About this property
100-acre ranch with beautiful creek, ponds, woods, livestock
————————————————————— Effective January 1, 2027 Bellheim will suspend rental operation. It is part of a family trust and most of us are in our 80s and late 70s, basically aging out maintaining such an extensive property. We have many valued repeats, and we've much appreciated that. Thank you all so much. —————————————————————
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 propane grill on the outdoor deck. -- 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.

We enjoyed the living, dining, and outdoor decks. The home was very comfortable and well equipped. Owner and VRBO did a great job with presentation, information and arrangements.
We had an amazing time at Bellheim. The property is well taken care of and never ran out of things to do or places to explore on the property. Will most definitely visit again.
We had so much fun at Bellheim! Beautiful property and the owners think of everything you could possibly want and need. Very clean and the Hog Heaven cabin was a big hit with the kids. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back for a 4th time!!Grant G
My family of 6 (and 2 dogs) stayed for 3 nights for our Spring Break escape. We all loved it and never ran out of things to do! Highlights for our family included exploring the land, fishing and swimming, darts and ping pong, and the pedal boat! We hope to return
Just as enjoyable as the first time we went. The trees, scenery and well kept grounds are impeccable. We look forward to going every year if we can. I also like that Kermit always keeps you abreast of any event that may come up and affect your stay at bellheim. Great place to be!
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!
We had a wonderful and relaxing getaway. The house and property were very well maintained and organized. We really enjoyed the screened in front porch at the cabin and all the trails we could explore along Piney Creek.
We love Belheim. A beautiful property that greets you with warmth and treats you like family. Kermit is a wonderful host. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with our family!
We had such a relaxing weekend here. Everything was so perfect, from the time we reserved our reservation to the time of us leaving to go home. The house and property was so beautiful and quiet. Would love to come back again.
Beautiful property, adorable house, one weekend wasn’t enough!
We loved our stay at Bellheim! Mr. Grof was very friendly and accommodating, had great communication and obviously takes great pride in his home and land. We didn’t feel like a short weekend was enough to enjoy the whole property! We’ll definitely want to plan a return trip!
Our family gathers every year to celebrate three birthdays at a location that meets the needs of several age groups. Bellheim provided a relaxing experience & numerous activities to keep the younger family members entertained. The owners have anticipated all a guests needs & is conveniently located less than five minutes from Bellville which has good shopping & restaurants.
