20 Acres, Wildlife Exemption, Home, 9-Stall Barn, Amazing Views, & More

SUNRISE VISTA RANCHETTE is nestled on 20 acres located in Travis County, the heart of Central Texas, in the valuable fast-growing “Texas Triangle” megaregion. It offers a blend of magnificent Hill Country views, privacy, location, and potential with light restrictions. The driveway is accessed off a quiet dead-end road off RR 1431. The homesite and barn sit on a hilltop in Lime Creek Valley across from roughly 10,000 acres of protected preserve land, including the Baker Sanctuary. The setting feels natural yet remains remarkably convenient to major city amenities of Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Austin. The land enjoys abundant wildlife, with deer and turkey frequently seen throughout the grounds. The nature preserves across the valley provides a scenic backdrop where you can enjoy year-round viewing of the changing seasons, especially fall colors and vibrant spring wildflowers. After a good rain, a natural waterfall forms on the property, adding to its beauty and charm. Enjoy unobstructed views of sunrise and moonrise, as well as night stargazing, rainbows, seasonal fireworks displays (Cedar Park and Volente), incoming weather storms and changing cloud formations. Watch the seasonal migratory birds and soaring hawks fly across the valley easily from the house deck. The property’s single-story 4-bedroom, 3 bath home of approximately 2,627 sq ft sits on a hilltop with cross-fenced hillside acreage under wildlife management that is ideal for rotational livestock grazing, honeybee keeping, hunting, bow/gun target practice, camping, hiking, or future development. The home has a horseshoe-shaped floor plan design with a gated courtyard and covered porch in the front and a long-covered deck out back, and is ready for updates to make it your own. All south-facing living spaces have ceiling-to-floor windows viewing Lime Creek Valley. The 9-stall barn of approximately 2,482 sq ft includes an air-conditioned office, workshop, hay room, and chicken-coup with run. This property offers exceptional flexibility—well suited for a family compound, family homestead, private estate, or even potential commercial or mixed-use possibilities (buyer to verify). The property benefits from minimal deed restrictions, including a requirement for homes of 1,800+ square feet. There are no specific restrictions prohibiting commercial uses, and historically the existing restrictions appear to have been lightly enforced, further enhancing the property’s flexibility and long-term potential. The property located in Texas has no state income tax and low property taxes via wildlife management property tax assessment, with less than $5,000 per yr property tax. Designed for independence and efficiency, the home electricity is powered by an impressive off-grid 20kW solar array with 90kW of storage with back-up support by Pedernales Electric Cooperative. For water, the home and barn use a 12,800-gallon rainwater collection system. Enjoy the convenience of major shopping (such as Costco, Whole Foods, HEB, Dicks Sporting Goods, malls, bookstores), dining (steakhouses, Chuy’s, BBQ) and entertainment (cinema, steam train, dancing, event center, convention center, amusement parks, gyms, golf courses, parks) and medical (Dell Children’s Hospital, Austin Regional Clinic, Baylor Scott & White Medical, Ascension Seton Hospital, primary and specialty medical care) within minutes along 183A and Highway 1431, and quick access to Lake Travis and several waterfront parks. The property is located in the vicinity of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA), University of Texas at Austin, and major event centers such as Circuit of the Americas, UT Longhorn football, Q2 Stadium, Dell Diamond, HEB Event Center, and downtown Austin nightlife. Have local access to major highways, public train and bus systems. The hilltop is over 1,000 feet in elevation, providing excellent placement for a ham radio antenna for worldwide broadcast and reception. Zoned to highly rated schools including charter schools and homeschool organizations, this is an opportunity to own a sizable piece of land in a close-in location that balances natural beauty, flexibility, accessibility, and long-term potential.
