About This Home
This unique property boasts three homes strategically positioned for privacy and convenience on nearly 50 acres in a beautiful country setting. The homestead sits just off a paved county road and has high speed fiber internet. Enjoy remote country living while still having access to city amenities and shopping. The town of Smithville is less than a 15 minute drive, and Bastrop is approximately 20 miles away. The Austin international airport is less than a 45 mile drive via Hwy 71. Round Top, well known for antiques and entertainment, is just a short distance, making this a valuable investment opportunity. The main house constructed in 2023 showcases a typical hill country exterior of limestone blocks, wood beams, and wrap around porches. The interior is a modern blend of hard wood floors, open living concept with period style bathrooms and mud room. All rooms have an ample number of windows allowing for natural light and views of the surrounding natural beauty. The second home is a two bed/two bath rustic style cabin with log and mortar exterior and metal roofing. The interiors are a beautiful blend of cedar and pine with log beams and vaulted ceilings. A gated entrance off the main road makes it ideal for producing income via long term or short-term rentals, or as a guest residence for family and friends. The bunk house is an upstairs/downstairs layout featuring the same cedar and pine interior. The downstairs is a one bedroom with kitchenette and full bath. The upstairs loft is a very large room with a half bath, and small balcony. All the homes are fenced separately from the pasture and wooded areas. The diverse wildlife allows you to hunt on the property, or simply sit back and enjoy the wonderful abundant variety of animals year-round. The property currently has cattle which provides income and an agricultural exemption for tax relief. The cattle pens, equipment, tractors and implements for maintaining the land and cattle can be included.
