Location

This property is located within Lake Travis ISD just minutes away from everyday necessities in Bee Cave and less than 45 minutes from downtown Austin on Hamilton Pool Road, Travis County, Texas. The property is approximately 10 miles from Dripping Springs, 84 miles from San Antonio, and 186 miles from Houston.

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

This 738 acres consists of dramatic topography allowing panoramic views, hilltops, ravines, unique private spots, and a good mixture of wooded and open areas providing habitat for a variety of hill country wildlife species. Some juniper management has been completed in recent years enhancing a couple of ideal building sites. Live oaks flourish throughout the property. The property exhibits dramatic topography ranging between 880-1,240 feet with multiple areas consisting of over 15% slope. As a result, the hilltops provide long-distance views in many directions. The low-elevation spots offer exceptional private locations that would be suitable for a building site.

Water

There is a spring-fed creek that meanders along the northwestern boundary line resulting in minimal floodplain, approximately 17.2 acres. The creek holds water in several places regardless of rainfall or season. Bee Cave’s annual rainfall (in inches) is about 35 inches.

Area History

Bee Cave is an ideal destination when it comes to enjoyment, relaxation, and entertainment. The area has grown exponentially in the last decade, resulting in about a 78.2% population change since 2010. The majority of Bee Cave residents are established well-educated, well-traveled married couples. Popular attractions such as Hamilton Pool Preserve, Milton Reimers Ranch Park, Westcave Outdoor Discovery Center, and Pedernales Falls State Park are all a short distance away.
