About this property

Nestled among whispering Loblolly pines on the sought-after Copeland Hill Road, this property is a true gem for those with vision and creativity. It’s the ideal setting for someone ready to build their own dream home while enjoying the peaceful charm of a rustic “cabin in the woods.” The existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath country cottage with a loft offers cozy character and a warm, welcoming vibe. While the home does need some handyman-style fixes, it’s well-suited for the buyer who wants to live on-site during construction and later restore the cabin to its original charming self—as a guest house, rental, or personal retreat. Facing East and West, the home offers sunrise and sunset views from each porch, with a full-length back patio ready to be transformed into a serene outdoor living space. With approximately 1,260 sq ft, the structure provides a solid starting point for your vision—whether you choose to renovate, restore, or reimagine entirely. The acreage gives you space to breathe, build, and grow. With light restrictions designed to preserve the area’s natural appeal while offering flexibility, this land is your blank canvas. The ideal buyer is someone who can see past the immediate and imagine it done their way. Located in the Smithville school district and just minutes from the vibrant downtowns of Smithville and Bastrop, and within easy reach of Austin, ABIA, and I-10 via HWY 71, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Location, privacy, and endless potential—this is more than just a property, it's a rare opportunity.
