Hill Country Farmstead
Nestled on nearly 50 private acres in the rolling countryside of Smithville, this exceptional Texas ranch offers a rare combination of luxury living, income potential, agricultural productivity, and recreational enjoyment. Featuring three separate residences thoughtfully positioned for privacy, this property is ideally suited for multi-generational living, a family compound, corporate retreat, investment property, or working ranch operation.
Despite its secluded setting, the property provides the modern conveniences today's buyers demand, including high-speed fiber internet, reliable electric service, weekly trash pickup, and easy access from a paved county road. Enjoy the peace and freedom of country living without sacrificing convenience. Downtown Smithville is less than 15 minutes away, Bastrop is approximately 20 miles away, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport can be reached in under an hour via Highway 71. The property's location also benefits from its proximity to Round Top, creating additional opportunities for short-term rental income and event-related lodging.
Built in 2023, the custom main residence blends timeless Texas Hill Country architecture with modern comfort. Limestone accents, exposed wood beams, and expansive wraparound porches create an inviting exterior, while the interior features hardwood flooring, oversized living spaces, abundant natural light, and an open-concept design ideal for entertaining. Large windows throughout the home frame picturesque views of the surrounding landscape, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside.
A second residence, constructed in 2014, offers excellent flexibility as a guest home, income-producing rental, or private quarters for extended family. This charming two-bedroom, two-bath cabin features a log-and-mortar exterior, metal roof, vaulted ceilings, exposed log beams, and warm cedar and pine finishes throughout. With its own gated entrance and separate utilities, the cabin is well-positioned for long-term or short-term rental opportunities.
The property's third residence includes a versatile bunkhouse connected to a substantial workshop and barn. The lower level offers a private one-bedroom suite complete with kitchenette and full bath, while the spacious upstairs loft includes a half bath and balcony. This flexible space is ideal for guests, ranch staff, hobby space, home office use, or additional rental accommodations.
Designed with both functionality and enjoyment in mind, the ranch includes separately fenced residential areas, productive pastureland, wooded acreage, cattle facilities, and abundant wildlife habitat. Whether your interests include cattle operations, hunting, horseback riding, recreation, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the land, this property offers endless possibilities. The current cattle operation provides agricultural tax valuation benefits, and buyers may have the flexibility to transition the exemption to other qualifying agricultural uses if desired.
For those seeking a turnkey ranch investment, cattle equipment, tractors, implements, and related ranch infrastructure may be available with the sale.
Properties offering this combination of privacy, modern infrastructure, multiple residences, agricultural value, recreational opportunities, and proximity to Austin are increasingly difficult to find. This is a unique opportunity to own a legacy property that can be enjoyed today while offering exceptional long-term value and income potential.
