Sam Carter comes complete with a 4 bedroom 3 bath main house, a 1 bedroom 1 bath guest house, a pool, a 2-car garage/workshop, and the cutest little goat and chicken farm you've ever laid eyes on. Whether you're relaxing by the pool, tending to your farm, enjoying your land, or hosting a gathering, this serene atmosphere will allow you to take a breath. And while being only a stone's throw from Metcalf BBQ is fun, the best part is that you're still only a 10-15 minute drive from downtown Austin. Come enjoy that feeling of having it all!
