About This Home

This is a unique — some would say funky — property! Four acres on TX-21, entirely owner-built and owner-landscaped. The current owner purchased the land in 1978, when the previous owner had set up a retired Austin city bus to use as a hunting cabin. From there, the current owner began building a roughly 2,000 sq ft home around the bus — truly a one-of-a-kind creation. Seeing is believing! A large garage/workshop was added to house a motorcycle repair business (now retired). The garage and home are attached. A separate 1,600 sq ft commercial building facing the highway was gradually constructed during the 2000s. It served as a tavern for a few years and is now operating as a cafe with a deck and patio. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the property is the back two acres, where nature takes center stage. A creek runs through the land, which creates a .25 acre pond perfect for fishing or swimming. A private well irrigates the grass and pond, while the house and cafe are connected to Aqua Water. The house patio is grassy and shaded by mature trees. The back acres feel park-like, with tall trees, a meadow, and a large garden area (or potential home site). The pond attracts fish, turtles, frogs, and birds. Last year, another small pond was added near the parking area, complete with a landscaped lawn leading down to it. If someone was to build a house at the back of this property, they would have one of the nicest front yards in Texas. All construction is unconventional but solid — featuring a hot tub, carports, green room, and multiple sheds.
