About this home

Set along the gentle curve of Boggy Creek, this 30-acre ranch is a rare jewelbox retreat, an easy and beautiful hour-and-a-half drive from both Austin and Houston, and just twenty minutes from the antique fields of Round Top. Offering 3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms, 1 Half Bathroom, Pool + Spa. Mostly level land unfolds in rolling waves of hay, framed by stately cedars and oaks and threaded by a seasonal wet-weather creek. Fawns move through the fields at dusk, butterflies drift over the grasses in season, and the hay operation offers a meaningful agricultural valuation that makes this a private escape with practical benefits. The main residence was reimagined by celebrated designer M. Naeve with a collector's eye and a restrained hand. Calacatta Viola and Arabescato marbles, crisp shiplap, and original pine floors create interiors that feel both storied and new. Two bedrooms and one and a half baths open to a screened porch made for long, slow evenings, while the pool and spa invite you to linger from spring through fall. Across the grounds sits a historic schoolhouse, moved to the property and thoughtfully reborn as a guest studio. A translucent barn door filters light over the cedars and open fields. Inside, there is room for two queen beds, a living area, and dining, along with a full bath: a sanctuary for guests, a creative studio, or a quiet place of your own. For those with a larger vision, the future is already drawn. Conceptual drawings by Ruard Veltman for a grand main residence, paired with a landscape design by Jonathan Williams, convey with the property. It is a rare chance to live beautifully today while building something extraordinary tomorrow. Here you'll find weekend mornings at the Round Top fields, afternoons by the pool, and nights under an unbroken Texas sky. This is the Texas country retreat, refined. *Acreage and SF per Austin CAD; buyer to verify.
