Created for those who value space and architectural presence, it offers room to live - and room to breathe. The main level centers around a dramatic great room with soaring wood-wrapped vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a wall of stacked windows framing uninterrupted forest views. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space, while light pours in from every angle. Beneath the same sculptural ceiling line, the dining area glows under a classic candelabra chandelier, balancing rustic texture with modern refinement. The kitchen is designed for connection: an oversized island with seating, porcelain countertops, statement pendants, custom vent hood, contemporary cabinetry with floating shelving, and high-end stainless appliances - all seamlessly open to the living area. Privately positioned on the main floor, the primary suite captures long-distance views and features vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, frameless glass shower, dual vanity, designer tile, and a custom walk-in closet. A secondary main-level bedroom with adjacent full bath adds flexibility. Both open onto the entertainer’s covered balcony. Downstairs, a second living area opens to a covered patio and level lawn. A fully outfitted theater with surround sound, included media equipment, and tiered seating delivers a true cinematic experience. Three additional bedrooms offer thoughtful bath access for comfort and privacy.

The moment you turn onto Tall Forest Drive in Pine Forest Unit 10, the density of mature oaks and pines parts to reveal a custom-built architectural statement sitting commanding across 2.023 acres of private wooded land. This 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence spans 4,063 square feet and closed in 2022 at $1.29 million ($319 per square foot), offering the rare combination of architectural drama and genuine privacy just minutes from Bastrop and Highway 71.

The main level centers on a great room designed to impress. Soaring vaulted ceilings wrapped in exposed wood beams create immediate vertical drama, while a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace commands the space. Bank windows frame uninterrupted forest views across the entire wooded lot. The dining area sits under the same sculptural ceiling line, anchored by a classic candelabra chandelier that balances the home's rustic timber elements with deliberate contemporary refinement. Recessed lighting and natural light from multiple angles eliminate any sense of enclosure.

The kitchen demands attention. A custom oversized island with seating anchors an open floor plan that flows seamlessly to the great room. Quartz countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, a custom range hood, and contemporary cabinetry with floating shelving create a workspace designed for connection rather than confinement. The full pantry and built-in sound system elevate daily function into something more intentional.

The primary suite claims its own wing on the main floor, capturing long-distance views through vaulted ceilings. A spa-inspired bathroom features a soaking tub, frameless glass shower, double vanity, and designer tile. The walk-in closet provides serious storage. A second main-level bedroom with full bath adds flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Both bedrooms access a covered entertainer's balcony overlooking the property.

Downstairs, three additional bedrooms provide separation and privacy. The theater room is fully outfitted with surround sound, included media equipment, and tiered seating. A second living area opens directly to a covered patio and level lawn backed by dense woodland.

The irrigated landscape wraps the level usable yard with professional plantings and mature trees, creating natural seclusion without neighbors in sight. Bastrop ISD serves the property through Emile Elementary, Riverside Middle, and Bastrop High School. With no HOA, a 1.69 tax rate, and direct Highway 71 access, this home delivers both retreat and proximity. Five minutes to downtown Bastrop, thirty minutes to Downtown Austin.
