The iron gates at the entrance to 4771 County Road 473 open onto nearly 20 acres of professionally maintained grounds that function as a private park, complete with mature trees exceeding 40 feet and manicured pastures stretching across the Elgin subdivision in Elgin. The long driveway, lined with cedar posts and horse-wire fencing, creates a deliberate transition from public road to private sanctuary, ending at a 1,600 square foot residence built in 2009 that commands views across the property's carefully managed landscape.
The grounds themselves tell the story of thoughtful stewardship. Cross-fenced sections with goat and hog wire divide the land for livestock management while maintaining visual flow. Two stocked ponds - one with catfish and bass, the other with hybrid bluegill - anchor the property's recreation value. A high-fenced garden area with chicken coop and two storage structures supports active homesteading. The real utility arrives via a 2,400 square foot shop with 14x14 rolling doors, 220-volt service, air compression plumbing, and climate control - built for serious work or hobbies. A separate pole barn houses water storage, feed room, and concrete pad.
The residence itself sits on level terrain with mature hardwoods providing natural shade. The open-concept interior features high ceilings throughout the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and recently remodeled bathroom. A secondary bedroom, dedicated office space, guest bathroom, and oversized laundry room complete the sleeping and service areas. The front deck runs the length of the home; a rear patio provides outdoor living space. Standard ceiling fans, a kitchen island, and modern appliances keep the home functional and comfortable.
The location delivers dual benefits: genuine country living with proximity to economic growth. The Samsung plant near Taylor sits just 15 minutes away. Elgin proper and Taylor are quick drives. Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown connect within 45 minutes. The property operates under agricultural exemption with wildlife exemption currently submitted to Williamson County, qualifying for favorable tax treatment. Water comes from a full filtered cistern system with county water available as backup. Thrall ISD serves the property.
At $799,000 or $499 per square foot, this is rural acreage with serious infrastructure, not raw land requiring decades of development. The combination of fenced land, functional outbuildings, stocked ponds, and a renovation-ready house creates immediate options for equestrian operations, hobby farming, or simple retreat from suburban noise. This is where privacy meets preparedness.
