A Secluded South Texas Ranch with Timeless Craftsmanship
and Natural Beauty

Some properties offer beautiful land. Others offer
remarkable homes. At 573 FM 799 in George West, Texas, you will discover both.

Tucked away approximately half a mile from the road, this
exceptional custom-built ranch home enjoys a secluded setting surrounded by
77.06 acres of rolling South Texas countryside. Built around 1978 by respected
local builder Butch Kaasse, the expansive 4,304-square-foot brick residence
reflects a level of craftsmanship, warmth and architectural character that
continues to distinguish it today.

Majestic live oak trees spread their branches across the
grounds, creating a peaceful setting where deer and other native wildlife are
frequently observed. From the spacious covered patio, enjoy quiet mornings
watching wildlife move through the property, a feature especially treasured by
the current owners.

With scattered palms, two earthen stock tanks, established
trails and thoughtfully developed improvements, this Live Oak County ranch
offers a beautiful balance of privacy, recreation and country living.

Interior | A Home Built with Character and Purpose

ceilings, substantial exposed beams and warm brick accents that create a rich,
inviting atmosphere.

wood-burning fireplace constructed from collected petrified wood. More than an
architectural feature, it is a beautiful expression of the home’s history and
individuality.

The spacious kitchen has been opened to the adjoining living
areas, creating an open-concept design that brings the heart of the home
together. Generous windows overlook the surrounding grounds, bringing natural
light and views of the ranch into everyday living.
