Description

Offered with multiple development options, including a standalone land purchase or two thoughtfully designed to-be-built home concepts 

This private 15-acre estate features large live oaks, fascinating 19th-century ruins, abundant wildlife, and complete privacy at the end of a dead-end road with no through traffic in the entire neighborhood. The current owners have thoughtfully prepared the property with a cleared homesite, a defined entry, and a 1/3-mile private road—allowing a buyer to step directly into the building phase while still offering flexibility to create a highly personalized Hill Country retreat.

Located just 1.5 miles from Nutty Brown Road, 1.8 miles from H-E-B, and less than 2 miles from Highway 290, the property offers a rare balance of privacy and convenience. Belterra Village Shopping Center—with dining, shopping, and entertainment—is only minutes away, while Downtown Austin remains easily accessible.

Light restrictions allow for a wide range of uses including guest casitas, equestrian facilities, barns, workshops, storage for recreational toys, or the creation of a multi-generational family compound. The property is part of a Wildlife Management Property Association, helping preserve the area’s wildlife habitat and natural character while keeping taxes low (around $23 for 2025).

An existing water well on the property tested at 17 gallons per minute after a new pump and hose bib were installed in April 2025. For added peace of mind, a 3,000-gallon holding tank is also in place.

Buyers have the option to build a custom home with Sitterle Homes, including the “Abilene” floor plan—or select from a range of other architectural designs tailored to the property’s setting and mature oak canopy.

The optional “Abilene” home package is offered at $1,995,000 and includes approximately 3,740 square feet thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Features include:

  • 3 bedrooms | 3.5 bathrooms
  • Expansive great room opening seamlessly to a covered patio
  • Dedicated dining area and large kitchen with oversized island and walk-in pantry
  • Private primary suite with spa-style bath and oversized walk-in closet
  • Optional detached guest suite / casita for additional flexibility
  • Game room and library ideal for work-from-home or recreation
  • 3-car garage with additional storage

Architecturally, buyers can choose from multiple exterior elevations ranging from modern Hill Country to more traditional stone-forward designs, allowing the home to complement the surrounding landscape and natural topography.

An alternative concept plan is also available through Blue Horse Building & Design, featuring an approximately 4,000-square-foot luxury residence with 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, multiple living areas and offices, expansive outdoor living spaces, patio, and pool. Pricing for this luxury home and planned improvements is offered at $2,995,000.

These optional build paths give buyers the ability to secure the land now while benefiting from a streamlined development vision—whether choosing an existing architectural concept, customizing a plan, or creating something entirely their own.

With ample space, mature trees, infrastructure already in place, and multiple development pathways available, this property presents an exceptional opportunity to create a private Hill Country estate or legacy family compound in one of the most desirable corridors southwest of Austin.

Seller will consider owner financing at below-marker rates for qualified buyers (on land only option). Reach out for additional details.
