This incredible 88± acre property in Hays County offers a rare combination of natural beauty, development potential, and close proximity to Downtown Austin (20 minutes). Located just one minute off FM 1826 and five minutes from the new H-E-B and Highway 290, the land provides both convenience and privacy. With nearly 1,700 feet of road frontage and nearly 3,500 feet of access to both sides of year-round Bear Creek, the setting is scenic and serene. About 33.5± acres of the property lie within the floodplain, creating a lush landscape along the creek and adding to the property's appeal. An 8-inch waterline is located nearby, adding a valuable infrastructure advantage for future development. Ag-exemption in place for low taxes.
Multiple Acreage Options Available:
10 Acres with Home and Creek Frontage
33 Acres with Home and Creek Frontage
45 Acres Land Only with Creek Frontage
Full 88 Acres with 2 existing homes
The land is unrestricted, making it a true blank canvas ready for a wide range of possibilities. Whether envisioned as a personal ranch, family compound, or a thoughtful development, this acreage offers flexibility that is increasingly rare this close to Austin. The property is currently located within the Dripping Springs ETJ, but can be removed, which opens the door for additional development opportunities.
Two existing homes sit on the property, offering immediate use or future improvement opportunities. The main house features approximately 3,645 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a bonus room, while the cabin measures 888 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. With year-round water, unrestricted land, and excellent access, this property represents an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special. Its location just 20 minutes from Downtown Austin makes it one of the few remaining large tracts of this size within such close reach of the city, blending the feel of a private retreat with unbeatable convenience.
Water Line Extension: The property is approximately 1,800 feet from the existing 8-inch water line. Extension of service would require a commercial application and engineered plans for a minimum 8-inch water line within a 15-foot water-line easement. Plans would also require approval from Hays County. Upon completion, the extended line would be conveyed to the PUA and become part of the public water system. Approximately six to seven neighboring tracts may also benefit from the extension, creating a potential opportunity for property owners to coordinate and share extension costs.
