Rare 8-acre fully fenced and cross-fenced horse property in Spicewood featuring a cedar log cabin, equestrian facilities, workshop, water well, Generac generator, and panoramic Hill Country views with no HOA. The 1,095 sq ft cedar log home features vaulted ceilings with exposed cedar beams, a limestone skirt, metal roof, central HVAC, and a wood-burning fireplace. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers two private bedroom suites positioned on opposite sides of the home, each with its own full bath. One bedroom includes a separate exterior entrance, providing flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or a private office. Enjoy scenic views from every room and from the covered front porch. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and propane hookup for a gas range. A covered back porch provides washer/dryer hookups and access to a fenced dog yard. A Generac generator supplies backup power to both the home and water well. Designed with horse owners in mind, the property includes a metal barn with center aisle, three stalls, feed bay, tack/storage room, Dutch doors, wash rack, cross-tie stations, electrical service throughout, and adjustable stall dividers. The sand-based riding pen offers dedicated space for training and exercising horses. Additional improvements include a large metal garage/workshop with five roll-up doors, high ceilings, interior and exterior lighting, concrete driveway, underground electric service, private water well, septic system, multiple gated access points, and extensive fencing throughout the property. Brick walkways crafted from reclaimed historic Houston street bricks add unique character and craftsmanship to the grounds. This horse-ready Hill Country retreat offers privacy, functionality, and authentic Texas charm with room to live, work, ride, and enjoy the outdoors.
Spicewood, located between Lake Travis and the Pedernales River, is a Hill Country and lakeside Marble Falls neighborhood with winding ranch roads and limestone bluffs. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Spur 191 and TX-71 junction, where roadside barbecue, a general-store feel, and live-music patios set the pace. Community pillars include Opie’s Barbecue, Spicewood Vineyards, and Krause Springs. Architecture leans to ranch-style homes, modern Hill Country builds, and lake-area retreats with big porches and metal roofs. Days revolve around water access, scenic drives, and trail time in the Balcones Canyonlands. Evenings track toward tasting rooms and low-key outdoor gathering spots.
