Welcome to Beyond the City Limits

Beyond the City Limits is the Top Notch Properties blog about land and rural real estate in East Williamson and Milam Counties: Taylor, Thorndale, Thrall, Granger, Coupland, Hutto, Rockdale and the county roads in between.

What we write about

  • Buying land. Wells, septic, fences, surveys and easements, explained in plain language.
  • Our towns. The history and the market in the small towns around Taylor, with dated listing counts and the public sources behind them.
  • Farm and ranch life. The practical side of owning and working rural property here.
