The Good Life Ranch! ~ This little piece of heaven is truly one-of-a-kind! Enjoy living the 'good life' on this gorgeous 116.944 acre ranch with a park-like, manicured setting, beautiful scattered oaks, 5 ponds, rolling terrain, and Grassy Creek frontage. All of the ponds are connected to water wells to maintain water levels and several of them are stocked with bass, catfish, and brim for the fishing enthusiast! Wildlife and migratory fowl are abundant for viewing enjoyment or hunting. Pastures and hay fields are planted with coastal Bermuda and jig. The charming home has been well maintained, move-in ready, and comes complete with cedar furniture and western accessories. Enjoy porch sitting on the covered front porch, the spacious rear deck, pond-side seating area, or stargazing around the fire pit overlooking the pond. Accessory buildings include a steel-built barn (54x36) with a concrete slab ready to be converted into a guest house, a barn/stable with one horse stall, equipment storage and tack room, a separate shed with two horse stalls, two well houses and two run-in sheds. The ranch is fully fenced and cross-fenced with 5-strand barbed wire and reinforced steel corners. Conveniently located in Bastrop County between Smithville and Giddings and within 1 hour of Austin's International Airport and 2 hours of Houston and San Antonio.
