Incredible 10-acre Brazos River frontage just off Buster Chatham Rd in Waco! This is one of the most scenic and navigable stretches of the longest river system in Texas. With the right setup, you could boat all the way to Baylor’s McLane Stadium or dock at Slow Rise Pizza—making this one of the most recreationally unique stretches of riverfront in Central Texas. Hardwood trees line the private driveway, opening up to towering cottonwoods near the water’s edge. The river here is postcard-perfect and remains calm thanks to the sheltering banks and trees, making it ideal for skiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, or just floating. A large custom shop sits well out of the floodplain and includes three oversized bays and one XL bay perfect for RV storage. Inside, a two-story living space offers the perfect setup for weekend getaways or full-time use. The interior features epoxy-coated concrete floors, granite countertops, abundant cabinet storage, and two spacious bathrooms—each with large showers and dual vanities. The upstairs bathroom also includes a walk-in closet. Two staircases—an interior spiral and a wide exterior staircase—make access and furniture moving a breeze. Power is run throughout the shop, along with strategically placed air lines. The soil on this tract is incredibly fertile, a byproduct of the Brazos River basin’s rich sediment, supporting lush grasses and native trees. If gardening is your thing, the potential here is unmatched. Whether you’re a local looking for a private recreational haven, a Baylor alum wanting to boat into town, or someone seeking a rare riverfront estate to build your dream home—this property is truly a must-see. Just 10–15 minutes to downtown Waco and Baylor. Call for a private tour.
