Description
Nestled on 6.12 picturesque acres in Briggs Estates near Firefly Aerospace, this Texas country retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, functionality, and accessibility—approximately 40 minutes from Austin along the rapidly growing Highway 183 corridor. Surrounded by wide-open skies, mature trees, and peaceful countryside, this exceptional property delivers the space and freedom so many are searching for while maintaining convenient access to city amenities, major employers, and nearby communities including Leander and Lampasas. Originally built in 1993 and extensively renovated and expanded in 2010, the home spans approximately 2,988 square feet with a thoughtfully designed layout featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath, plus 2 additional half baths, multiple living areas, dedicated office space, and flexible-use spaces ideal for guests, hobbies, multigenerational living, or work-from-home functionality. The split-bedroom floorplan offers exceptional privacy, with the primary suite positioned on one side of the home while the secondary bedroom wing can be closed off with a separate entrance and includes its own living area plus utility space with potential for a future kitchenette or secondary laundry area. Inside, warm hardwood flooring, slate tile, two wood-burning fireplaces, and custom details throughout create a welcoming blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. A hidden closet adds a unique touch, while practical upgrades including two water heaters, a metal roof, and tornado storm shelter provide peace of mind and everyday convenience. The expansive 12’ x 50’ covered front porch is perfect for enjoying sweeping country views and tranquil sunsets. The property is well-equipped for rural living with a barn featuring two horse stalls and hay storage, tractor shed, additional outbuilding ideal for feed or chickens, plus RV hookups with water, electric, and a separate septic connection already in place.
