About the host

Hosted by Hershel and Becky Sandifer

Host profile image

Hershel, a commercial construction project manager, has a passion for working his land and restoring classic cars, jukeboxes, and vintage Coke machines. He also loves cooking up catfish and crawfish for large gatherings. Becky, a semi-retired executive leadership coach, finds joy in cruising the open seas and spending quality time with her four grandchildren. Together, they share a love for cheering on the University of Texas football team.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a property close to Austin with plenty of space for privacy, so we purchased 10 acres in Bastrop County close to COTA and the airport. Hershel built this beautiful home and continues to find new ways to enhance it. He never misses an opportunity to put his tractor and backhoe to good use!

What makes this property unique

This property is truly special, offering plenty of space for everyone to gather together or break off into smaller groups for different activities. The large outdoor movie screen and projector are perfect for a night swim or relaxing in the pool while enjoying a movie. You can unwind in the hot tub, grill steaks in the outdoor kitchen and bar area while watching your favorite sports, or simply enjoy some downtime.

Kids can play foosball or enjoy outdoor games, and if it rains, there's a spacious covered area to stay dry. On chilly nights, the outdoor fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, while the fire pit provides the perfect spot for group conversations under the stars. Inside the house, the game room offers a pool table, darts, and a large TV for family movie nights, with plenty of films to choose from. Board games are also available for fun family bonding.

Down by the pond, you’ll find a covered patio with an outdoor fire pit—perfect for telling ghost stories. The Texas drought has finally caused our pond to dry up so no fishing until rain comes our way and we will restock. You can also explore the 10 acres on the golf cart for a unique adventure.

The well-stocked kitchen includes all the small appliances needed to prepare a gourmet meal, and with five comfortable bedrooms and three bathrooms, there's plenty of space to relax and recharge. Whether you’re enjoying outdoor activities or indoor entertainment, this property promises a memorable stay!
