Situated on 14.54 acres just outside Elgin, this custom-built home offers the privacy, space, and freedom that are becoming harder to find in Central Texas. Surrounded by mature trees and open pasture, the property feels like your own private retreat while still being within commuting distance of Austin, Bastrop, Tesla, and Samsung. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an open layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. Need a quiet place to work? The home features a dedicated heated and cooled office located just off the back patio.
