604 Oakwood Dr, Buda, TX 78610

If you want a renovated home on usable land with privacy, flexibility, and income potential, this one is worth your attention. The property sits on a cleared, manicured lot with mature oaks and cedar elms, giving you a quiet setting less than 10 minutes from Downtown Buda and about 30 minutes from Downtown Austin and ABIA. Everything here has been done already. No projects, no surprises.

The main home has been updated throughout and offers 4 full bedrooms or 3 bedrooms plus a dedicated front office. Flooring is all tile, no carpet anywhere, and every countertop has been upgraded to quartz. The primary suite includes 2 large closets and a spa-level bathroom with a deep soaking tub set under windows facing the backyard and a fully tiled walk-in shower. A perfect, relaxing setup for melting away stress.

The detached casita has been fully refinished and functions like a true second residence. It includes a large living area, a full kitchen, and two oversized bedrooms all with stained concrete floors. It’s perfect for guests, in-laws, generational living, or short-term rental income. And because the entire property qualifies for STR use, you have options most acreage homes don’t offer.

Outside, the land has been fully cleared, groomed, and fenced. A heavy steel automatic gate secures the entrance. Set back from the house, an outdoor gazebo (wired with electric) creates a usable hangout space that works year-round. An idyllic setting for morning coffee, evening drinks, or just a quiet place to work outdoors.

This is the Buda acreage setup people try to find: usable land, upgraded living spaces, STR flexibility, and a location that keeps daily life easy.

Five usable acres this close to Buda are the core value here, and 604 Oakwood Dr turns that land into a flexible residential setup with scale, privacy, and multiple living options. In Buda, this 4,742 square foot single family residence sits on 5.02 acres in Hays County and is priced at $1.15M, or $243 per square foot, which matters when buyers are weighing house size against land utility in this part of the market. The school path adds another layer of practicality, with HaysCONSISD and schools that include Carpenter Hill and Johnson High School.

Built in 1991 and held on market for 111 days, the property stands out because the major work appears to be done already. The main home has been updated throughout with tile flooring instead of carpet and quartz countertops throughout, which gives the house a cleaner maintenance profile across a large footprint. The bedroom count also works in a way many acreage properties do not. The six bedroom, three bath, one half bath layout includes a detached casita that reads as a true second residence, with its own living area, full kitchen, and two oversized bedrooms. That creates real flexibility for guests, extended family, or income use rather than just overflow space.

The land is another differentiator. It is cleared, groomed, and fenced, with mature oaks and cedar elms shaping privacy without sacrificing usability. A heavy steel automatic gate secures the entry, and a wired outdoor gazebo extends the property beyond the house itself into a practical year round gathering or work space. For buyers who want acreage they can actually use, that combination of open ground, established trees, and controlled access carries long term value.

Location supports the property’s versatility. The setting is described as less than 10 minutes from Downtown Buda and about 30 minutes from Downtown Austin and ABIA, which gives this home a different profile than many rural acreage offerings that trade convenience for land. With a two car garage, one fireplace, short term rental eligibility across the full property, and a layout that can absorb multiple living arrangements, this is the kind of Buda holding that stays relevant because it solves for both daily use and future optionality.
