Escape the ordinary and step into your own private Texas paradise. Just under an hour from both downtown Austin and downtown Killeen, this remarkable 56-acre estate blends untouched natural beauty with modern comforts-perfect for those seeking tranquility without sacrificing convenience. At the heart of the property lies a breathtaking 2-acre, stream-fed pond-crystal-clear and fully stocked (per seller)-framed by two lush, wooded creeks. Wander deeper and you'll discover a secluded marshland, hidden within an untouched forest that covers nearly half the property. Wild deer and wildlife roam freely, and the land offers abundant wild onions, carrots, and yucca-a true haven for nature lovers and foragers alike. Gently rolling elevation rises to a vantage point with sweeping views over the picturesque Joppa area, offering the perfect setting for a future dream home site or scenic overlook. Whether you envision building your forever home, creating a private retreat, or pursuing a larger development opportunity, this property is ready to bring your vision to life. The property is supported by a private well tapping into an underground stream-capable of filling the pond with ease-and delivering excellent water pressure and natural balance. Built in 2020, the charming 950 sq ft farmhouse features two bedrooms, two living rooms, one full bath with a walk-in shower, a half bath, and modern utilities including a large septic system, county electric connection, and well water. A high-clearance barn provides storage for large vehicles or equipment. A neighboring rancher currently grazes cattle on the land and is willing to continue, offering a seamless way to maintain its pastoral charm and agricultural exemption. This is more than land-it's a lifestyle. Properties this close to the city, with this level of privacy, water, and natural beauty, simply don't come along often. Come walk it once, and you'll never want to leave.
