Tucked into the rolling hills of Milam County, this custom built 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on 8.8 acres offers the kind of peaceful country lifestyle buyers are searching for but rarely find. Built in 2005 and thoughtfully positioned beneath mature shade trees, the home welcomes you with a long front porch made for slow mornings, cool breezes, and evenings spent watching the sun set over the pasture. Inside, the 1,176 square foot floor plan was intentionally designed to maximize every inch of space while creating an open, comfortable feel throughout the home. The oversized kitchen serves as the heart of the home with abundant cabinet space, generous prep areas, and an open layout ideal for gathering with family and friends after long days outdoors. Step outside and you'll find a property built for living well - whether that means tending a vegetable garden, collecting fresh eggs, starting a homestead, raising a small cattle herd, or simply enjoying wide open Texas skies and quiet surroundings. The land features beautiful pasture space, native plants, a greenhouse, shop, storage shed, and additional outbuildings that make this property as practical as it is charming. With room to grow, work, create, and breathe, this is the kind of property people move to Central Texas hoping to find. Located in highly sought after Milano ISD, this property offers the best of rural living while remaining within convenient driving distance to Austin, Temple, Taylor's Samsung development, and the rapidly growing Rockdale area. As Central Texas continues to expand, properties with usable acreage, privacy, infrastructure, and proximity to major job growth are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're searching for a forever homestead, weekend retreat, investment opportunity, or a quieter pace of life without sacrificing convenience, this Milam County property offers both lifestyle and long term value in one beautiful package.
