Buyer to verify property usage

The 40.05-acre estate at Old Ferry Road in Spicewood presents one of the most versatile development opportunities in the Lake Travis area, with direct access to some of Hill Country's most coveted amenities. The property's gated entry announces arrival into private territory that spans open pastures anchored by mature oak trees, creating a landscape that balances raw acreage with deliberate land stewardship. The driveway approach crosses land configured for multiple uses, from equestrian operations to agricultural ventures to residential development.

The grounds themselves define this holding as genuine country estate land rather than raw acreage. Manicured pastures flow between groves of native oaks that provide both aesthetic value and screening from neighboring properties. The lot's approximately 40 acres sit within Travis County's lighter zoning restrictions, permitting flexibility in land use that few properties in this price range offer. The property can be subdivided into two tracts of no smaller than 10 acres each, making it suitable for family compounds, multi-generational planning, or development scenarios that would require significant land mass in a primary residence scenario.

Location anchors this property within the Lake Travis ISD, whose high school and middle school both serve students from Spicewood and surrounding Lakeway communities. West Cypress Hills Elementary feeds into the Lake Travis schools, positioning families in a district consistently ranked among the strongest in Central Texas. Five minutes south lies Pace Bend Park, the 1,368-acre Lake Travis recreation area offering 9 boat ramps, 15 miles of equestrian trails, and direct water access for boating and fishing. Briarcliff Marina operates just minutes away along the same corridor.

The property's proximity to Lake Travis Golf Club, Loraloma Private Club and Estates, and the emerging Canyon Ranch spa resort development establishes this land within a luxury resort-adjacent geography rather than standard suburban Hill Country. Hill Country Galleria and Lakeway's shopping and dining core sit 15 minutes east. Downtown Austin accessibility at 35 minutes positions the property as genuinely rural while maintaining practical access to major employment centers and urban amenities.

The combination of subdivision potential, mature landscaping, Lake Travis ISD enrollment, and proximity to both private clubs and public recreation creates an estate platform that accommodates expansion without requiring major land acquisition later.
