This 54.865-acre ranch at 1880 FM 2571 in Smithville, Texas is a genuine weekend escape where you actually own the land to play on. Bastrop County's film corridor location puts you between two charming downtowns, but out here you're far enough away that what happens on your property stays on your property.
The ranch sits fully fenced along FM 2571 and Tiner Cutoff with direct road access that works for truck traffic, ATV trails, or hauling equipment. North of the main tract, Cedar Creek forms a natural boundary that adds both privacy and water access for fishing or just listening to moving water in the quiet. A water tank already installed means you're ready to support livestock, wildlife management, or basic ranch operations from day one. The property carries an agricultural exemption, which keeps your annual Bastrop County taxes manageable for this size holding.
This is the kind of land where you can set up for hunting season without explaining yourself to neighbors. Run ATVs on your own trails. Let kids ride horses without worrying about traffic. Fish Cedar Creek when the mood hits. The fully-fenced perimeter means you control access completely, and the acreage gives you real separation from the subdivisions creeping in elsewhere.
Smithville ISD covers the property, with Smithville Elementary, Smithville Middle, and Smithville High School serving the district. Your family has solid schools without moving to a city zip code. The commute to Austin's tech corridor hits around 45 minutes depending on your destination, making this workable for people who need flexibility rather than daily in-office time.
Historic Downtown Smithville sits just minutes away with local restaurants and antique shops for when you want civilization. Historic Downtown Bastrop handles bigger shopping and entertainment needs while preserving its 19th-century character. You get access to both without the traffic that comes with suburban sprawl.
The ranch hit the market recently and sits priced at 1.23 million dollars, which for 54.865 acres of fenced, improved property with utilities and water infrastructure already in place represents solid value in Bastrop County's growing real estate market. This isn't speculation land or a someday project. It's ready now for someone who wants their own private playground where the biggest decision each weekend is whether to fish, ride, hunt, or just sit on the back porch and own the quiet.
