Bastrop, TX 78602(Bastrop County)

With its 80 +/- acres the Equestrian Hills Ranch is every horse lover’s dream. As you drive alongside the ranch towards the main entrance, majestic pine and oak trees line the fence and offer a glimpse of the beautiful horse ranch behind them. Turning through the electric gate and winding gently uphill you will reach the magnificent rock two-story main ranch home with just over 5400 square feet of living area and almost 3000 square feet of covered porches. This home welcomes you with an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area that includes a fireplace, sit down bar area, and built- in bookcases. The kitchen is every cook’s dream kitchen with granite countertops, top of the line appliances, and ample space in the custom made ash cabinets. Wood flooring throughout this area adds to the warmth and comfort of the home. French doors lead out in several places to the wonderful covered porch area that is perfect for sitting and enjoying the outdoors and observing the horses and riders. Just off the back of the home is a large riding area enclosed by a wooden fence. Dotting the lush green grasses of the backyard and riding areas are tall pine trees and post oaks creating the ideal place to enjoy riding your horse.

A hallway from the living area leads you into the guest area which has 2 spacious bedrooms with French doors leading outside to the covered porch. Each bedroom has a large cedar lined closet, carpeting, and a private bathroom with granite countertops and tile flooring. Tall ceilings in this area as well as the rest of the home give the rooms a very spacious feel.

The master suite area is entirely private from the guest area. It has 2 large bedrooms, again with French doors leading to the porch. The master bath has soaking tub, glass shower with rain shower head, 2 vanity areas, ceramic tile, granite countertops, and ash cabinetry. In the middle of the master suite area you have a unique built-in combination desk, storage, and TV area along with a sitting area to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your home.

Upstairs is an office area with large attic storage and a spacious combination game room and den. This upstairs living area has built-in bookcases and tract lighting along with more attic storage. A full bathroom completes the upstairs.

Outside the home one will certainly enjoy the beautiful landscaping and natural beauty of the land. Behind the 3 car attached carport is a swimming pool and hot tub surrounded by lush green plants giving you a great place to unwind and entertain family and friends.

The ranch is second to none in its excellent horse facilities. First the 4 stall horse barn with concrete floor through the center, sliding wooden doors on each end for ease of access, hot water, wash rack, feed room, and fantastic insect spraying system to each stall. The barn is lighted and has exhaust fans as well. Inside the barn is an air-conditioned tack room with ½ bath for convenience. One side of the barn offers additional covered parking for trailers and equipment.

A utility barn around 2500 square feet with 2 sliding doors and concrete flooring gives you plenty of space to store supplies and small equipment. The utility barn also has a heated and cooled efficiency apartment with ¾ bath and full kitchen, closet space, and sleeping area. In the other end of the utility barn is a shop area for doing repairs also having 2 sliding doors to make it easy to drive a vehicle in and out. This utility barn has upstairs storage and covered parking outside. Near the utility barn is a hay shed to store hay.

The ranch has 6 wood fenced paddocks for the horses. Each paddock has thick, lush green grasses growing in them and irrigation water piped in to keep the grass growing which gives the horses plenty of nice green grazing. Large trees provide shade around each of the paddocks. What horse would not want to call this home?

Rounding out the amenities of the Equestrian Hills Ranch is a 1920 square foot guest house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The guest house sits away from the main house and has its own entrance adding to the privacy of each home.

That’s not all the ranch has to offer though. From the main area around the homes, barns, and paddocks you drive through a small coastal field into a beautiful forest area of pines, post oaks, elms, and a mix of native brush. Neatly cut riding paths for horses or 4 wheelers wind through the woods with a different aspect of nature meeting you at every turn. Two ponds are tucked away in the woods and offer water for the wildlife. Deer and turkey love this place and can be frequently spotted. Two water wells supply water for the horse barn, paddocks, and can be used to fill the ponds when needed. Sandy soil found all over the ranch is ideal for the horses. All this combines to create a very beautiful and functional horse ranch that both owner and horse will love to call home.
