534 Old McDade RD, Elgin, TX 78621

Welcome to 534 Old McDade Road, a one-of-a-kind property offering over six beautiful acres of unrestricted Texas countryside within Elgin city limits. Thoughtfully designed for those seeking space, privacy, and flexibility, this property easily lends itself to opportunities for hobby farming, livestock, multi-generational living, creative pursuits, or income-producing ventures.

The land is a rare blend of open pasture, mature trees, and usable acreage, providing room for livestock, gardens, recreational vehicles or simply enjoying the peaceful rural setting. A two-story, 1,400-square-foot workshop offers space for equipment storage, woodworking, automotive projects, agricultural operations, or conversion into a office or rental space.

Adding even more value is a charming Victorian house ready for restoration.

Inside the custom residence, locally sourced Central Texas materials and thoughtful architectural details create a warm, light-filled environment. Expansive motorized windows and doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living while maximizing natural airflow and energy efficiency. Ten-foot ceilings, pecan wood accents, built-in speakers, and abundant natural light create a welcoming atmosphere for entertaining and everyday comfort. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with direct access to a spa-inspired outdoor bathing area featuring an open-air soaking tub and shower. Upstairs, a dramatic catwalk lined with built-in bookshelves overlooks the living spaces below, while secondary bedrooms feature independent HVAC systems.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the property offers possibilities for multi-generational living, homesteading, hobby farming, creative endeavors, or a quieter pace of life. Whether you're dreaming of a small ranch, family compound, artist's sanctuary, or private country escape, 534 Old McDade Road delivers a rare combination of acreage, improvements, and architectural character.

Six and a third acres of unbroken Texas countryside in Elgin, Texas delivers the kind of spaciousness that changes how you live. Old McDade Road stretches through Bastrop County where the land still feels like land, and 534 Old McDade sits on acreage that gives you genuine separation from neighbors while keeping you within city limits and on public maintained roads. The horizon here is real - open pasture, mature trees spread across the property, and enough sky to remind you why people move to the country in the first place.

The land is what you notice first. Six acres of usable acreage means livestock, gardens, RV parking, or simply the freedom to breathe. The property sits unrestricted, which matters. Split the parcel if you want. Build again if you choose. Keep horses, goats, or chickens without negotiating covenants. Plant native Texas trees and let them grow. The feeling is less suburb and more actual countryside, yet you're still within Elgin ISD and minutes from Elgin High School, Booker T Washington Elementary, and Elgin Middle School.

What emerges from this land is architectural intent. The 2019 custom residence spans 1,808 square feet across three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath, built with concrete and frame construction, spray foam insulation, and HardiPlank siding. Ten-foot ceilings and vaulted spaces create volume inside. Motorized windows and glass doors erase the boundary between indoors and the acreage beyond, letting natural light and airflow do the work. The primary suite anchors the main floor with access to a spa-like outdoor soaking tub. Pecan woodwork, open floorplan, and a catwalk lined with built-in bookshelves upstairs give the space architectural character.

But the land provides the real infrastructure. A two-story workshop spanning 1,400 square feet handles equipment, vehicles, or creative work. Gray water systems and RV hookups acknowledge serious rural living. The kitchen runs Gas cooktop and double ovens, ENERGY STAR appliances throughout, wine refrigeration, and a wine cooler. Smart home wiring and a smart thermostat manage this efficiently. Outdoor living wraps the structure - screened and covered porches, patios, rear porch deck space, and a barbecue area designed for gathering.

At $799,000, that's $442 per square foot for the residence on land that appreciates differently than subdivided lots. Elgin has grown steadily - the kind of Austin spillover that rewards property owners who bought acreage before the exodus accelerated. The property sits zero days on market because this combination is uncommon: genuine acreage, modern construction, agricultural flexibility, and proximity to schools and county infrastructure.

This is the land you buy when you're ready to stop compromising on space.
