About this property
Welcome to Utopia, Texas-a little slice of the Hill Country where life seems to slow down. Just about 20 minutes from Garner State Park, the same Frio River where George Straight learned to swim, you will find this hill country getaway. Texas living through and through! This house has more space than the average 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home. It's the kind of place where you can find a river in any direction. Spend the day swimming, exploring the outdoors, fishing, or just sitting back and enjoying the peace and quiet. The Driveway is in an oversized front yard so your beautiful home can be seen from the road and guests can be seen arriving giving you time to greet them! Lead your guests through the deck where there is lots of space to barbecue, hang out , and spend the afternoon under the shade or on warm summer nights. Walk through the open floor concept living room and dining area where there is space for both entertainment and relaxation. The Fireplace in the living room is perfect for those chilly winter nights keeping your homestead warm and cozy; not to mention it would look really nice with a Christmas tree in from of it. Utilities include Utopia water on the property, so there is no need for expensive water wells or maintenance and a home that is fully functional and move in ready! The 6.71 Acres is fully fenced in and has a pond that fills up with each heavy rain storm . These natural features attract deer and other animals to the surrounding area which is also teeming with native wildlife. It's a place that brings out your inner kid-the kind of place where you can wander down to the water and enjoy the simple things, almost like stepping into your own Huckleberry Finn adventure. Come for a weekend getaway, a quiet escape, or just a chance to unplug for a while and enjoy the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. In Utopia, there's really nowhere you need to rush off to-and that's kind of the point.
