$249,000 - 538 Cottletown Road, Smithville

A beautiful piece of land in the heart of the Lost Pines! 4.37 acres is available, roughly 1 acre of flat land at the top of a hill and a little over 3 acres of rugged wildlife habitat is waiting for you to explore. Many trees, including a few young loblolly pines, can be found on the property and nearby tracts have thick pine growth that you can view from the house. The 2016 manufactured home has been well-maintained. It is filled with lots of light and is laid out for maximum functionality and space. The main living area is open concept, with an eat-in kitchen and laundry nook. The master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet is on the opposite side of the house from the two smaller bedrooms and another full bathroom. A refrigerator, microwave, washer, and dryer are included. The house is also ready for cable and high-speed internet service. The HVAC system and septic tank were installed in 2016. Finishing off the home tour, a carport is near the front walk, a 6’ chain link fence surrounds a large backyard, and there are two covered porches to enjoy peaceful viewing of wildlife and a consistent gentle breeze. Home to deer, rabbits, coyotes, and many birds – Northern Cardinals abound, and Greater Roadrunners are regulars too. Eastern Bluebird houses and habitats for the Houston Toad are set up around the property as part of a TPWD conservation program. There is a small pond at the southwest corner of the property, dry at the time of listing, but it will fill up in times of consistent wet weather. Easy access to Park Road 1-C and halfway between Bastrop State Park and Buescher State Park. Far enough out for excellent stargazing, but only a short trip to Bastrop or Smithville for anything you need. You are within a 1–2-hour drive of 4 major metropolitan areas and dozens of charming small towns. This peaceful retreat is waiting to welcome you!
