PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Set across 34.851 acres in the Texas Hill Country, this property offers a rare combination of usable land, long-range views, existing infrastructure, and direct adjacency to protected land. Horses are allowed, and the acreage provides strong potential for future equestrian improvements, including barns, arenas, paddocks, workshops, or additional structures tailored to a buyer’s vision. Bordering a 580-acre section of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, the property offers a level of privacy and preservation that is becoming increasingly difficult to find near Austin. Rolling terrain, wooded cover, open space, and multiple potential building sites create flexibility for a wide range of future uses — whether as a private retreat, horse property, recreational getaway, multi-generational setup, or long-term land investment. The existing approximately 1,500-square-foot home provides immediate usability while leaving room for future expansion or customization over time. Positioned on an elevated portion of the property, the home captures expansive Hill Country views from both the interior living spaces and covered deck. Inside, the layout includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a half bath, and an upper-level loft ideal for office space, hobbies, guests, or studio use. Large windows throughout keep the home connected to the surrounding landscape. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, microwave, and refrigerator, along with a breakfast bar that opens naturally into the main living area. Below the home, an oversized enclosed garage/workshop with utility sink provides substantial space for storage, tools, equipment, recreational vehicles, trailers, or ongoing projects. The land itself is where the property truly stands apart. Multiple potential building sites are spread across the acreage, including several more level areas well suited for future construction or equestrian improvements. The terrain offers a balance of usability and character, with native vegetation, wooded privacy, and open Hill Country views throughout. Infrastructure is already in place with a private water well, 2,500-gallon storage tank, septic system, and electricity onsite. Additional expansion potential exists through Pedernales Electric Cooperative, while Jonestown Water Supply has indicated a possible future water line extension. Located within the ETJ of Lago Vista, the property benefits from a level of flexibility not commonly found in more heavily restricted communities. This is not a highly manicured turnkey ranch property — it is something increasingly difficult to recreate: a sizable Hill Country tract with existing infrastructure, protected neighboring land, privacy, flexibility, and long-term potential in a steadily growing area of the Texas Hill Country.

DETAILS

Home Features

• The home is positioned on an elevated portion of the property to take advantage of the surrounding Hill Country landscape and long-range views. A covered deck extends the main living area outdoors, creating a comfortable space to relax, entertain, or simply take in the changing light across the terrain throughout the day.
• Inside, the approximately 1,500-square-foot layout is practical and comfortable, offering two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a half bath, and an upper-level loft that works well for office space, guests, hobbies, or additional flexible use. Large windows throughout the home bring in natural light while keeping the surrounding acreage and views front and center.
• The kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, microwave, and refrigerator, along with a breakfast bar that opens naturally into the main living space. The overall setup reflects a relaxed Hill Country retreat feel — functional as-is while still leaving room for future updates or customization over time.
• One of the more useful features of the property is the oversized enclosed garage/workshop located below the main living area. Complete with a utility sink and generous storage capacity, the space is well suited for tools, equipment, recreational gear, trailers, workshop use, or ongoing projects tied to rural or recreational living.
• The upper-level loft adds additional flexibility to the home and benefits from excellent natural light and elevated views. Whether used as a workspace, reading area, studio, workout room, or overflow guest space, it adds functionality beyond the home’s primary layout.

Lot Features

• The 34.851-acre tract offers a blend of rolling Hill Country terrain, wooded privacy, open space, and elevated views that create both usability and character throughout the property. Unlike many heavily sloped acreage tracts, the land provides multiple areas suitable for future building, recreational use, equestrian improvements, or additional structures depending on a buyer’s long-term vision.
• A defining feature of the property is its direct adjacency to a protected section of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. This neighboring preserve helps protect the surrounding landscape, enhances privacy, and creates a setting that feels increasingly difficult to replicate as development continues to expand through the region.
• The acreage supports a wide range of potential uses, including horse property improvements, workshops, barns, equipment storage, recreational trails, weekend retreat use, or long-term land holding. Horses are allowed, and the combination of existing infrastructure and open land creates flexibility for future customization without starting entirely from scratch.
• Infrastructure already in place includes a private water well with a 2,500-gallon storage tank, septic system, and electricity onsite. Additional utility expansion may be available through Pedernales Electric Cooperative, while Jonestown Water Supply has indicated a potential future water line extension.

Horse Facility Features

• This property is best described as a blank-slate equestrian opportunity rather than a turnkey horse facility. There are currently no existing barns, arenas, stalls, paddocks, or riding improvements in place, allowing a future owner the flexibility to design and build a setup tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
• Horses are allowed, and the 34.851-acre tract provides ample space for future equestrian improvements including barns, turnouts, arenas, round pens, trailer parking, equipment storage, or additional outbuildings. The land offers a combination of rolling terrain, wooded cover, open areas, and multiple potential building sites that could support a wide variety of horse property configurations over time.
