Some properties give you a house and yard. This one gives you a way of living. Set on 8.55 usable acres in Spicewood with no HOA and an exceptional ~1.32% tax rate, 1005 County Road 414 offers a level of freedom increasingly hard to find. The remodeled 3-bed, 2-bath home is move-in ready, featuring a bright open kitchen with center islands flowing into the living room, a downstairs primary suite, and a new upstairs A/C installed July 2026. It works perfectly for quiet evenings or hosting family and friends after a long day outdoors. For horse lovers, this turnkey setup is the real deal. Over 4 acres of interconnected, cross-fenced pasture provide practical rotation with multiple sheds. Built to the high standards of a former boarding facility, the center-aisle barn includes 8 padded stalls with individual paddock access, electrical throughout, tack room, feed storage, covered/open wash racks, a lighted arena, and a round pen. A separate full bath at the carport adds welcome convenience after a long day at the barn. The extensive outbuildings offer serious flexibility, including three covered bays for hay or equipment, a deep enclosed garage/workshop, and a flex/guest area with a sink and cooktop-ideal for hobbies, ranch operations, or visitors. The property also features a chicken coop, covered parking, a trailer/RV-friendly pull-through drive, and dual dump stations. Country living is made easy with both a private well and a local water tap. Keep your animals, gear, and toys at home instead of in paid storage across town. Enjoy easy access to Lake Travis boat ramps, trail riding at Muleshoe Bend and Grelle, Spicewood Airport, local wineries and breweries, and Hill Country golf at Lakecliff and Barton Creek Lakeside. The upcoming Thomas Ranch development will also bring exciting amenities even closer to home. Welcome to Hill Country living that still feels like freedom.
