Ten acres of pure backyard potential along Highway 281 in Johnson City makes this property the rare find where neighbors can actually be far enough away that your BBQ smoke stays in your own airspace. The main house sits on 1,500 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, built in 2003 and recently updated with a new HVAC system that keeps things comfortable through Texas summers and winters. The real story here isn't the house though - it's what surrounds it.

This is the property where the neighborhood gathers because you have the space to actually gather. A fully fenced and cross-fenced ten acres means kids can run without a leash, which is exactly what a backyard is supposed to enable. There's a roping pen and horse barn with a tack room if anyone in the family has equestrian ambitions, but even without that, ten acres is a sandbox for anything you can dream up. A fire pit becomes a proper gathering spot when you're not worried about neighbors' windows. The hot tubs mean soaking under stars without feeling like you're on display.

The property includes a separate one-bedroom guest house that pulls double duty as an Airbnb and weekend retreat, giving you that escape hatch when family visits get long. An automatic entry gate adds security without the feel of a fortress. There's a greenhouse for the gardener types, a large carport for the truck, storage sheds for the tools, and RV hookups if traveling by motorhome is part of your lifestyle. The property has its own water well and two septic systems, plus new water lines throughout the acreage - meaning you're genuinely self-sufficient out here.

Johnson City ISD schools serve the property, with students attending Lyndon B Johnson for elementary through high school. The agricultural exemption status on the land means the tax structure reflects its rural character, which matters when you're carrying ten acres. At $949,000 for roughly 1,500 square feet of main house living space, that's $633 per square foot for a property where the real value lives outdoors.

This is the house where people ask if they can come back next weekend. It's where the neighborhood remembers what actual space feels like.
