1301 Hwy 71 West, Smithville TX 78957

30-35 minutes from Austin airport, this private ranch situated off the highway has several hilltop homesites with panoramic views over the Alum Creek valley and entire ranch. Existing home overlooks a large pond stocked with fish on this property and Alum Creek beyond which the property borders on the east side. The view while sitting on the deck of home gives one a sense of peace and tranquility while overlooking the ranch, which has beautiful trees and pasture land as well. Wildlife of all kinds are abundant on this property, and deer are regular visitors passing the house and through the land headed towards the creek. Strolling or hunting along the wooded banks of Alum Creek on this property gives one a sense of nostalgia and solitude. Property has an 80+ pecan tree orchard as well. Property is accessed via a 55.55' wide access easement through one other property that fronts Hwy 71, so not fronting the busy highway. Excellent for horse back riding, cattle ranching, and hunting. Less than 2 hours from Houston, San Antonio, and Bryan/College Station, so centrally located for an easy trip to these larger cities.
