Description
Welcome to 490 John Craft Rd, a private 77+/- acre Hill Country ranch on a quiet dead-end county road. Surrounded by tall pines and wide-open space, this property offers real privacy with easy access—15 minutes to Bastrop, 50 minutes to downtown Austin, and about 40 minutes to the airport. The land is fully fenced and cross-fenced, well suited for a full-time homestead, horse property, or weekend retreat. The ranch is anchored by a 3,142+/- sq ft custom home built with classic Texas style. A stone exterior, metal roof, and wraparound porches open to a spacious layout with vaulted wood-beam ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace. The updated kitchen features painted cabinets, quartz countertops, and a Wolf range—functional for daily use or hosting. The primary bedroom is on the main level with access to a private deck overlooking the pines. The attached bath includes dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Downstairs are additional bedrooms and a bonus space ideal for an office, gym, or storage. Bathrooms throughout have been updated with clean, practical finishes. Outside, rolling terrain, mature pines, native grasses, wildflowers, and a peaceful pond support abundant wildlife, including Whitetail deer, turkey, and hogs. An existing ag exemption helps keep property taxes low. Improvements include covered parking, horse stables, a chicken coop, and a 50' x 80' barn/hangar with efficiency living quarters and a concrete helipad—well over $200,000 to replace. 490 John Craft Rd is a true Texas ranch—private, functional, and built for room to roam. *Additional acreage available
