Description

21.46± ACRES | BIG SKY RANCH | SMITHVILLE, TEXAS

ARCHITECTURAL TIMBER FRAME, WATER, AND PRIVACY JUST MINUTES FROM AUSTIN
Located within the gated Big Sky Ranch community just south of Smithville, this 21.46± acre tract combines usable land, water features, and a one-of-a-kind timber-frame structure that sets it apart from typical Central Texas acreage. With proximity to Austin, Bastrop, and Smithville, the property offers both convenience and seclusion in a highly desirable corridor.

IMPROVEMENTS
At the heart of the property is a Roman basilica-inspired pole barn constructed with massive Bastrop County yellow pine timbers set deep in concrete and anchored to a heavy-duty slab. The structure features clerestory-style design that brings in natural light and creates an open, architectural feel rarely found in ranch improvements. Ideal for a workshop, event space, barndominium conversion, or weekend gathering place.

A well-appointed utility setup includes a water well, filtered water system, and an insulated, air-conditioned well house. The well house is fenced and configured for secure storage, pets, or equipment use.

LAND & WATER
The property offers a diverse mix of open pasture, scattered hardwoods, and wooded creek corridors. A pond near the front of the property enhances the entry and provides year-round visual appeal and wildlife attraction.

A wet weather creek runs along the rear boundary, adding natural privacy and supporting native wildlife movement. Multiple potential homesites are available throughout the tract, allowing flexibility for future improvements or layout design.

LOCATION
This property is positioned in a strong growth corridor with excellent access to Central Texas destinations:

* Approximately 7 minutes to Smithville
* Approximately 20 minutes to Bastrop
