2729 County Road 357 Custom-built in 2020 on 14.51 acres in La Vernia ISD: a heated pool and hot tub, a finished pool house, and 13 fenced acres of pasture under active agricultural valuation. Outside the FEMA flood zone, with no HOA. Mornings start on the covered front porch, watching the light come up over open pasture and live oaks. Then it's out the back gate to walk the fence line. The land is gently rolling, with sandy loam soil suited to improved pasture, hay and grazing, and it has run cattle before. Bring a few head back, keep horses, or cut hay. The separate drive leads straight to the pasture, storage building and well, so trailers and equipment never have to pass the house. When the work is done, the backyard takes over. A heated pool with a waterfall and slide, a hot tub across a bridge over river rock, and a fire pit where you can watch the pasture go gold, then dark. The pool house has beamed ceilings, a wet bar, an ice maker and its own AC, so hosting after a long day on the land is easy. The custom home, built in 2020, has 4, 491 sq ft with four bedrooms. The main-level primary suite has a freestanding tub and rain shower, there's a downstairs guest suite, and a study with built-ins and a walk-in vault works as a ranch office. The kitchen has two granite islands, a gas range and two built-in ovens, with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace close by. The three-car garage opens to a mudroom with six cubbies, a half bath and a big laundry room, so boots and country dust stop at the door. Private well, aerobic septic and a buried propane tank keep the place running. Room to run cattle, room to ride, and a finished home to come back to. This is the Texas country life without the project. Acreage and open skies, a custom home, a pool and pasture, and room to breathe. This is the Texas country life people move out here for.
