About This Home

Set on 8.44 private acres in Cedar Creek, this homestead is built for buyers who want land that works as hard as they do.

Inside, the 2,037-square-foot main home has been freshly refreshed with new hardwood flooring, paint, and a refinished bathtub and shower, all wrapped in an open floor plan that flows out to decks overlooking gardens, mature trees, and a seasonal pond that welcomes songbirds and wildlife nearly year-round. A separate garage apartment has 543 square feet with its own bedroom, bath, and newer appliances, adds real flexibility: a guest suite, a home office, or a source of rental income. Just 10 minutes to downtown Bastrop and 30 minutes to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, this property offers the rare combination of genuine country privacy and easy access to city amenities, dining, and travel.
