Sustainable Cedar Creek Homestead on 9+ Acres with Guest House
Set on approximately 9.6 acres along FM 535 in Cedar Creek, this thoughtfully improved property offers a rare opportunity for a private homestead, family retreat, or peaceful country getaway, all within convenient reach of Bastrop, Austin, and surrounding Central Texas communities.
The property includes a 3-bedroom, 1-bath main home and a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath efficiency guest house, creating a total of 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and approximately 2,215 square feet of combined living space, with 1,440 square feet in the main residence and 775 square feet in the guest house. The additional living quarters provide flexibility for extended family, guests, a home office, or a quiet retreat space separate from the main home.
Designed with long-term sustainability in mind, the property features solar power supported by three Tesla Powerwalls, offering energy independence, efficiency, and reliable backup power. Additional improvements such as Renewal by Andersen windows, along with a newer HVAC system and water heater, contribute to comfort and energy performance.
The land is well suited for a self-sustaining lifestyle, with established agricultural features that include an irrigated in-ground garden, a developing food forest with its own watering system, 16 wicking beds, and approximately 43 mature pecan trees. These features provide a strong foundation for personal food production, gardening, or small-scale homesteading.
The acreage is fenced and cross-fenced with sandy loam soil ideal for horses and livestock, and includes a shedrow barn with small animal pens. A wet-weather creek winds through the property, with trails for walking or riding, creating a natural setting that encourages time outdoors. A central fire pit area offers a place to gather, relax, and enjoy the quiet surroundings.
Whether used as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or working homestead, this property offers the space, infrastructure, and setting to support a wide range of rural lifestyles while remaining accessible to the conveniences of Central Texas.
