$625,000 - 1409 Orchard Drive, Leander

Situated on 5.2 acres backing to the South San Gabriel River, this distinctive Leander property offers a peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees & natural beauty. The home features wood-frame construction with metal exterior elements and a unique layout that places the main living space on the upper level with a large barn-style lower level below, blending rural functionality with comfortable living. The upper level features the primary living areas with elevated views overlooking the surrounding trees & the river below, creating the feeling of being in a treehouse. The upstairs includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, providing comfortable living space while enjoying the privacy and natural setting of the property. The lower level offers additional flexible space and includes two full baths, unfinished storage areas, and bonus space, along with five stalls and runs within the barn-style area. This level provides versatile space that can accommodate a variety of storage, workshop, or rural uses. A circular drive allows convenient access for vehicles and trailers, creating easy entry and exit from the property. The land itself is equally special. Mature trees, open pasture, and natural areas lead down to the South San Gabriel River, creating a setting where wildlife is abundant and the pace of life slows down. Spend afternoons fishing along the riverbank, launch a kayak or relax while watching deer & native wildlife move through the property. The property currently holds a Wildlife Management valuation supported by beehives, helping maintain reduced property taxes while encouraging stewardship of the natural habitat. Located just minutes from Garey Park & River Ranch, with more than 2,000 acres of nearby trails and parkland, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy acreage, river frontage, and natural surroundings while still being within easy reach of Leander’s conveniences. A truly unique property offering privacy, character, and a connection to the land.
