Set on 8.44 private acres in Cedar Creek, this wooded homestead is built for buyers who want land that works as hard as they do, with room to garden, keep bees and chickens, and enjoy true country privacy. An agricultural use-value exemption is in place for the working apiary, which helps keep property taxes lower. Mature trees, established gardens, and a seasonal pond attract songbirds and wildlife nearly year-round. Inside, the 2037sqft (approx) 3BR/2.5BA main home has new hardwood flooring, fresh paint, and a refinished bathtub and shower, so you get updated interiors with rustic, tucked-into-the-woods charm. The open floor plan flows out to decks, and large windows bring the outdoors in. The kitchen and dining areas look out on an established native garden bed framed by mature oaks. A separate 543sqft (approx) garage apartment has its own bedroom, bath, and newer appliances, so it works well as a guest suite, home office, or rental. Recent improvements include a replaced septic tank, new well pump, water softener, and water heater, plus new siding and paint on the garage and ADU exterior. You're just 10 minutes from downtown Bastrop and about 30 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, close to dining, shopping, and travel.
