Hill Country Hideaway: 20 Acres of Natural Beauty and Endless Possibilities.Tucked away in the heart of the Texas Hill Country lies a serene 20-acre retreat that's equal parts rustic charm and quiet potential. With gently rolling terrain, mature oak trees, and a peaceful draw that meanders through the middle of the property, this land feels like a scene straight out of a postcard. The draw possibly could be dammed to create a small pond—adding to the already picturesque landscape. The land is well-covered with native grasses, including Indian grass, and features a variety of tree species that provide excellent shade and habitat. It borders a large, untouched ranch, making it an exceptional spot for hunting or simply enjoying the wildlife and seclusion that such a neighbor offers. A cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath home sits nestled among the trees, offering 1,461 square feet of open-concept living space. Concrete floors flow throughout the home, with touches of wood flooring adding warmth and character. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are seamlessly connected, creating a comfortable and inviting environment whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening. Step outside and you'll find more than just nature—this property is thoughtfully equipped with a metal barn, multiple outbuildings, and a deer-proof fenced garden area, ideal for growing fruit trees or flowers without interference from local wildlife. While the water well is not currently connected to electricity, the seller has implemented a practical rainwater collection system with seven 750-gallon storage tanks. A large attached workshop and storage area offer plenty of room for hobbies, tools, or creative projects. And at night, the real magic happens: relax on the front patio under a sky full of stars and the soft glow of moonlight, miles away from the city lights. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a hunting haven, or a place to live a quieter, more self-sufficient lifestyle, this Hill Country gem delivers the beauty and opportunity to make it your own.
