Property Description
Welcome to Caracara Ranch, a beautiful +/- 80 acre ranch with a newly remodeled home and breathtaking landscape. Nestled in the pines of Bastrop county, this unrestricted, ag exempt ranch offers a wide variety of tree and wildlife species, coupled with rolling topography that provides amazing views. Caracara Ranch is conveniently located just a short distance off of Hwy 71 halfway between Bastrop and Smithville. Being approximately 10 minutes from Bastrop, 35 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom airport and 45 minutes from downtown Austin, this property allows for wide open ranch living to enjoy peace and quiet and the convenience of amenities. The 2,170 sq ft 3bed/3bath home was built in 1995, but has been recently remodeled by the current owners. Beautifully situated on a ridgeline, the home offers amazing views overlooking the pasture and one of the tanks from the kitchen and living rooms windows. New landscaping has also been done to the outside of the home, along with a newly constructed storage area underneath the carport. The current location of the home is out of the FEMA floodplain (please see attached amended floodplain). Located in the pasture and to the east of the home is a massive +/- 35 ft x 85 ft barn with a roll door and side door. Caracara Ranch is accessed by a short easement road (approximately 0.25 miles) from Hwy 71. The whole property is perimeter fenced and also has some cross fencing separating the pasture from the home. Oaks, pines, mesquites, cedar and pecan trees are just some of the species that can be found on the property. Whitetail deer, hogs, wild turkey, waterfowl and various species of birds can all be found on the property as well. There are three tanks on the ranch, one of which is stocked with bass. Alum Creek serves as the eastern boundary of the ranch. All neighboring tracts are of substantial size with each of them over 100 acres. This comes as a huge asset as it’s becoming more difficult to find large neighbors in this area.
