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 with old-growth loblolly pines. Miles of ATV trails provide access throughout the terrain. The property is about 17 miles north of I-10, offering access to Houston (100 miles) and San Antonio (70 miles). Austin Bergstrom Airport is 45 minutes away. The ranch supports Texas wildlife, including white-tailed deer, turkey, wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, and dove, and is adjacent to over 2,000 acres of additional habitat. Approximately 80% of the ranch is wooded, with post oak, black jack oak, cedar, cedar elm, and youpon trees. Pastures, comprising about 20% of the ranch, are planted with improved grasses suitable for cattle or horses. The neighbor currently grazes cows to maintain the agricultural exemption. Improvements include two off-the-grid Hardi-plank cabins, each with two bedrooms and one bathroom totaling approximately 900 square feet. Power is supplied by solar panels, and a rainfall collection system provides non-potable water. Three ponds offer fishing and water sources for wildlife. A ravine offers the potential for a lake site, which could be up to 20 acres or accommodate three 3-acre sites, pending soil tests. The ranch features elevation changes of up to 65 feet and a seasonal creek. The location near Bastrop and proximity to Austin suggest potential appreciation. The property allows for hunting, fishing, and recreation.
