Welcome to 490 John Craft Rd — a private, pine-studded paradise where rustic charm meets modern comfort. Located on a dead-end, paved county road for added privacy, the ranch is situated on over 77 fully fenced and cross-fenced acres yet provides convenient access back to the highway for your everyday needs. A 3,142 sq ft custom home offers peaceful living just 20 minutes to Bastrop and under an hour to downtown Austin. Whether you're seeking a serene homestead, equestrian property, or private retreat, this one-of-a-kind estate has it all.
Outdoors, the beauty of the land speaks for itself. This ranch is a natural paradise and wildlife habitat. Mature pine trees, native grasses, wildflowers, and a picturesque pond create a dreamlike natural landscape. Wildlife is abundant, and the ranch is loaded with turkey, Whitetail deer, hogs, and other creatures of all types. There is an ag exemption in place for low taxes.
The property also includes a large covered parking area, a barn/hangar with efficiency living quarters and a helicopter pad, horse stables, and a chicken coop—offering incredible versatility and self-sufficiency. The large 50 ft X 80 ft barn is incredibly well built and would likely cost $200,000+ to duplicate. It includes an additional concrete slab of 50 ft used by the previous Owner as a helipad.
The 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is a true Texas gem, featuring classic wraparound porches, a durable metal roof, and a welcoming stone exterior. Step inside to find soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, an impressive floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace, and an open floor plan flooded with natural light. The updated kitchen boasts painted cabinets, gleaming quartz countertops, a premium Wolf range, and plenty of space to gather and entertain.
The primary suite is located on the main level and offers private access to the deck—perfect for morning coffee while taking in views of the towering pines. The spa-inspired en-suite bath includes an oversized walk-in shower and dual vanities. Downstairs, you’ll find the secondary bedrooms along with a versatile bonus space ideal for a home gym or additional storage. All bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated for a clean, modern feel.
Whether you're riding horses, relaxing on the spacious deck, or exploring the acreage, this property fosters a deep connection with nature. It’s a place to slow down, breathe deep, and truly feel at home.
