Tucked behind a charming picket fence on 5.5 unrestricted acres of mature trees and cleared land, this rare Elgin farmhouse delivers the Texas country lifestyle without sacrificing city access. The main home offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths across an open, light-filled floor plan with wood floors, a breakfast bar kitchen, covered front porch, and back deck made for Texas sunsets. The fully separate guest house — approximately 872 sq ft with 1 bed and 1 full bath, its own kitchen and private entrance — unlocks multigenerational living, a dedicated home office suite, or income-producing short-term rental potential in one of Central Texas's fastest-growing corridors. Outside, a lighted stone path winds through the trees to a private gazebo, patio, and hot tub — the kind of backyard that makes every weekend feel like a retreat. Multiple storage buildings, a 2-car garage, automatic sprinkler system, pergola, and fully fenced grounds round out a property built for people who actually use their land. Recently cleared and horse-ready. John Deere tractor and riding lawn mower negotiable conveyance. Zone X — confirmed out of all 100- and 500-year floodplains. No HOA. Aerobic septic professionally serviced and fully documented. New roof. Whether you're a remote professional craving Hill Country-adjacent space, a family seeking room to grow, or an investor eyeing Airbnb and long-term rental upside, this property delivers on every front. Less than 5 minutes to downtown Elgin, 30 minutes to downtown Austin, approximately 25 minutes to Tesla Gigafactory Texas in Austin and Samsung's semiconductor campus in Taylor. Positioned perfectly along the SH 130 growth corridor where land values and employer presence continue to climb. Elgin ISD — with the new Trinity Ranch Elementary just minutes away. Conventional, VA, Texas Vet, and Cash financing accepted. Preferred title: Texas National Title.
