One Property, Two Extraordinary Value Paths
For Estate Buyers
Create your legacy on 178 private acres with Colorado River frontage. This is the recreational paradise and generational retreat you've envisioned—fishing, boating, wildlife, and complete seclusion, all within reach of Austin's amenities. As the metro expands, your private sanctuary appreciates while remaining untouched.
For Developers & Investors
178 acres allows multiple estate-sized parcels, each with potential river access. With Bastrop County experiencing 59.63% population growth since 2010 and six housing developments currently underway, subdivision potential is clear. Infrastructure investments are enhancing accessibility, and riverfront properties command premium values near Austin.
Why Riverfront Properties Command Premium Value
- Texas has the most riverfront property in the US, with nearly 300,000 acres valued at almost $2 billion
- Large contiguous riverfront parcels (100+ acres) are increasingly rare near major metros
- Freshwater access becomes more valuable as populations grow and climate pressures increase
- Texas land combination of economic stability and continuous development creates environment where property values consistently appreciate
- Rural property prices have increased steadily, particularly near growing urban areas like Austin, often outpacing inflation
