Just a short drive from Bastrop down Highway 304 you will come to 535 and The Wagon Wheel Gas Station - a great place to grab a slice of pizze or a burger and gas up. Right next door is The Owl a dynamite western wear store that always has awesome prices and seasonal sales! If you head east on 535 you will drive thru Rosanky Texas which at one point was a booming little rail town established in the mid 1800s as support to the local agricultural community. Nowdays you will find a community center, churches, post office, local mom and pop store, and some historical sites nestled in the middle of some beautiful farm and ranch properties.
A community known for it's beautiful farm and ranch land Paige Texas is located just about 12 miles from Bastrop on Highway 21 and east of Austin and Elgin on Highway 290. Horse enthusiasts like the sandy loam soil you can find in and around Paige, and there are lots of small gentleman's ranches as well as larger cattle operations in the area and is definitely a place to enjoy nature and the local wildlife which includes lots of different birds, deer, possum, raccoons, and the occasional wild hog.
Elgin Texas is in the northern part of Bastrop County and is about 26 miles east of Austin on Highway 290. Elgin is well known for it's spicy sausage as well as it's brick mfg. businesses. It is also quite popular as a "bedroom" community to Austin offering an easy commute, and less congestion than city living with it's rural residential properties and farms and ranches. One of the best equine vets in Central Texas is located in Elgin and the area is very popular for horse enthusiasts.
Delhi TX has always been a strong farm and ranch community, located about half way between Lockhart in Caldwell County and Bastrop in Bastrop County - just past the blinking lights at the corner of Highways 304 and 713. In it's hay day Delhi was much bigger than the church, community center and fire house that are there now. The local commerce has since succumbed to the amenities that the larger city stores have to offer, especially since you can hop in your hybrid SUV and run to town in less than 20 minutes versus a half day horse and wagon trip! There are beautiful farm and ranch properties in the area that are perfect for summer getaways or year round living.
Alum Creek is a community with lots of history that is located about half way between the towns of Bastrop and Smithville south east of Austin along Highway 71. Around the time Stephen F. Austin settled Bastrop County seven families moved in to the area along Alum Creek and some descendants of those original settlers still live in the area on some of the beautiful ranches and in some of the neighboring subdivisions. With a country feel and being close to amenities in the neighboring towns the Alum Creek area has lots to offer.
