71 Acres, San Saba County

Posted on: April 5th, 2024 by Mike Barbour

A beautiful oak and elm wooded property can now be yours.  It has been in the same family for decades and has just come on the market.  The property is in a secluded part of San Saba County, one of the prettiest counties in Texas.  With no neighbors close by, this can be an outstanding getaway place.

Post oak trees and 2 kinds of elms are the predominant trees on this place.  There are a few mesquite as well, but very limited cactus and little or no cedar. Other native species are present that make this excellent habitat for deer and other wildlife.

A  well from prior years had an electric pump in it, but it has not been in use in recent years. A power line is on the property as well, along with an old farmhouse and an old barn, which are not in good condition.

There are 2 small stock ponds which hold water seasonally.  The entire property is fenced, and has paved frontage.

Awesome brick home on an acre of land.  This home was built about 1977 and has been maintained throughout the entirety of that time.  It has CH/CA, which is always handy during these Texas summers! Can I get an Amen!  This is a three bedroom, two full bath home.  As you enter the house, there is a small entry way that allows you to turn to the right to enter the living room, or continue straight on to a small den area which is adjacent to the kitchen.  It serves as a great gathering place for the after school crowd.  There is even a small built in bar (desk) for the kids to do their homework at while mom is getting supper started.  (A little supervision never hurts when it comes to homework).  The kitchen is fully furnished with plenty of cabinetry, lots of countertop space, and the appliances will convey.  That includes an electric stove top with microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher.  On the other side of the kitchen is plenty of room for a large dining table.

This home has three bedrooms and two full baths, one of which is in the master bedroom.  All bedrooms are carpeted, while kitchen and bathrooms are luxury linoleum.  The laundry room in this home is located off the kitchen and also gives access to the garage making it a great “mud room” for those times when it’s necessary to kick off those shoes!  Whirlpool washer, dryer, and upright freezer will convey with full price.  This laundry room also gives access to an enclosed sleeping porch, office, play room, or general “bonus room”.

There is a stand alone two car garage with automatic openers as well as key pad access.    An attached shop, as well as a storage room complete the garage.  A smaller storage room is in the backyard as well.   A single car garage is attached to the home.

Call to make an appointment!  We would love to show it to you.
