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. 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.
