About This Home

As of July 2025

UNPARALLELED PRIVACY!

This peaceful and palatial setting embraces a home so well-kept, it gleams. Step through the grand foyer into the first floor featuring an owner’s retreat, office, open-concept kitchen, dining and living areas, fireplace, laundry room, half bath, and storage. Upstairs, a big bonus room could be a second living area, movie space, or playroom - and it opens to a panoramic deck. Two more bedrooms, a full bath, and attic access (with stairway insulation!) make it comfortable too.

The double-paned, thermally insulated, low-E windows are newly polished for a clear view. Notice that no window coverings are needed - that's a perk of private surroundings! This home celebrates the view, from every single room. Freshly painted inside, freshly cleaned throughout, with fresh air circulating 24/7 through the REME HALO Whole Home In-Duct Air Purifier. This level of care makes a difference!

So many extras included: TVs, LED smart switches, NEST thermostat with room sensors, SimpliSafe keypads and door sensors, bidets on every toilet, Edison bulbs on timers, surge protectors, and patio fan.

The backyard has been leveled and reseeded, with raised garden beds added. The limestone patio provides a sweet sitting area for watching pine trees grow. Spot the greenhouse across the way, then find the secret path! Head down the driveway, turn right and look for the path tucked in the trees. Go through the woods and up up up to the clearing until you’re on top of the world. Stop, get out, and do a 360 twirl of that view! YES - it’s all part of this property too! It's over 3.5 acres! Visit the greenhouse to start the seeds in your imagination. It has a diesel heater and waterwall with solar pump and exhaust fan.

Come for a visit to Pine Forest and see what it’s like to truly live in a pine forest.

2 golf courses nearby: Colovista and Bastrop River Club. 2 State Parks nearby: Bastrop and Buescher State Parks.
