Slow down, spread out, and let the country life sink in. This 68.668± acre ranch in Cedar Creek offers the rare combination of rural seclusion and everyday convenience, quiet neighbors, mature trees, and total privacy behind a fully fenced perimeter, yet still minutes from fast-growing Bastrop and Lockhart, and only 23 miles to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The land has a working history as a cattle and recreational property, with hogs and whitetail deer for hunting and a stocked pond holding bass and perch for an evening of fishing with family. Whether you're running cattle or horses, hunting your own land and homestead, or simply want distance between yourself and the crowd, this property delivers the room to do it. At the heart of the ranch sits a 3,036 SF home built of natural stone, beautifully set among large oak trees. Inside, a split floor plan offers privacy, a formal dining area, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout, along with a generously sized kitchen and primary suite. A large laundry room and wood-burning fireplace round out a layout built for comfortable day-to-day living, and a massive covered back porch sets the stage for dinners and barbecues with friends and family. An agricultural exemption is in place, and the property is fully fenced. Good wildlife presence throughout! This is a rare opportunity to own significant acreage with an established home, pond, and recreational value, all within reach of Austin.
