A Hidden Gem Near Homestead Heritage – Ideal for Homesteaders!

By
Real Estate Agent with ASK FOR DEB! Stanberry Realtors 0553954

As a Texas Realtor who specializes in homesteading properties, I was recently inspired by the incredible energy at the Homestead Heritage Conference 2025. Located just north of Waco, this community is a shining example of sustainable, values-driven living—and it got me thinking about real estate opportunities nearby.

👉 I blogged about it here:

While exploring the area after the event, I came across a standout listing that I knew fellow homesteaders and lifestyle buyers would love:

📍 8896 Gholson Rd, Waco, TX 76705
🔗 View the listing on Realtor.com


🔹 Property Features:

  • 7+ acres with AG Exempt status – a huge plus for aspiring homesteaders

  • Remodeled 1958 home – updated and full of charm

  • 20x30 workshop with 220V – ideal for a home-based craft or trade

  • Great location – just outside the Homestead Heritage entrance, north of Waco

  • Price Recently Reduced – opportunity awaits!


Why This Area is Special

Homestead Heritage isn’t just a location—it’s a lifestyle. From their commitment to traditional crafts and farming to the strong sense of community, it's the kind of place that draws people who want something more meaningful out of life.

If you're looking to start a small homestead, set up a workshop, or just enjoy wide-open Texas skies, this property is worth a look. As someone who understands both real estate and the homesteading mindset, I’d love to help you explore options like this one.

It was an impressive community that spoke to me when I was there for the conference, so looking to see what might be on the market that would interest me was how it started.  Then the blog just rolled out!
