Some places invite you to slow down before you ever reach the gate. Tucked into New Ulm in Colorado County, this 29.5-acre retreat begins with a quarter-mile drive beneath beautiful clusters of trees and opens to a landscape with two ponds, a creek, wildlife and room to breathe. With a wildlife tax exemption, electricity and water well already in place, the property offers an easy escape—or the beginnings of a full-time country home—just minutes from Brenham, Round Top and Fayetteville. A cargo container with a continuous covered metal extension creates an unfussy gathering spot with party lights, shade and a brick fire pit nearby. The engineered well house is reinforced to double as a storm shelter. An RV will convey with an acceptable offer and terms; otherwise, it may be negotiated separately. Come for the acreage. Stay because somewhere along that quarter-mile drive, the rest of the world gets wonderfully far away.
