About this property
Discover Chapman Ranch, a rare 96-acre offering positioned perfectly between Bastrop and Austin, directly in the path of explosive regional growth. This ranch remains largely untouched, showcasing mature hardwoods, native vegetation, and the privacy that comes with true, undisturbed countryside. A 1950s farmhouse, moved onto the property in the 1980s, still stands as a reminder of the ranch’s history. While it needs significant restoration, it provides a foundation for a unique renovation project or future homesite. The land features a reliable, spring-fed pond that has never gone dry, adding both beauty and utility to the property. There are active oil wells on-site, all well-maintained, with the tank battery cleanly tucked away along the southwest boundary for minimal impact on the land’s usability. With a strong offer, the seller is open to conveying minerals, currently producing approximately $600 per month, offering a compelling investment upside. Whether you’re looking for a long-term hold, a future development opportunity, or a private ranch getaway, Chapman Ranch offers location, character, and potential—all in one exceptional package.

About the Area
137 Shady Oaks Loop is located in Cedar Creek, 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.
