After nearly eight decades of ownership, the family behind one of Texas’ most celebrated brands is selling its Hill Country ranch<\/a> for nearly $11 million.<\/p>\n

The Baird family \u2014 known for Mrs. Baird\u2019s Bread \u2014 has owned the ranch since 1951.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Baird\u2019s Bread was founded in 1908 in Fort Worth by Ninia Lilla \u201cNinnie\u201d Baird. The brand grew into one of the nation\u2019s largest family-owned bakeries before being acquired by Mexico City-based Grupo Bimbo in 1998.<\/p>\n

The ranch spans 762 acres and includes about 3,900 feet of creek frontage and more than 260 feet of elevation change.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaird Ranch is one of those rare properties that still feels untouched by time. The live water, incredible\u00a0elevation, and a location this close to Austin is almost impossible to find at this price point,\u201d said Louie\u00a0Swope, listing broker and owner of West and Swope Ranches<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a true legacy ranch in every sense of\u00a0the word.\u201d<\/p>\n

The property includes three residences \u2014 a main ranch house, a foreman\u2019s cabin and guest quarters \u2014 along with a barn and multiple outbuildings. The main house, built in the 1950s, features cherry wood-paneled walls and Saltillo tile floors.<\/p>\n

Utilities are in place, and three water wells serve the property. Perimeter and cross fencing are also installed.<\/p>\n

The ranch is suited for activities such as swimming, hiking, fishing, hunting and trail riding. Pedernales Falls State Park is about three miles away.<\/p>\n

The property is located near Johnson City, about 20 miles west of Dripping Springs, 48 miles west of Austin and 69 miles north of San Antonio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After nearly eight decades of ownership, the family behind one of Texas’ most celebrated brands is selling its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,80457],"class_list":["post-240237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-julianna"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
