Bastrop, TX Real Estate — Homes For Sale in Bastrop, TX

So a few weeks ago, I added Bastrop officially to my area to service. So, I went out there yesterday and spent the day driving around, previewing properties and just getting re-acquainted. It was amazing! I remember it before the fire and I remember it just after the fire and now, there are new buildings, new life, everywhere! I saw some incredible homes! There's some upscale new neighborhoods and there are some really affordable new builds or rebuilds. There's on acreage, on small lots, you name it. Bastrop still has it's small town charm, but folks, it is amazing the shopping that has come to Bastrop. Heck unless you work in Austin, not sure why you'd have to leave Bastrop. I think my all time favorite of the day, was driving down the tree lined roads. They are so green right now; it is remarkable. Take a drive, discover Bastrop again. I did. less

Bastrop Texas is truly one of Austin's best kept secrets. Bastrop has it all, and is still in close proximity to Austin. Bastrop has a rich history, and at one time was almost made the capital of Texas. Bastrop has top notch golf courses, rivers and lakes to fish in, big beautiful state parks, hunting ranches, horse communities, great dinning and shopping locations, and amazing and eclectic subdivisions that offer something for everyone. The city of Bastrop is the County seat of Bastrop County, and is only twenty minutes from Austin Bergstrom International Airport, and approximately thirty minutes from Downtown Austin. Bastrop County is a very diverse landscape with rolling hills, Pine Forests, and the winding Colorado River. Bastrop has something for everyone, whether you are looking for a private country retreat on a big ranch, or if you're looking for a cozy sub-division with community amenities. Bastrop County is home to McKinney Roughs Nature Park, Lake Bastrop Nature preserve, Bastrop State Park, and Buescher State Park, and has robust wildlife and scenic beauty. Bastrop was established in 1832, as an early settlement by Stephen F Austin, and at one point was almost made the Capital of Texas before they decided it was cheaper to build in what is now Austin. Bastrop is home to over 130 Historic sites, including many amazing historic homes, and Bastrop's downtown district is rich in Historic charm.

Circle D and La Reata Ranch are two more communities outside of Bastrop close to Smithville, and both are great. La Reata features 5+ acres lots and is densely wooded and horse friendly. Closer to Elgin you also have the Arbors at Dogwood creek, which is gated community off of highway 95. Bastrop is one of a kind. It is close enough to the big city, but far enough away with all you need close by. There are parts of Bastrop that make you feel like you have travelled outside of state to the pine forests of the Rockies, and at the same time the classic country setting that you would expect to find in beautiful central Texas. I wouldn't live anywhere else. less
