1511 Shaws Bend Rd This 50-acre ranch offers a country setting close to the major highways leading to Houston, Austin and San Antonio. On a paved county road, the property is just minutes from Columbus and about an hour from both Houston and Austin. An hour and a half from San Antonio. It has an ag exemption in place. As you move back, the land starts to rise. Two ponds sit midway back, with clusters of trees beginning to break up the landscape. Keep going, and the elevation rises into a more secluded, wooded area where you’ll find another pond and several homesites tucked among the trees. It’s private, quiet, and completely outside the floodplain.
