Underwood Ranch, west of Austin, now selling for $23.5M

“The Underwood Ranch is an executive property that offers an abundance of variety, beauty, and character. Its versatility allows for numerous possibilities, such as serving as a family or corporate retreat, event venue, horse/cattle ranch, or even future development, or just a great place to raise a family. One thing is certain: every time you pass through the gates of this premier ranch, it will bring a smile to your face,” the listing reads.

The ranch is one hour away from Austin and is on Highway 281.

The “crown jewel” of Underwood Ranch is undoubtedly the single-story four-bedroom, four-bathroom, and three-half-bathroom main residence. Driving to the home, guests will pass a lit fountain in a lake. Stepping out to the grand porte cochere, which is at one of the highest points of the ranch, offers amazing views of the sunset.

Stepping into the home, visitors will find two commercially equipped kitchens, a spacious great room with a huge free-standing bar, a dining area, and a heated and cooled five-car garage, according to the listing. The home also has a generator to battle power outages. And did I forget to mention that exquisite granite counters are throughout the home?

A walkover from the main home will take homeowners to the barndominium that has two separate living areas, three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a covered parking area. Close to the property entrance is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom foreman’s/guest house.

An insulated metal building has an office, three bathrooms, a fire-proof safe room, epoxy flooring, and a giant storage area that currently holds a motorcycle and car collection. Underwood Ranch also has eight lakes and ranches with bass fishing enthusiasts.

Hunters will love this ranch, there is a “superior” whitetail deer herd that was created by bringing in genetically selected does to complement the native deer that is already on the property. The land is also home to Axis deer, black buck, antelope, red stag, dove, turkey, ducks, and Symitar horn oryx, the listing states.
