Improvements

House: Built on the property’s highest elevation in 2011 is the custom home which totals 4,600 SF under a reinforced metal roof, and 3,400 SF under HVAC. Designed and constructed with three focuses; aesthetics, functionality, and safety; the houses’ rustic charm and logical layout is complimented by overbuilt details like reinforced doors, alarm systems, and even a storm proof room that protects against 120 mph straight line winds. All four bedrooms are located on the first story of the home. Two of which have large closets, and share a jack and jill bath with individual sinks. The other two bedrooms including the primary also enjoy their own large floorplans with spacious bathrooms and closets. The home’s expansive kitchen and living area open to south-facing windows that frame views of the property’s acreage. Just off the main living area, a well-lit breakfast nook offers an inviting setting for more intimate gatherings. The kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances and complemented by rich, dark granite countertops, reinforcing the home’s refined character. A separate formal dining room accommodates larger gatherings, where dark wood accents and abundant natural light create a warm atmosphere. Bonus rooms in the home include a large office space with built-in wooden accents including a custom filing cabinet, an inviting large back porch patio with a fire pit as well as a space prepared for an outdoor kitchen, mudroom & hallway, laundry room, wet bar area, and detached home gym garage. There is also an unfinished second floor room totaling 360SF that could be used for a bedroom, game, or living area. Akin to the attention to detail in the rest of the house the extras and amenities in this house are of top end quality. The house has wired in Soffit lighting receptacles and a suite of gas powered improvements including stoves, heaters, ovens, and water heaters. Two HVAC systems cover the house allowing for efficient heating and cooling. Just outside the home’s fenced area are orange, lemon, plum, and pear trees, a drip irrigated garden, and an outdoor dog pen. Shop: Located behind the house is a 1,500 SF shop. This building, like the main house, was intentionally designed with a small built-in kitchen and bathroom, as well as a walk-in game cooler that only needs refrigeration to function. The building has interior lighting, two large barn doors, and a considerable amount of built in organization and storage structures.

Area History

Tucked just west of Bellville along the fertile terraces above the Brazos River, the Burleigh area reflects the quiet agricultural backbone of Austin County. First shaped by early German and Czech settlers in the mid-1800s, this landscape evolved into a patchwork of cattle ranches, row crops, and homesteads supported by rich alluvial soils and reliable water access. Today, Burleigh remains a timeless representation of Texas ranching heritage—where productive land, deep-rooted history, and proximity to Houston continue to drive long-term value.
