Imagine standing on the deck of a spectacular home, custom built with massive Douglas Fir logs, imported from British Colombia. On the deck you are overlooking your huge, deep, clear lake. You might think you are in Colorado, but the Cross Bar Ranch is an incredible 343 acres, just 45 minutes northwest of Austin and 15 minutes south of Lampasas. Rolling topography with good elevation changes and big views, but not rugged. The ranch is high-fenced and is home to elk, oryx, axis, black buck antelope, white fallow, red stag, and white tail deer. There is a Parks and Wildlife MLD permit in place. The land has been cleared of much of the cedar and has a good cover of hardwoods. Miller Creek meanders through the ranch and a multi-acre lake (owner says over 25+ acres) is stocked with bass and crappie. The crown jewel of the ranch is the magnificent 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath custom log home, sitting on a hill and overlooking the lake. Constructed in 2008, everything in the home is first class. The main floor is open, with lots of windows, and is perfect for entertaining. Amenities include a gourmet kitchen, granite counters, slate floors, water treatment system, 7 CACH units, commercial metal roof, game room, and a huge ironwood deck. You can even remotely control the AC units- online from your computer. In addition to the main home there is a 4 year old, 2 bedroom, 2 bath guest house- with beaded ceiling made from aromatic red heart Cedar. Adjoining the guest house is an insulated barn/ workshop. This outstanding executive ranch is worth a look and is ideal for a primary residence, hunting/fishing, recreation, or a corporate/family retreat. Priceless memories await anyone privileged enough to experience the Cross Bar Ranch.
