About this property
Escape to the peace and privacy of 15.10 beautiful acres just outside Smithville. Surrounded by mature oak trees, open pasture, and three ponds, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home, built in 2008, offers the ideal setting for a private homestead, weekend retreat, or recreational property. The land is thoughtfully suited for country living, with cross fenced pasture for livestock, wooded areas that provide shade and habitat for wildlife, and multiple water features for fishing and outdoor enjoyment. The property currently carries an agricultural exemption, helping to keep property taxes low. The pond behind the home was cleaned out and reshaped approximately 15 years ago and has been stocked with catfish, bass, perch, minnows, and crawfish. The front pond was dug around the same time and stocked with perch, minnows, and crawfish. A third pond has never been fished or seined, leaving its possibilities for the next owner to discover. Additional improvements include a horse barn, a pole barn with water and electricity, and three shipping containers offering plenty of room for equipment, tools, recreational gear, or additional storage. Whether you envision raising animals, starting a hobby farm, fishing steps from your back door, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of wide open space, 146 Split Oak Road delivers acreage, water, versatility, and privacy--all just minutes from town.

About the Area
146 Split Oak Rd is located in Smithville, Texas, in Bastrop County. Bastrop County sits at the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country transition zone, blending the Lost Pines forest, an isolated stand of loblolly pines separated from the East Texas Piney Woods by 100 miles, with open ranch land and the growing spillover of the Austin metro.
The Colorado River flows through the county, and the Lost Pines ecosystem creates a uniquely lush landscape unusual for Central Texas. Bastrop State Park preserves thousands of acres of pine forest that survived and recovered from the devastating 2011 wildfires.
Smithville had an estimated population of 4,032 as of 2023. The 78957 zip code has a median household income of $62,796, a median home value of $246,500, and a median age of 40. The average household size is 2.5 people.
Bastrop County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, driven by Austin metro expansion, the Tesla Gigafactory nearby, and SpaceX's Starbase proximity. Agriculture, timber, and tourism coexist with rapid residential and commercial development.
