A true adult playground sits 45 minutes northeast of Austin on US Highway 79 in Gause, Texas. This 29.82-acre property at 13541 E US Hwy 79 delivers what most weekend warriors spend years searching for: improved pasture, a modern home, and land built for activity.

The 2019 construction is the foundation. Four bedrooms and two full baths span 2,432 square feet of thoughtfully designed space. The open-concept kitchen and dining area centers on a large island with stone counters, flanked by an oversized pantry and breakfast bar. Vaulted ceilings and built-in features create that rare balance between comfort and functionality. Energy Star appliances, a smart thermostat, and spray foam insulation mean the home runs efficiently even during Texas summer heat. A sauna sits ready for recovery after long days outdoors.

Outside is where the property reveals its purpose. The land rolls naturally, with mature trees - some exceeding 40 feet - scattered across open pasture. Rolling topography creates varied terrain. Cross-fencing divides the acreage into manageable sections. A pond anchors the property, fed by natural water movement across the slopes. A barn sits ready for equipment, horses, or whatever recreational pursuits drive your weekend plans. The property is fenced throughout, secure for animals or vehicles.

Gause sits in Milam County ISD territory, served by Gause Elementary, Gause Middle, and Milano High School. The location is approximately 45 minutes to Austin and Bryan, placing you close enough for weekday work while far enough removed to genuinely escape. US Highway 79 frontage opens possibilities beyond recreation - a small business, guest ranch operation, or agritourism venture could work here.

The terrain supports hunting, fishing, ATV trails, or horseback riding across your own land. Kids learn real responsibility working cattle or maintaining pasture. Adults find solitude in morning quiet or exhilaration in afternoon riding. Winter and spring bring the best weather - cooler temperatures, fewer insects, trails dried out.

At $999,000 ($411 per square foot), the pricing reflects what acreage, privacy, and a newer home command in rural Texas. Properties this size with structures don't last long. Gause, Texas on 29 acres gives you the escape hatch Austin professionals actually use.
