100-acre ranch with beautiful creek, ponds, woods, livestock

—————————————————————
All bookings are separated with a 1-night vacancy. This allows time for cleaning the large property, and the potential for early checkin by our guests.
—————————————————————

Bellheim lies in the rolling hills of the Texas Bluebonnet Country, one hour west of Houston, on a 100-acre ranch offering peaceful, scenic views and outdoor activity. The house is two stories (1,700 sq ft), with beds for 11 and thick foam mattresses and bedding for an additional 4 (or very comfortable bunk beds for 4 down at Hog Heaven cabin).

The master bedroom is downstairs. Two bedrooms are upstairs. Each level has a bath. The house has free wireless, internet (wifi). (SEE CAPTIONS UNDER PICTURES FOR BED ARRANGEMENTS.)

The Bellheim ranch is located on a country road 3.5 miles outside of Bellville. 1/2 mile of Piney Creek flows through it—a beautiful sandy-bottom, clear-water creek. The best way to describe Piney: a giant sandbox with clear water running through it! Children love it; they play in it for hours!

For all 3 TVs in the house, Roku voice remotes are used to select content from internet streaming services, or air-cast from your personal device. Select from a vast array of free services or from your own subscription service. Use your voice when selecting a streaming service (Roku remotes provide this technology for all TVs). Simple instructions are provided: for example, say “launch Netflix”, or "find kid TV shows," or "find all Clint Eastwood movies," or "find It's a Wonderful Life movie." You’ll be amazed. Bellheim is a blend of high-tech and amazing outdoors!

Or switch any TV to LiveTV with a selection of over 128 Houston broadcast channels, including all four major networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC).

Secluded in the woods along Piney Creek is a custom-built cabin called Hog Heaven. It’s powered by the sun using a 2925 watt solar array. A highly efficient heat-pump provides A/C, or propane heater for heating. You are sure to be impressed as you solve all the problems of the world relaxing in Hog Heaven and watching your children play in clear, sandy-bottom Piney Creek! FREE DAY USE!! Overnight for $30/nt. FREE OVERNIGHT STAYS when booking for 14 people! For a Hog Heaven video, go to YouTube and search for "Hog Heaven Cabin".

AFFORDABLE. FREE BOAT USAGE (row boat and peddle boat).

Outdoor activities include:

-- Two ponds for fishing, swimming and boating (row boat & pedal boat provided, including life vests). CATCH & RELEASE fishing only (large bass, perch, catfish).
-- Acres of wildflowers around the house when in season (Bluebonnets, Texas Stars, Black-eyed Susan). Season is March to mid-April.
-- Fire up the large BBQ pit on the outdoor deck (just bring charcoal).
-- There's a ping pong table in the garage, setup and ready to play.
-- Roast your Smores and other favorites on the fire pit down at the windmill.
-- Enjoy solar-powered Hog Heaven cabin deep in the woods along Piney Creek (1 MILE FROM HOUSE). Play the owl CD at Hog Heaven. Giant owls will come and join in!
-- Enjoy 1/2 mile of sandy-bottom Piney Creek for fishing and swimming (1 MILE FROM HOUSE).
-- Explore miles of trails (throughout the 100 acres) with your four-wheeler (ATV, side-by-side) or bicycle.

Hog Heaven cabin is down at Piney Creek, 1 MILE FROM THE HOUSE, set back in the woods, accessible by car, AWAY FROM IT ALL! ****YES, EVEN AWAY FROM THE INTERNET!!**** There are bunk beds for 4 (bring your own linens) and sleeping bags for 3. Next to it is the best little (bug free) outhouse in Texas (give it a try!). ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED! OVERNIGHT STAYS REQUIRE AN ADULT.

There are Bellheim Springs that feeds our smaller (spring) pond.

To rent a 4-person UTV for exploring the trails, contact "WC Tractor, 5435 Hwy 290 E, Brenham, TX." Or rent an ATV from "ATV 4x4 Adventure Rentals in Houston." The first option is much cheaper.

Cattle roam the back 90 acres. Pets ages 1 year or over are welcome. Pet fee required.

Had an amazing week staying here. Plenty of room. Beds were comfy, and we loved sitting on the porch every morning sipping coffee and listening to the birds. I loved that everything was well labeled, and there were historical write ups for the house. Wdefinitely want to come back!

Had it all
This was a great property! There was so much to do onsite that our teens were never on a phone. We fished, played horseshoes, had a campfire, explored the land, had a ping pong tournament, paddle boated, row boated, and cooked a great steak dinner. We even had eggs delivered form the next door neighbor that we enjoyed for breakfast. Everything was clean and clearly laid out. Easy drive for Houston and our friends joined from Dallas. Highly recommend!

7 Years and Counting….
Our family has been enjoying Bellheim for 7 years now, and we don’t have any plans to stop coming! Every year is just as great as the last. Our group of 9 ranges from age 10 to age 87. There is something for everyone, and plenty of space. Every detail has been thought of for you by Kermit, and it makes staying here SO easy. Our family looks forward to returning every year. 5 stars, highly recommended :)

Great for family
We needed a place to stay for six adults and a puppy for a weekend wedding. This place was fantastic. While we didn't get a chance to enjoy all the amenities, we were able to go for walks and generally relax before heading to the wedding venue. I absolutely endorse this home for anyone looking for extra space to spread out.

Always a perfect stay. Sad to see the storm damage around the place, but only because I know the place so well. The kidding missed the swing, but still had a great time. I miss the water tank. No impact to our amazing stay! The ladies always enjoy making jam at your place. Thank You!

A great adventure
We had an amazing stay at Bellheim. The property felt like home with several adventurous twists. The seclusion of Hog Heaven was amazing and provided us with memories we will always treasure. The property is well maintained and offers plenty of activities. We caught a couple large mouth bass and saw plenty of wildlife. We highly recommend this property.

Great family time
Another year at the Ranch. All of the family enjoyed our time again this year. We took big floats and everyone loved the crisp spring water to cool off. The kids did some fishing and another grandchild caught her first fish there. As always the house was clean and had plenty of supplies. We had a few of the guys stay down at Hog Heaven and had a good time. The air conditioning works great in the cabin. They said it was quite comfortable. Overall the trip was another success.
