169 Tall Forest Dr

Custom-built and quietly commanding its setting in the Bastrop Pines, this 5-bedroom, 4-bath retreat spans just over two wooded acres with panoramic views and complete privacy. Created for those who value space and architectural presence, it offers room to live - and room to breathe.

The main level centers around a dramatic great room with soaring wood-wrapped vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a wall of stacked windows framing uninterrupted forest views. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space, while light pours in from every angle. Beneath the same sculptural ceiling line, the dining area glows under a classic candelabra chandelier, balancing rustic texture with modern refinement.

The kitchen is designed for connection: an oversized island with seating, porcelain countertops, statement pendants, custom vent hood, contemporary cabinetry with floating shelving, and high-end stainless appliances - all seamlessly open to the living area.

Privately positioned on the main floor, the primary suite captures long-distance views and features vaulted ceilings, a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, frameless glass shower, dual vanity, designer tile, and a custom walk-in closet. A secondary main-level bedroom with adjacent full bath adds flexibility. Both open onto the entertainer’s covered balcony.

Downstairs, a second living area opens to a covered patio and level lawn. A fully outfitted theater with surround sound, included media equipment, and tiered seating delivers a true cinematic experience. Three additional bedrooms offer thoughtful bath access for comfort and privacy.

The irrigated backyard is level and usable, wrapped in professional landscaping and backed by dense woods for ultimate seclusion. Low 1.69 tax rate top-rated Bastrop ISD, quick access to Hwy 71, five minutes to Bastrop, and about 30 minutes to Downtown Austin. This one is a Must-See – schedule a showing today!
