3 bed, 2 bath, 1,855 sqft on 30.80 acres in Rockdale. Rockdale, TX 76567. $1,250,000. Rockdale ISD.
About This Home
Situated on approximately 30 acres, this property offers a blend of rural living with convenient access to nearby amenities. The property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home suitable for everyday living, with recent updates including replaced flooring, new windows throughout, a recently replaced roof, fresh interior paint, and a lightly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Designed with livestock and horse use in mind, the property includes an arena and a barn with four horse stalls, along with a tack/feed room. The land is cross-fenced with multiple pastures/traps to accommodate livestock management. Several tanks/ponds are located on the property and may be used for recreational purposes. Coastal grass is present, providing potential grazing opportunities.
At 1016 County Road 306 in Rockdale, this 30.8-acre property delivers genuine independence with the comfort upgrades that make rural living practical. The brick home spans 1,855 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, recently updated with new windows, a replaced roof, fresh interior paint, and a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. At $674 per square foot, the pricing reflects the land value and self-sufficiency infrastructure that defines this holding.
The property's power lies in its systems design. Multiple tanks and ponds across the rolling acreage support both livestock operations and water independence. The cross-fenced pastures and coastal grass establish grazing zones for cattle or horses, while the dedicated four-stall barn with tack and feed room creates the infrastructure for equestrian management. The covered front and rear porches extend living space for monitoring operations or simply sitting with the landscape. A two-car garage provides equipment storage.
This is land built for self-directed agriculture. The arena allows horse training or recreational riding without leaving the property. Owners can manage cattle, horses, or mixed livestock across the multiple pasture traps without compromise. The pond systems serve dual purposes: livestock water sources and potential recreation. Coastal grass coverage means lower maintenance while supporting grazing without constant fertilization inputs.
Location matters here too. Rockdale, the county seat of Milam County, sits roughly 60 miles northeast of Austin with direct access via US Highway 79. Children attend Rockdale ISD schools, with elementary, middle, and high school all bearing the district name. The position between Waco and Austin means property owners maintain rural isolation while avoiding complete remoteness.
What separates this from generic rural acreage is the recent renovation work. The new roof, windows, and interior updates mean you're not inheriting deferred maintenance. The kitchen and bathroom remodels suggest someone has already thought through modern living standards. The tile and vinyl flooring handles dirt and dust from agricultural work while being easy to maintain.
For buyers seeking genuine self-sufficiency without sacrificing comfort, this property offers a rare combination. You own the systems, control the land use, and operate independently. The infrastructure is already installed. After 35 years since construction, the updates confirm this land remains valuable and maintainable.
