This 2.48-acre country retreat near Elgin offers a rare fusion of charm, function, and freedom. With 2,788 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, and 3 full baths, this custom home is filled with character: vaulted cedar ceilings, hand-carved wood details, flexible spaces, and a warm, open layout. The kitchen is built for the homesteader at heart—ideal for prepping, canning, baking, or gathering. The expansive upstairs loft features brand-new carpeting, a roomy bifold closet, and a complete bath. This versatile space can function as a second living area, an additional bedroom, or a game room. It's perfect for family gatherings or hosting friends. Outside, the land is usable, fenced, and full of possibility. Rolling grassy slopes, mature shade trees, and sunset views create a peaceful setting. Oversized 3-car garage with a unique drive-through design. Garage is accessible from both the front and side of the home, leading directly to the workshop ideal for trailers. While the massive detached workshop with oversized roll-up doors offers unmatched potential for woodworking, auto restoration, welding, or running a business from home. There's ample space for trailers, RVs, dirt bikes, livestock, or equipment—with no HOA restrictions. Ideal for homesteaders, entrepreneurs, or anyone looking to trade the chaos of the city for space, peace, and purpose. Located just minutes from downtown Elgin and 30 minutes to Austin or Bastrop. Whether you're building a business, a garden, or a legacy—this property is ready for your next chapter.
