1747 Borchert LOOP Lockhart, TX 78644

A pastoral 25-acre ranch in burgeoning Lockhart. This special property lies just outside the barbeque capital of Texas, offering the ultimate Central Texas rural experience with all the conveniences of a thriving small town. Formerly a working cattle ranch, it includes 19 acres of ag-exempt land surrounded by dense woods that create privacy and a spectacular backdrop for the dozen-plus mature oak trees, some over 700 years old. In roaming the property, you will be enchanted to discover the half-acre stock pond hidden away by a stand of trees that creates a magical setting to fish and paddle. The main compound includes wonderful places to enjoy the outdoors and plenty of space for guests, projects and storage. Splash in the sparkling pool fed by a stone waterfall, then dry off under the rustic pergola created from the original pole barn. The park-like front yard is perfect for hosting summer parties under the towering oaks. There is a guest/caretaker apartment with full kitchen and bath and a attached four-bay garage/workshop with room for all your hobbies and toys, even if one of them is an RV. A concrete-floored barn offers additional storage and a covered space to park your tractor. There is even an original farmhouse – the 1869 Withers house – on the property, which offers a project opportunity that could eventually be sold separately or used as an investment/rental property.
