Briggs, TX

Tucked into the rolling farmland of northeastern Burnet County, Briggs is a tiny, quiet community with deep rural roots and wide-open skies. Life out here moves at an easy country pace, surrounded by working ranches and winding creeks about an hour north of Austin. While the area originally grew around cotton farming in the late 1800s, today it is also home to Firefly Aerospace's Rocket Ranch, where engineers build and test rockets right among the pastures. For anyone seeking true peace and privacy, it offers classic Hill Country solitude with an intriguing modern edge.
