Some Hill Country properties begin with the house. Big Sandy begins with the land—and a pretty remarkable head start on everything else. Set across approximately 60.62 acres near Johnson City, this distinctive Hill Country retreat was created as a place to get away, gather with friends and enjoy the land. Rather than centering the property around a traditional primary residence, the existing improvements offer a collection of flexible spaces that can be enjoyed now while leaving the future owner free to determine what comes next. The approximately 1,600-square-foot silver barn serves as the heart of the retreat, with two bedrooms, two full baths, a generous kitchen and dining area, soaring ceilings, wood-burning stove and oversized sliding doors that open to the surrounding landscape and evening views. Nearby, the approximately 2,000-square-foot red building offers an open studio-style living area with kitchen and bath, along with a large conditioned flex space currently used for wardrobe and storage, fitness and additional sleeping space. Outdoors, a custom wood-fired sauna, hybrid wood-fired/electric hot tub and deck create an unexpected wellness retreat overlooking the property. Rooftop solar, gated entry, private well and additional infrastructure are already in place. The land is an important part of the story: gently rolling and highly usable terrain, mature oaks, native wildlife, long Hill Country views and memorable western sunsets, with open areas that leave room to imagine how the property might evolve. Big Sandy offers an unusual opportunity—to enjoy an established Hill Country retreat from day one while preserving the freedom to create a future primary residence that is entirely your own. The guest, entertaining and wellness spaces are already here. The next chapter is still yours to design.
