340 Mark Young Rd

This 21+/- acres ranch offers an incredible opportunity just five minutes south of Smithville, combining privacy, natural beauty, and excellent location. Tucked away at the end of the road and backing up to a large ranch, the property enjoys a serene and secluded setting that feels worlds away, while remaining close to key amenities. The land features a thoughtful balance of mature tree coverage and open areas, making it well suited for a variety of uses, including an equestrian property, recreational retreat, or private homestead. Wildlife is abundant, and the setting lends itself naturally to hunting and outdoor enjoyment. The property includes a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single-story home built in 2022 in excellent condition, measuring over 1,950 sq ft, a picturesque pond, adding to the charm and usability of the land. You’ll find many thoughtful touches both inside and outside the home. Exterior highlights include Sheryl Stringer gas lanterns and 100-year-old Hand Hewn Barn Beams creating a welcoming atmosphere. While the property offers flexibility for a variety of uses, light restrictions are in place to maintain the integrity and character of the land. These include reasonable guidelines for residential construction, livestock management, and land use, along with existing easements for access and utilities. The property has excellent access off Highway 95, just a short drive from Bastrop, approximately 45 minutes to the airport, and one hour to downtown Austin. Properties with this level of privacy, natural appeal, and proximity to key Central Texas destinations are becoming increasingly rare, making this an exceptional opportunity in the Smithville area.
