someone who's actually done this.
The County Road is where I put everything I've learned, in the format I wish I'd had when I started.
