About This Home
Looking for something unique! Beautiful Custom Log Cabin home surrounded by eight acres of gorgeous trees and land. Stunning views embracing peacefulness and tranquility. Home is built very sturdy with eco friendly savings on electricity. Can harbor big family gatherings or small and intimate moments. A unique beauty, a must see. Come walk the private trails of your property and enjoy nature again.
At 1843 FM 969 in Elgin subdivision, Elgin, you're buying 8.142 acres of private sanctuary in Bastrop County - rare acreage so close to Austin that actually delivers the seclusion most people only imagine. This 1,951 square foot cedar construction home, built in 2018, sits on land where your family can expand without neighbors appearing in your peripheral vision.
The three-bedroom, two-bath layout works because it respects the property, not the other way around. Tile flooring throughout keeps maintenance simple while the home's 431 per square foot valuation reflects realistic Elgin pricing, not inflated Hill Country resort rates. The 2-car garage means both vehicles stay protected. Ceiling fans and high ceilings handle the Texas heat without forcing you into a utility bill shock that comes with larger homes in tighter lots.
Security here is structural and geographic. The cedar construction isn't just a design choice - it's built to last through decades of weather. The private entrance means your property has genuine boundaries. Your backyard isn't someone else's view. The greenbelt designation protecting this area in Bastrop County means your acreage won't be hemmed in by future development. That matters when peace of mind factors into your daily life.
Elgin ISD schools serve the property, with Elgin Elementary, Elgin Middle, and Elgin High forming the district backbone. The community has real roots - not the transient feel of hot Austin suburbs where neighbors rotate every two years.
The home naturally accommodates how people actually live. Big family gatherings work on eight acres. Intimate dinners on the front porch work equally well. Walk your private trails and remember why you wanted land in the first place. The eco-friendly construction delivers lower electricity costs than newer standard builds - a practical benefit that compounds annually.
At 840,000 dollars on 8.142 acres, this property sits in the genuine countryside while maintaining reasonable distance to Austin's employers and amenities. You're not camping. You're not commuting two hours daily. You're anchored on real land with real structure, watching your family settle into the rhythm of rural Texas life without sacrificing the stability of a modern home.
