The possibilities are endless on this gated 10.685 acre property featuring a (60'x100'/6,000 sqft) Barndominium with 2 RV connections, new HVAC installed 8/2021, (18'x19'/342 sqft) workshop, (36'x60'/2,160 sqft) 6 horse stable with full bath, pasture irrigation system and a pond. Beautifully landscaped with a stunning view of the scenic pasture. There is a hidden room and a study. Luxurious kitchen (SS appliances) and bathroom (dual shower heads) includes custom cabinets and granite countertops. Primary closet is completely finished with cedar. This unique property is one of a kind!

Ten and a half acres rolling through McDade in Bastrop County, where Highway 290 E cuts through open landscape and the horizon stretches without apology. This is the kind of land that makes you understand why people choose rural Texas - not for convenience, but for something deeper. The property sits gated and private, removed from the noise but connected to the reality of what matters: space, sky, and the ability to build a life that actually fits.

The main residence is a 2,800 square foot barndominium completed in 2005, positioned as a shelter within this vast acreage rather than its defining feature. Four bedrooms, granite countertops running through a kitchen with island, cedar-lined primary closet, and a hidden study create functional living space for a family or someone building something bigger. New HVAC installed in 2021 keeps the main structure reliable. Two-car garage handles the basics.

But the real infrastructure is outside. An 18-by-19-foot workshop gives you space to work, tinker, or create. A 36-by-60-foot stable with full bath and room for six horses anchors the agricultural capability. Dual RV hookups mean guests or extended family can stay without compromising your space. A pasture irrigation system keeps the landscaped grounds productive year-round. A pond sits on the property - water management and wildlife habitat built in.

McDade ISD serves this area with all three grades operating in the McDade campus, keeping school logistics simple for families. The commute to Austin's major employers runs reasonable for those who work flexible schedules or need a rural base. Downtown Austin is under an hour when necessary. The property's price per square foot hits $285, reflecting rural Bastrop County value.

This is land-first living. The house functions well enough, but the story here is acreage, privacy, agricultural infrastructure, and the freedom that comes with owning enough space to do what you actually want to do. Whether you're horse people, workshop people, or someone who just needs trees and quiet and room to breathe, the land delivers what highway 290 E can't reach from either direction.
