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".
