Description

Welcome to Balch Ranch, a one-of-a-kind Texas ranch estate set on 25.62 picturesque acres just outside Elgin. This exceptional property blends brand-new 2025 construction with authentic country living, offering outstanding versatility for a private homestead, multi-generational living, income-producing guest quarters, or an equestrian retreat. The main residence, completed in 2025, offers approximately 3,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 12-foot coffered ceilings, designer lighting, and an expansive open-concept layout. Premium finishes include brazilian quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, LED lighting, tinted windows with motorized shades, and energy-efficient upgrades throughout. The chef’s kitchen anchors the heart of the home and flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, ideal for entertaining. The primary suite provides a private retreat with luxe porcelain tile, dual vanity areas, a spa-inspired walk-in shower, and an expansive custom walk-in closet. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a covered patio featuring cedar ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings and year-round gatherings. A separate guest house built in 2009 offers approximately 1,200 square feet with two bedrooms, one bath, its own electrical meter, and carport—ideal for extended family or rental income. Additional improvements include a large barn, two greenhouse areas with power, a 2,500-gallon water tank, and fenced pastures ready for horses, livestock, or agricultural use. Enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while remaining approximately 40 minutes from Downtown Austin—Balch Ranch offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, and modern construction.
