About This Home

Escape the hustle and embrace the simplicity of true Texas country living. This charming single-family homestead sits on nearly 4 acres of cross-fenced property fronting a county road — offering privacy, functionality, and that wide-open Texas feel you’ve been searching for. Inside, 1,860 square feet of thoughtfully designed single-story living welcomes you with a spacious open floor plan, with ceiling fans throughout. The eat-in kitchen is a true centerpiece — open to the family room, featuring a breakfast bar and gleaming granite countertops. A dedicated home office or a fourth bedroom provides a quiet, light-filled workspace, and the split bedroom floor plan ensures privacy for everyone. The inside laundry room comes fully equipped with washer and dryer included. Step outside and discover your own private retreat. Sip your morning coffee on the patio as the Texas sun rises or gather around a built-in fire pit and grill for unforgettable evenings under the stars. Horses, goats, and cattle are welcome — the property is fully set up for livestock, large garage or workshop on a concrete slab, and multiple storage sheds. Mature trees for shade. 4 Bed | 2 Bath | Home Office | 3.98 Acres | Cross Fenced Horses, Goats & Cattle Welcome | Barn | Livestock Shelter No HOA | Outside City Limits | Septic | Central HVAC | Gonzales ISD Schedule your private showing today
