A rare chance to own a true Burton landmark. Situated on 1.26 acres in the center of town and within easy walking distance of Burton schools, this versatile commercial property offers exceptional visibility, generous space, and a rich local legacy dating back to 1954. The offering includes two well-known local buildings, The Short Stop and The Ice House, offered as a blank canvas—ready for a new owner to revive the existing concepts, launch something entirely new, or reimagine the space.
The Ice House features a tavern setup, stage, outdoor seating, and a playscape, making it well suited for private event rentals as well as public concerts and gatherings. The Short Stop, a long-standing Burton staple known historically as a meat market, grocery store, and feed store, offers a flexible footprint in a high-visibility location. Additional highlights include two water meters, existing gas tanks and pumps, and versatile space suited for continued commercial use or expansion.
This property offers a unique blend of history, functionality, and future potential—perfect for an investor, entrepreneur, or anyone looking to carry forward a beloved Burton institution with deep community roots spanning more than 70 years. A standout opportunity in one of the most charming small towns in Texas.
