Thoughtfully positioned with multiple elevated build sites, the tract delivers outstanding flexibility for both private and commercial visions. There are no deed restrictions, so imagine an RV resort or glamping community that captures weekend visitors from Austin, a boutique hospitality development or riverfront cabins for short-term rental revenue, an event venue for weddings and corporate retreats, or an exclusive private ranch retreat with miles of river frontage for family and friends. The combination of size, shoreline, and location opens creative development pathways few properties can match.
Practical improvements and development-ready features are already in place: a high-producing water well supplies dependable water, septic permits are on file to streamline permitting, and the property sits within easy reach of city water and sewer for future expansion. Access is solid a commercial driveway easement from Highway 95/Loop 230 gives convenient ingress and visibility for guests or customers. Uniquely, the tract sits adjacent to an airport/runway, increasing appeal for destination projects or aviation-minded buyers who want fly-in capability or a boutique airpark-adjacent experience.
Financially attractive carrying costs are supported by a wildlife exemption, helping keep taxes low, and owner financing may be available to qualified buyers, broadening the pool of potential investors.
