21.46± acres in the gated Big Sky Ranch community just south of Smithville, offering a rare combination of improved infrastructure, water features, mature trees, and a one-of-a-kind timber-frame structure.

Clerestory-style construction fills the structure with natural light and creates endless potential for a future barndo, workshop, entertaining space, or weekend retreat. The land offers a balanced mix of open pasture, scattered trees, wooded trails, and a wet weather creek along the rear boundary. A pond near the front of the property creates an attractive entry and draws wildlife year-round. The property is serviced by a water well reportedly producing approximately 10 GPM, filtered water system, electricity from Bluebonnet Electric, and an insulated, air-conditioned well house with fenced area for pets or equipment. Multiple potential homesites throughout the tract allow flexibility for future improvements. Conveniently located approximately 7 minutes from Smithville, 20 minutes from Bastrop, and under an hour from Austin, this property is well suited for a full-time residence, weekend ranch, recreational retreat, or future homestead with room to expand.
