At 1005 E Buttercup Rd in Taylor, 43.7 acres of agricultural land give you the space to build genuine independence from city infrastructure. The property runs on its own systems: a private well supplies water, solar power generation reduces grid dependence, and the open acreage supports food production and livestock. This is not a showcase home pretending at sustainability. It's a working homestead that actually functions off-grid.

The 1,548 square foot stone residence, built in 1996, sits on land zoned for agricultural use with Williamson County tax breaks that reflect its farm designation. Inside, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms occupy a single-story open floor plan with recessed lighting, a primary bedroom on the main floor, and no interior steps. Tile and vinyl flooring handle the practical demands of a working property. The kitchen includes a pantry and electric oven. Washer and dryer are installed. A covered deck and patio open to the private yard, where the lot's open character means you control what happens next.

What separates this property from typical residential land is infrastructure for actual self-sufficiency. The private airstrip and hangar on the property speak to the independence this acreage enables. A workshop provides space for equipment maintenance and projects. The 1-car garage handles basic vehicle storage. Gutters, exterior steps, and a satellite dish round out the practical improvements.

Even Star Elementary, Taylor Middle School, and Taylor High School serve the area through Taylor ISD. The proximity to Taylor keeps you close to essential services while the 43.7-acre footprint ensures privacy and buffer from neighboring development. You're positioned between Austin's employment centers and the rural character of Williamson County's agricultural zones.

At $2.30 million, the price reflects $1,486 per square foot of living space and exceptional acreage. The land carries an agricultural exemption, a significant advantage for property tax purposes. This is operational acreage, not subdivision potential. If you work from home, run a business that benefits from space and privacy, or want to genuinely disconnect from municipal systems while maintaining the comfort of a properly maintained residence, this property delivers on that specific need. The 14-day market time suggests serious buyers recognize what this represents.
