At 2936 FM 1704 in Towering Oaks Estates, this 3,622-square-foot residence sits on 16.029 acres in Elgin, Texas, offering the rare combination of thoughtful architectural design and genuine utility for a working property. Built in 2008 and extensively upgraded, the home demonstrates a clear design philosophy: maintain clean lines and open spaces while creating distinct zones for living, entertaining, and work.

The material palette reflects this restraint. Tile flooring eliminates carpet throughout, creating visual continuity and ease of maintenance across multiple living areas. Granite countertops anchor the chef's kitchen, where commercial-grade stainless steel appliances including double ovens and a built-in gas range support serious cooking. Stone work appears in the floor-to-ceiling fireplace on the rear patio and in the frame-and-stone construction itself. Wood cabinetry and crown molding provide warmth without excess ornamentation. The result is a home that prioritizes durability and function over surface decoration.

The layout separates public from private with intention. Two primary suites mean guests have genuine privacy, while the main suite positioned at the rear of the home removes everyday life from sight lines. The ensuite bath includes a dual vanity, dressing vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and high ceilings throughout maximize the sense of space across the open floorplan with multiple dining and living areas. A dedicated home office with built-in desk and bookshelves serves residents who work remotely.

The property's true character emerges in its infrastructure. An 11-car garage with lift capability, 4-stall barn, 500-square-foot casita with full bath, and workshop create a complete working compound. Solar panels with 100% annualized coverage, a full-house generator, automatic sprinklers, two stock ponds with fountain, cattle pens, chicken coop, and a treehouse demonstrate practical stewardship of the land. New AC units installed in 2022, a new front gate in May 2024, and an asphalt driveway add reliability.

Located 15 miles from Tesla's Gigafactory and under 40 minutes to downtown Austin via FM 1704, residents access both rural tranquility and professional opportunity. Elgin ISD serves the property, with Booker T Washington Elementary, Elgin Middle School, and Elgin High School serving the area. The in-ground pool, spa, covered patio, and gazebo define this as a destination property for families seeking working acreage with serious entertaining capability. At $469 per square foot, the scale and infrastructure justify the investment for buyers who value land, not just house.
