Located twelve minutes from Round Top on 3.36 acres of open land, “The Southern” currently functions as a short-term rental. Completed in 2023, this home boasts a total of 1,800 sq. ft. of livable space: The main house measures 1,120 and the guest house, 680. Both feature clean, modern design, each with a bright and airy bedroom and living space with full kitchen in the main house and a coffee bar in the adjacent guest house. Neither Austin nor Houston are too far away - around 90” drive - allowing you to balance the privacy and calm of the country with city life. This property is flexible: As a primary residence or weekend retreat, you have the option to live in or rent both spaces, or even rent one while enjoying the other for yourself. With “The Southern” currently booked for Round Top’s winter antiques show and already accepting bookings for the Spring Antique Festival, this property has real income potential. A true diamond in the Texas rough, “The Southern” does not disappoint!

Hard to find 3.5 acres between La Grange and Round Top! Great views, 2 old water wells and lots of space to build a home! There is an old house on the property that could be fixed up as a cute guest house! Possibilities are endless!
