This 300-acre ranch, located approximately 17 minutes south of Bastrop and 15 minutes west of Smithville, offers wooded beauty and seclusion. The land features a diverse forest, comprising about 80% of the ranch, with species including post oak, black Jack oak, cedar, cedar elm, youpon, and old-growth loblolly pines. The remaining 20% consists of pastures planted with improved grasses suitable for grazing cattle or horses. The owner allows a neighbor to graze cows to maintain the agricultural exemption. Wildlife includes white-tailed deer, turkey, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, and dove. The ranch is adjacent to two larger ranches, providing over 2,000 acres of natural habitat buffer. The property includes two off-the-grid Hardi-plank cabins, each with two bedrooms and one bathroom totaling approximately 900 square feet. These cabins are powered by solar panels and utilize a rainfall collection system for non-potable water. Three ponds provide fishing and water sources for wildlife. A ravine offers the potential for creating a lake site, possibly up to 20 acres or three 3-acre sites, subject to soil testing. The ranch has elevation changes of up to 65 feet and a seasonal creek. ATV trails provide access throughout the terrain. The location is approximately 17 miles north of I-10, offering convenient access to Houston (100 miles) and San Antonio (70 miles). Austin Bergstrom Airport is 45 minutes away.
