The Space:
The outside is calling, but so is the inside. This 3,929 square foot, 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is filled with classic wood floors, Saltillo tiles, limestone fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling stone, and covered verandas with splashes of modern art and modern amenities throughout. Each individual suite has been styled with comfort in mind and can sleep up to 12 guests in total.

Don’t pack any hustle or bustle. Located amongst the pine-oak forest just outside of Bastrop sits Tarcoola Ranch, a 5-acre waterfront ranchette nestled on the banks of the Colorado River. Surrounded by the privacy of nature, this home is the perfect hill country getaway to relax and recharge.

Whether you want to whip something up or warm something up, the kitchen has got you covered. 2 ovens, 2 sinks, and a dedicated coffee area make this fully loaded kitchen a chef’s dream! The walk-in pantry and attached laundry room include yet another sink and more storage for all your grubbing and scrubbing needs.

This living room is not messing around. Located on the main entry level, you might not even notice the 75” wall-mounted TV, with the incredible views out of the expansive glass windows. Looking out over the covered deck, you’ll see the water beckoning you, but you’ll need to take in the surround sound speakers, enormous fireplace wall and built-in bookcases first. Adjacent to the living room is a large dining table that seats 8, with bar stools for overflow (or introverts) at the bar.

We put the flex in “flex space.” The game room is located on the lower level and shows off with its pool table, wet bar, fireplace, 65" TV, pub table, and multiple doors out to the covered patio, lawn, and access to the riverfront.

Nature awaits! After you’ve ooh-ed and ahh-ed inside, step out into the lush pastures, native trees, fields of wildflowers, and almost 1,200 feet of riverfrontage. With multiple outdoor spaces and expansive decks, you’ll have prime opportunities to spot the 5 longhorn cattle that share the land while entertaining both indoors and out.

Have a g'day and g'night here. Don’t wait to reserve. Your retreat awaits!

Getting Around:
Swim, fish, tube, or kayak along the Bastrop-Wilbarger Paddling Trail. The 14.3-mile riparian corridor welcomes your paddling adventures with amazing birding and fishing opportunities, given the diversity of plant and animal life along this stretch of the Colorado River.
