Tahitian Village in Bastrop is a beautiful sleeper development that has been around for many years. Just lately there has been renewed interest in the area. Prices on lots are still reasonable compared to other areas. The pines are alluring. The proximity to local amenities like the Pine Forest Golf course that is down on the Colorado River are a draw.  One of the big questions Buyers need to ask when purchasing a lot  is can they get water and sewer service( as well as electric and telephone to the lot they are interested in.    And costs are a factor.  Some of the lots may not be able to get sewer service, now or any time in the near future,  and if that is the case would have to be on a septic system.   Bastrop County has made some changes on permitting septics. Some individual lots ...

With the weather getting so nice now I try to take a break from the office, computer, and phones at lunch time.  Last week I went to one of the local parks in Bastrop.  Fisherman's Park.  On the way I stopped and picked up a sandwich.  One of the great local restrauntsi n the area is  The Roadhouse. They have great food!  (And if you can't head to the park they have a great patio where you can sit under an umbrella and enjoy the day).  Fisherman's Park is nestled below Old Town Bastrop, under the bridge down by the Colorado River.    The park has a baseball diamond, tennis courts, a playing field, great playground, boat dock for the Colorado, two large pavilions with a huge bar-b-que and smoker, picnic tables, large trees, and a well maintained grassy bank where we humans can go down to...

Horse ownership is so rewarding but it can also be heartbreaking, which I understand as a horse owner.  Knowing  this first hand is one of the reasons I work as a  horse property specialist.  I have owned my American Paint Horses for well over 12 years. When working in Colorado specializing in ranch land and horse properties along the Front Range I got to know a wonderful man who lived in Wetmore, Colorado, Virgil Lawson.  Virgil and his family had a large ranch in Wetmore and he had well over 200 horses at any given time.  Virgil was my mentor and over a period of years I was able to negotiate the purchase of 5 mares all sisters and all by the late  Skip Along Paint.  Virgil always teased me that when I bought those mares I bought all the "color" out of his pasture. I bought Skip Along...

This picture was taken on our ranch in Bastrop County almost to the Smithville line.  We are on 26 acres of pasture land surrounded by a large pecan grove on two sides, the Colorado River on the third and a cattle ranch.  When the weather is just right we are very dew-y in the mornings!  I went out to feed and saw this great spider web that looked like it was decorated with tiny gems, and in the background framed are some of my APHA horses,  Bay filly - Dynamic Debutante and Paint Colt - Dynamic Debutt.

With the Internet so much a part of every ones lives, personal or business, it is important that when Buyers are surfing the web looking for  a land investment, and they find something FSBO, on a classified website, or  on Craigslist ,or even Ebay, they understand that there are risks in a purchase without the use of a real estate professional/Realtor, and title/escrow services. An example is Tahitian Village, Bastrop, Bastrop County, Texas.  This development has been around for many years, and is enjoying a revival of interest with it's beautiful pines, great location to Bastrop, access to Pine Forest Golf Course ( one of three local courses), and the Colorado River which winds along the subdivision. With approx. 7000 lots total this subdivision, it is much larger than it seems from Hi...

Tahitian Village offers scheduled  regular "Clean Sweep" days for the residents.  Dumpsters are placed normally at the BCWCID #2 office on Tahitian Drive.  Pine Forest residents may also participate.   This is a great opportunity to get rid of some of that "junk" that might be cluttering your garage! check with BCWCID for the next scheduled pick up date.

Tahitian Village is nestled above the Colorado River in the pines of Bastrop County. The development is not new by any means but it has recently been rediscovered.  Buyers and  Builders have been purchasing vacant lots  for their custom home packages. Consequently there are some lovely homes going up in the area.  Generally the lots are .25 AC in size.   There are a number of "multiple lots" (adjacent) available for Buyers and Builders looking to build a home on a larger lot.  Electric and telephone service , as well as water and sewer (provided by BCWCID #2) are in the street and available for many of the lots but some of the units do not have services yet.  That may come in time with development.  The topo of the subdivision falls away from Highway 71 down to the Colorado River. and o...

New year's eve we had our annual bonfire and firework's get together.Beautiful weather and great friend's made it the best ever. I Love being a Realtor@ in Bastrop County. People here are Great and the area is beautiful. Being just outside Austin gives us the best of rual living but close to Austin, Houston and San Antonio it is a great place for family and friend's. Home price's are going up but are still a bargin as most of my buyer's have come from out of state. Central Texas is an investor's dream at this time.
