Description

Just an hour north of Austin lies River Hills Ranch, your idyllic escape from city life. Once a 1,600-acre exotic game ranch, it has now been transformed into a peaceful retreat surrounded by almost 40 exotic species, including Blackbuck, Nilgai, Oryx, and Red Stag, as well as local wildlife such as whitetail deer, jackrabbits, and roadrunners. The high fence and two gates create a unique living experience, where residents can feel immersed in the great outdoors. This breathtaking 7.02-acre property offers direct access to the shimmering Lampasas River through a community area. With two pavilions on-site, it's a prime location for family gatherings, laid-back picnics, or social events under the Texas sky. But this land offers more than just beauty. As part of a Grazing Association, it brings financial perks providing thousands in property tax savings. The property qualifies for an Agricultural Exemption through sustainable beekeeping, allowing property owners to reduce their property tax burden. This exemption is typically available if the land is used for agricultural purposes, such as raising bees for honey production or pollination services. Sustainable beekeeping practices include maintaining a certain amount of hives per acre and demonstrating consistent agricultural activity on the property. This is a unique chance for you to invest in both lifestyle and sustainability on a small scale. The property is currently undergoing a thoughtful clearing of cedar trees and other unwanted underbrush revealing a picturesque valley that makes this an ideal scenic spot for building your dream home. Imagine relaxing on the back porch of your future home, watching the sun rise over the valley, and enjoying the tranquil beauty of the surroundings while sipping a honey-infused drink. River Hills Ranch is a unique opportunity to invest in a lifestyle that balances nature, sustainability, and personal comfort.
