705 Antioch Rd, Paige, TX 78659

This 225-acre Bastrop County ranch combines productivity, recreation, and privacy in a premier setting. Completely hog-fenced, the land offers highly improved pastures alongside carefully managed habitat for deer, turkey, and native wildlife. With frontage on Antioch Road, the improvements are placed for seclusion, while the convergence of the Post Oak Savannah and Bastrop’s Lost Pines regions creates a striking landscape of pines, live oaks, post oaks, and pin oaks. Recognized as both 2018 Rancher of the Year and 2018 Conservation Rancher of the Year by the NRCS, the property reflects a legacy of stewardship and attention to detail.

The 3,741-square-foot main home includes three bedrooms, three baths, and a large office. A chef’s kitchen anchors the home with a large island, dual commercial refrigerators, six-burner stove, and farmhouse sink, complemented by custom cabinetry, flooring, and fixtures. Expansive eastern views unfold from the back porch. A 1,000-square-foot guest barndominium with double 25-by-60 lean-tos offers abundant storage and flexible living space.

Ranch infrastructure is designed for efficiency, with 14,000 feet of interior fencing dividing 11 pastures for rotational grazing. Two wells supply water across the property, including a new 2024 well producing 75 GPM at 500 feet and another from 2010 producing the same volume at 750 feet. Multiple troughs and five ponds ensure consistent water access for livestock and wildlife. Additional improvements include a 50-by-60 covered horse barn with stalls, cattle chute, and working pens.

Blending natural beauty with first-class improvements, this ranch is a rare opportunity to own a productive and thoughtfully managed property in one of Texas’ most unique ecological regions.

The setting is defined by land stewardship and utility, not just acreage.

Two strong wells, including a newer 2024 well, support the operation along with multiple troughs and five ponds.

If you want a property that can handle livestock, wildlife management, and weekend recreation without compromise, this one reads as a serious ranch rather than a hobby tract.

The kitchen is built for real use with a large island, dual commercial refrigerators, a six-burner stove, farmhouse sink, and substantial custom storage.

There is also a 1,000 square foot guest barndominium with double lean-tos, plus a covered horse barn, stalls, cattle chute, and working pens.

For day-to-day access, the entrance is reached from South Old Potato Road and TX-21, then about three miles down Antioch Road, which keeps the ranch private without feeling cut off. School zoning is to Bastrop ISD, with Bluebonnet for elementary, Bastrop for middle school, and Bastrop for high school.
