THE HOME, IN THE LISTING AGENT’S WORDS

A closer look.

Charming Hilltop Retreat with Main Home & Guest House on Nearly 4 Acres – Smithville School District. Discover peaceful country living just minutes from town in this rare find: a spacious 1,849 sq ft main home (built 2012) paired with a modern 850 sq ft guest house (built 2018). This property won't stay on the market long! Nestled in a quiet, low-traffic hidden subdivision atop a scenic hill, the home sits at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac on almost 4 acres of fully fenced and cross-fenced land. Enjoy privacy and tranquility with mature small-to-medium loblolly pines and oaks dotting the grounds—perfect for nature lovers or those seeking space to roam. Location is ideal: outside city limits (no city taxes!), yet conveniently close to shopping, medical facilities, employment, and all essential amenities. Families will appreciate assignment to the desirable, smaller Smithville school district.
