Property Description
Set on just over 11 beautiful acres in Elgin, 153 County Road 491 offers the kind of space and freedom that's getting harder to find. As you arrive, you're welcomed by a front porch made for rocking chairs and peaceful sunrises with your morning coffee. Step inside to an open layout with a seamless connection between the kitchen and living area, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a double oven, abundant drawers and cabinetry, and a spacious center island with seating. The living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace, while a spiral staircase leads to a versatile upstairs bonus space - perfectly suited for a second living area, home theater, gym, or playroom or 4th bedroom, but especially ideal as a private work-from-home office with its own exterior entrance, allowing clients or guests to come and go without ever entering the main living areas. The primary suite feels like its own retreat, complete with a soaking tub nestled inside an oversized walk-in shower and convenient access to the laundry room. The mudroom adds everyday practicality with a closet, sink, laundry connections, and extra cabinetry to keep life organized after a day outdoors. Step outside to the enclosed back patio with ceiling fans, the perfect place to unwind year-round while overlooking your land. Beyond the patio, the lifestyle truly shines with your very own private pickleball court, ready for friendly matches, weekend tournaments, or evening games under the Texas sky. Across the charming bridgeway, or accessible by stairs, sits a separate 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest apartment currently used as a short-term rental, offering incredible potential for guests, multigenerational living, or added income. Enjoy the peace of country living while being less than 10 miles from Downtown Elgin and within easy reach of Austin. Wide open space, recreation, income potential, and thoughtful design all come together in this one-of-a-kind property.
