Below are current homes for sale in Smithville, TX with a pool. Smithville sits in Bastrop County about 30-45 minutes east of Austin, and it’s one of the few places in this price range where you can still get a real yard and room for a pool without giving up small-town character. The town grew up around the old MK&T (Katy) Railroad, and its historic downtown square, the Railroad Depot Museum, and James H. Long Railroad Park still anchor the community. Two miles northwest, Buescher State Park sits in the Lost Pines — a stand of loblolly pine that grows nowhere else this far west in Texas — connected by scenic Park Road 1C to Bastrop State Park.
Given Central Texas summers, a pool isn’t a luxury add-on here so much as a practical feature, especially on the larger Smithville lots where there’s actual room to put one in. I’m Robbie English, REALTOR and Broker at Uncommon Realty, and I’d be glad to walk you through what’s currently on the market and what to look for in an older pool’s condition and equipment before you make an offer.
Nearby Bastrop County options
Smithville is zoned to Smithville ISD, and it’s worth knowing this market is smaller than nearby Bastrop, so inventory with a pool can be limited at any given time. If you don’t find the right fit here, I’d also point you toward Bastrop itself, about 13 miles away, or Tahitian Village, a golf-course community along the Colorado River that tends to have more pool listings on any given day. Whichever town you land on, get pre-approved first, or search all current listings if you’d rather widen the net beyond Bastrop County.
