THE PROPERTY

Get to know the property.

Find your peace in the rolling hills of Smithville! This charming single-story home features three bedrooms and two baths, perfectly positioned among mature oaks to offer the quiet seclusion and wide-open Bastrop County skies you’ve been looking for. Living in the Smithville area means having space to breathe and this property delivers that with a landscape of mature post oak trees and a setting that is currently eligible for a wildlife property tax exemption. Because the land attracts local deer, turkey, and a variety of birds, the property feels like a private park while remaining just 15 minutes from the shops and dining in downtown Smithville. This home features brick on all four sides and a durable metal roof. You can rest easy knowing the big ticket items are taken care of, the HVAC and water heater are just a few years old (2022), and the addition of leafguard gutters means one less thing on your weekend to-do list. As you walk through the front door, the living room serves as the central hub, with vaulted ceilings and a classic brick fireplace. The large windows here frame peaceful views of the acreage, bringing the outdoors inside. Directly off the living room, the floor plan opens into a dedicated dining space and the kitchen, creating an easyflow for daily meals and hosting guests. The bedrooms are situated on the opposite side of the living room for added privacy. The primary suite is spacious, featuring an attached ensuite bathroom with a soaking bathtub. Two additional bedrooms are located nearby and share a well-appointed second bathroom and tile flooring runs throughout, making the home easy to maintain. The location is only 20 minutes from the shops and dining in Bastrop and roughly 37 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. This pocket of Smithville offers a rare balance of true rural privacy and proximity to the growing corridor of Central Texas.

Annual insurance starts at purchase price × 0.25%, rounded to the nearest available amount. Updates with purchase price until you choose another amount.A planning estimate, not an insurance quote. Adjust it for your property and coverage.

How this scenario is calculated

Annual operating income is rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA and other operating costs, before financing and capital reserves. Cap rate divides annual operating income by purchase price. Estimated monthly cash flow assumes an all-cash purchase: rent after vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, other operating costs and capital reserves. No mortgage payment is deducted. The mortgage calculator is separate; loan payments would reduce cash flow for a financed purchase. One-time acquisition costs, renovations, income taxes, depreciation and appreciation are excluded.

Mortgage assumptions

20% down and 7% interest are illustrative starting values.

Estimated monthly principal & interestLoan payment only. Excludes property taxes, homeowners/flood insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues.

About this payment estimate

Based on a fixed-rate, fully amortizing loan with monthly payments and the price, down payment, interest rate and term you select. The interest rate is an example, not a current rate offer or APR; APR includes certain loan costs. This is an illustration, not a Loan Estimate, approval, offer of credit or commitment to lend.

Your actual payment, rate and eligibility depend on your lender, credit, loan program and property. Closing costs, points, prepaid expenses and lender fees are not included. Taxes and insurance may change, and mortgage insurance may be required, particularly with a down payment below 20%. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate and a complete monthly payment including applicable taxes, insurance and fees.

Dollar results are rounded to the nearest cent; calculations retain precision until display. A cash purchase has no loan payment but still has ownership costs. Understand your total home payment (CFPB).
