Welcome to a convenient, yet hidden oasis on 17 and a half acres currently zoned ag. You will enter the property on a paved road, through an electric gate, then follow the circle drive past the piped fenced garden up to the 3 bed / 2 bath, 1,756 sq. ft. traditional farmhouse. The over sized custom rock fireplace and original charm carried throughout are sure to please. Floor to ceiling windows make up the entire rear wall of the dining room taking full advantage of the beautiful view overlooking the newly reconstructed 1.5 acre stocked fishing pond and surrounding woods. The pond was completely drained in the summer of 2019, dug out to over 20 feet deep, and we introduced over 3,500 copper-nose, 1,500 red-ear, and 30# of fathead minnows to create a trophy fishery. The St. Augustine yard has a sprinkler system and professionally installed Bur Oaks and Sycamore trees for shade. Located next to the farmhouse is a 1 bed / 1 bath, 605 sq. ft guest cottage built in 2016 with an attached 487 sq. ft carport. New 550 sq. ft hay/equipment shed built in 2017, pipe working pens with custom working chute and separate loading chute, metal barn with enclosed tack room, attached hay storage, and a two-stall lean-to. The property slopes down to a river rock covered creek with large Pecan, Oak, and Sycamore trees. Trees line each perimeter fence creating privacy. Post Oak trees dot the coastal Bermuda and rye grass pastures. Just off the working pens is a cross fenced pasture with another lean-to surrounded by trees. The hen parlor has a large nesting area that is enclosed and ventilated with an outdoor run. The two drop-down windows allow easy access from the outside for gathering your eggs for a mornings breakfast. One water well servicing the house, barn, and garden was installed in 2015 with a second water well dedicated to the pond for a constant water level and aeration which was installed in 2017. New septic system installed in 2016. New 5-ton air conditioner installed in 2019. The location makes it an easy 10-minute commute to downtown Brenham, 20 minutes to Navasota, and 40 minutes to Texas A&M University.
