Improved Land for Sale in Red Rock, Texas
490 John Craft Rd, Red Rock, TX 78662
Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end county road, this 77± acre estate offers both peaceful seclusion and convenient access—just 15 minutes to Bastrop, 50 minutes to downtown Austin, and 40 minutes to the airport. Fully fenced and cross-fenced, this property is ideal for a serene homestead, equestrian haven, or weekend getaway.
At the heart of the property sits a 3,142± sq ft custom-built home. Classic wraparound porches, a durable metal roof, and a stone exterior give way to an airy interior featuring vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a stunning floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace, and an open floor plan. The updated kitchen is designed for both beauty and function with painted cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a premium Wolf range—perfect for hosting family and friends.
The primary suite is located on the main level and includes private deck access, ideal for enjoying quiet mornings under the towering pines. The en-suite bath is spa-inspired, with an oversized walk-in shower and dual vanities. Downstairs, you’ll find additional bedrooms and a versatile bonus space—perfect for a home gym, office, or extra storage. All bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with a clean, modern touch.
The property also benefits from an ag exemption, keeping taxes low.
Outbuildings include a large covered parking area, horse stables, a chicken coop, and an impressive 50' x 80' barn-hangar with efficiency living quarters and a concrete helipad—a versatile structure that would cost over $200,000 to replicate. Whether you're flying in, riding out, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy, this ranch is built for self-sufficiency and adventure.
This isn’t just a property—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re saddling up, soaking in the sunset from the deck, or enjoying the natural beauty all around you, this one-of-a-kind estate invites you to slow down, reconnect, and truly feel at home in the heart of Texas.
