**YOU CAN BUY 50 ACRES.
YOU CAN BUILD A HOUSE.
BUT IT TAKES YEARS TO BUILD A RANCH LIKE THIS.**
📍 **3648 Talbert Ranch Road | China Spring, Texas**
**$1,899,000 | 50.44 Acres | China Spring ISD**
This isn't simply a home with acreage. It's an established Texas ranch where the hard work — and the expensive infrastructure — has already been done.
At the end of a paved dead-end road, a concrete drive winds beneath mature oak trees and opens to a custom-built ranch home surrounded by approximately 50 private acres.
The 3,354-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2½ baths plus a flex room, two living areas, real walnut hardwood floors, granite countertops, double ovens, a large pantry and a massive double-sided Austin stone fireplace.
And then there's the porch.
A true **four-sided wraparound porch** gives you a place to sit and look out over the land from every direction.
But this property really separates itself when you step outside.
