Welcome to Rust Bucket Farm, a charming Texas estate that beautifully blends history, craftsmanship, and country living. It feels straight off the cover of Southern Living Magazine! The lovely 1917 home, reconstructed in the 1990s, offers 3119 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a dramatic double staircase, music room, and preserved some original wood floors. Improvements include a massive 30x100 barn with additional wings, a delightful garden shed with sink perfect for a studio or office, a detached shed, and productive Tifton 85 hay pasture. The land is truly beautiful, with over 465 mature hardwood trees, a private drive, and a seasonal pond with a bridge leading to its own island. Peaceful and private on a quiet county road, yet close to Taylor, Elgin, and Austin, this property is a rare opportunity to own a true Texas homestead.
