Elgin, TX 78621
$N/A
Tucked just blocks from the heart of Elgin, this 3.3-acre property offers something increasingly rare: space to grow, land to create, and the freedom to imagine what comes next. Built in 1955, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends small-town convenience with the feel of a private homestead.
Fresh interior paint throughout gives the home a clean, updated canvas, while the land opens the door to countless possibilities. Create an urban farm, establish a food forest or orchard, raise livestock, keep horses or design expansive gardens just minutes from downtown. With two separate access points from Old McDade Road and Maple Lane, the property also offers exceptional flexibility for future expansion.
Whether you’re dreaming of multi-generational living, adding an ADU, workshop, guest quarters, or even exploring subdivision potential, this property is uniquely positioned to evolve alongside your lifestyle. There’s ample room for a pool, outdoor entertaining spaces, additional structures, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy that comes with acreage in town.
A property with room for both roots and reinvention — all within walking distance to downtown Elgin.
