The country abode is located just north of the town of Liberty Hill, Tx, or 30 miles northwest of the Lone Star capitol city of Austin, Tx. The 3br/2ba home with 1,724 square feet sits on just under 2.5 acres in the highly acclaimed Liberty Hill Independent School District. The owners have decided to load up and explore our glorious country via recreational vehicle so everything in and out of the home is negotiable. This includes all furniture, appliances, vehicles, lawn maintenance gear, etc, right down to each of the feathered-friends! Ideal property for 4H-ers, FFA-ers or anyone trying to escape the City life!
Distressed by design, real wood floors will greet you upon entry to the home. The kitchen is plenty big with ample amounts of cabinets and easily accommodates a farm-sized table . All three bedrooms are above average in size, including a Texas-sized master bedroom! Cozy up to the rock-walled fireplace on those cool, hill country evenings.
The owners have tried to place this property on a path to self-sustainability. In the back 'yard', you will find two separate garden areas, one with a higher fence than the other. A compost bin and a clothes line are also available to you. A new, complete rain gutter system was installed to keep water away from the home foundation and to supply 2 rain water barrels with 110 gallons of water, an excellent resource during drought conditions.
Both the front and back pastures are fenced, which keeps animals separate from the main area of the residence. Gates are available into both pastures for easy vehicle access. The chickens currently free range and coop up with ease at dusk. There are two separate coop areas that can be separated, if needed. While they currently only have 8 chickens, the coop areas could easily handle another 4 birds. The 7 hens will produce an average of about 2.5 dozen eggs per week, nothing like farm-fresh eggs! An area has also been designed with dairy goats in mind that includes a milking stand.
For the bird watchers, the front porch view will bring hummingbirds, blue jays, cardinals white-winged doves and roadrunners into your sight.
Once you have harvested from your garden, collected eggs and completed your daily milking rounds, head out to the trees where apples, pears and pecans await you, presuming the ever-curious deer haven't beaten you to nature's munchies.
This home is in move-in ready condition. Built in 1980, the owners have gone to quite an expense to improve areas which may not be easily visible, but much needed for a pier and beam home. All new, correctly done cement piers were installed less than 2 years ago. The foundation was vented to all proper below-surface air flow. A new floor and all new valves were added to the laundry area. The header beam which supports the entire width of the front porch was replaced in the past year.
