Description

Discover this rustic rural retreat on scenic FM 1296 (a paved road) near Waelder, TX. This 13.5-acre gem is just 60 miles from Austin and 120 miles from Houston with plenty of open pasture and the rare freedom of no restrictions - perfect for weekend get-aways or as an active homestead. It is surrounded by beautiful large neighboring properties and stargazing in the area is breathtaking with very little light pollution. There is a rustic 919 SF, 1 bed, 1 bath country-style cottage near the front of the property, but don't let the "rustic" charm fool you—it was remodeled in 2007 with comfort, longevity and efficiency in mind. The remodel included durable Hardie board siding and updated electrical and plumbing systems (insulated PEX). The walls and ceiling are insulated and the roof has a radiant-barrier. Features include a fenced yard and wood decking for enjoying the sunset before the stargazing begins. Inside, enjoy the combined living/kitchen area with touches like solid pine wood flooring and cedar accented walls and trim. The remodel included updated appliances (electric range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave), and a 40-gal electric water heater. Washer and dryer hookups are ready and waiting. The bath room includes a working Jacuzzi-style tub. Minerals are available. Seller would consider leasing back a portion of the grazing pasture for agriculture use, including hay production and ag tax exemption. Call to schedule an appointment today!
