Escape to the Lost Pines! ~ Discover this unique lodge-style cabin nestled on 26 acres of breathtaking Loblolly pines and scattered oaks, offering unparalleled privacy and seclusion. The cabin has served the past two owners as a cherished weekend retreat, but would also be a lovely primary residence, short term rental or enchanting event venue. The original owner created a 3-hole golf course and the fairway still exists if you get the urge to tee one up! An abundance of windows lets the natural light pour in and gives the impression you’re in a treehouse surrounded by Loblolly pines. Reclaimed long leaf pine floors and trim, complimented by beamed trusses, add to the natural charm. The cabin boasts two wings, one with heart of the home, with the kitchen, dining, living areas, and screen porch on one end, and two bedrooms and baths on the other wing of the cabin. The living room’s focal point is an impressive stone fireplace to enjoy the cool evenings. The bright kitchen blends concrete counters, vibrant red cabinets and decorative colored tiles for an eclectic look. Crafted with ironstone columns and wood siding, the cabin seamlessly blends into its wooded environment. The property is one of the highest elevations in Bastrop County and offers long, panoramic views and star gazing captured from a third story observation tower. Conveniently located within 45 minutes of Austin, and minutes away from COTA, the historic cities of Bastrop and Smithville and within 2 hours of San Antonio and Houston.
