Tucked away on over 8 secluded, heavily wooded acres in Belton ISD, this private retreat offers space, charm, and scenic beauty. A winding drive leads you to a custom 4-bedroom, 3-bath home set far back from the road, surrounded by nature. Hand-scraped wood double doors welcome you into a warm interior featuring light neutral tones, abundant windows, and built-in bookshelves throughout. The living room boasts a stunning wood-burning rock fireplace with built-in cabinetry, creating a cozy and inviting space. The open-concept kitchen includes custom cabinets, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and a spacious breakfast area. A full-size column refrigerator and freezer (convey with the home), stainless steel oven, and smooth electric cooktop make this kitchen as functional as it is stylish. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a window seat, double vanities, and a glass walk-in shower. A separate den with built-in bookshelves provides additional flexibility for work or relaxation, and a dedicated office-separate from the main living area-offers privacy and comfort for remote work or creative pursuits. Plantation shutters enhance the charm, while tile flooring in the main areas and bathrooms and luxury vinyl plank in the bedrooms offer both style and durability. Step outside to the covered back patio overlooking a custom pool with sweeping countryside views. The property backs to the Lampasas River-perfect for peaceful walks and enjoying nature. A detached 2-car garage includes an air-conditioned office with electricity and an adjacent large deck that showcases even more breathtaking views. This property offers privacy, functionality, and natural beauty-truly a rare find in Central Texas.
