This 88-acre property in Hays County combines year-round Bear Creek, two existing homes and unrestricted land, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Austin. Located just one minute off FM 1826 and five minutes from the new H-E-B and Highway 290, the property offers a private setting with convenient access to everyday amenities.
Nearly 1,700 feet of road frontage provide access, while nearly 3,500 feet of access along both sides of Bear Creek create an extensive waterfront setting. Approximately 33.5 acres lie within the floodplain, encompassing a lush creekside landscape.
An agricultural exemption is in place, supporting lower property taxes.
The approximately 3,645-square-foot main home features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and a bonus room. A separate 888-square-foot cabin includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Both residences provide immediate usability and opportunities for future improvements.
An existing eight-inch water line lies approximately 1,800 feet from the property. Extending service would require a commercial application and engineered plans for a minimum eight-inch line within a 15-foot water-line easement, along with Hays County approval.
Upon completion, the extended line would be conveyed to the PUA and incorporated into the public water system. Approximately six to seven neighboring tracts may also benefit, creating potential for owners to coordinate and share extension costs.
The unrestricted acreage offers possibilities for a personal ranch, family compound or development. The property is currently within the Dripping Springs ETJ, with potential to pursue removal for additional development flexibility.
With live water, substantial road frontage, existing residences and flexible acreage options, this property offers a versatile opportunity close to Austin. Create a private retreat or explore development possibilities informed by the property's floodplain, jurisdiction and water-service requirements.
