SOLD

A new job in New Mexico is forcing us to sell our dream home.

$229,500 (recently reduced)       780 Bee Creek Road, Red Rock, Texas

Property is located about 16 miles from Bastrop and 13 miles from Lockhart, off Highway 20.  It is about 35 minutes from Austin.

Beautiful, secluded, Victorian farm house with a wraparound porch on 5.5 wooded acres with 2 ponds 35 minutes east of Austin, (near Red Rock, Texas). The home is about 1660 sq. ft. with 2 large bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and 2 baths. The master bedroom has cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling windows on two sides that look out over the ponds.  The detached oversized garage ( 28' X 56') easily holds two cars and has a large workshop area left over.  It also has a very large bonus room (24' x 28') that we use for an art studio but could easily be converted into a guest house or 3rd bedroom.

There are two ponds - one in the front yard and one to the side of the house, both have fish in them and we recently built a new fishing dock for our grandchildren.  Both ponds are low now since we've had so little rain but the former owners who lived there 11 years told us the front pond had never gone dry.  The side pond did go dry during the drought 3 years ago but ample rain over the next two years filled them both again. 

Towards the front of the property is a red barn with a tack room, two large stalls and a separate fenced in pasture for livestock. 

• When we purchased the home a year ago, the kitchen cabinets were falling apart so we gutted the kitchen and installed new cabinets, added a new stainless steel, side by side refrigerator and granite tile countertops.  We also put in a new floor.
• Ceilings are beadboard or wood.
• Carpet is new and was installed last October.
• The master bath has a claw foot tub and a very large walk-in closet.  The master bedroom is surrounded by windows that look out on the two ponds, one in front of the house and the other on the side. 
• The guest bedroom has a walk-in closet that is so large, it's been used as a sitting room, sewing room or small office (previous owners). 
• The guest bath has a walk-in tiled shower.  
• Outside lighting at patio and on wraparound porch are great for entertaining.
• Built in stereo system in living room
• two fireplaces - one in living room and a Franklin in the kitchen/dining area
• Home sits at the back of the property so it feels very secluded.  You cannot see the neighbors (thought they're great folks!) anytime during the year because of tree cover.
• Blackberry and grapes, peach trees and plum tree
• Great garden area

The property is located off Highway 20 - about 13 miles from Lockhart and 16 miles from Bastrop.

We have Wildblue satellite service for internet and it works great.  The contract with Wildblue has another 9 months and can be assumed by the new owner.

The property is fenced and cross fenced with an electric gate at the entrance. 

Utitilies run between $250 and $300 for both the house, the studio and the front electric gate which is on its own meter. Taxes are for Caldwell County (we're right on the county line) and are $2,986 for 2008.  The house was built in 1988 and has a septic system and its own well.  Trash pickup is $22 per month. 

Shown by appointment only.  Please call 512-629-5309 or email to ymeranch@wildblue.net to schedule an appointment or for more information.
