This 88 plus or minus acre property in Hays County offers a combination of natural beauty, development potential, and close proximity to Downtown Austin (20 mins). Located just one min off FM 1826 and five mins from the new H-E-B and Highway 290, the land provides convenience and privacy. With 1,700 ft of road frontage and 3,500 ft of access to both sides of year-round Bear Creek, the setting is scenic and serene. 33.5 plus or minus acres lie within the floodplain, creating a lush landscape along the creekl. An 8-inch waterline is located nearby, adding a valuable infrastructure advantage for future development. Ag-exemption in place for low taxes. The land is unrestricted. 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 sf, 3 beds, 2.5 baths and a bonus room, while the cabin measures 888 sf with 2 beds and 2 baths. With year-round water, unrestricted land, and excellent access, this property represents an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special. Its location just 20 mins 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: Property is apx 1,800 ft from an existing 8-inch water line. Extension requires a commercial application and plans for a min 8-inch line within a 15-ft easement, subject to Hays County approval. Once complete, the line would be conveyed to the PUA as a public water line. Apx six neighboring tracts may benefit, creating potential to coordinate and share costs.
