Off Grid Living Just 20 Minutes From Downtown Austin, Texas

While you are dreaming, you might as well dream big. To put it lightly the Austin housing market has been booming in the middle of a pandemic.

This property is a prime example of just how fast things have been moving. The house had a tax assessment of $683,830 in 2017 and is now on the market for almost $3 million dollars.

Granted three million dollars in Texas gets you a lot more house than in most places. This home boasts 4 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 partial bathrooms, and 7,055 square feet on 5 acres.

Huge Home In Hays County Is A Dreamy Austin Retreat 

The Windmill Ceiling Fan in the living room alone is $2000 and made by a local Texas business in Dallas. That ceiling fan runs on electricity collected in the solar panels over the carport along with everything else in the home.

There is also a rainwater catchment system that is supplemented by a well on the property. Free electricity and water might help you pay the over $18,000 a month mortgage right?

I'm not trying to hit you with too many pricing realities that are going to burst your bubble. I just like to imagine who can pay that much a month for a home, and how they got there.
