Investment Property! This 55 acre tract is located in one of the fasting growing communities in Caldwell County. Only 20-30 minutes from Austin, ABIA, Tesla Super Plant, Bastrop, and San Marcos. Approx. 2422 feet of frontage on busy FM 1854 Hwy. and Approx. 990 feet of Caldwell County Rd Homann Rd. side of property. Property has Ag exempt. Aqua Water line at the road and Bluebonnet Electric on property. Many possibilities with this location. No deed restrictions known. Road frontage on two sides. Older 3/1 Ranch Cabin on property with Old sheds, cattle lot, barns.
With 55 acres, about 2,422 feet of frontage on FM 1854, and another 990 feet along Homann Road, 11445 Fm 1854 stands out as a rare large-scale land holding in Dale, Texas 78616. At 11445 Fm 1854 in Caldwell County, this $2.97 million farm-ranch combines long road frontage, agricultural exemption, utility access, and a location that keeps Austin area job centers within practical reach.
The existing improvements are modest but usable: a 615 square foot ranch cabin built in 1940, older sheds, barns, and a cattle lot. The current list price pencils to about $4,829 per interior square foot, though this is clearly a land-driven offering rather than a house-driven one. For buyers asking what it is like to live here, the answer starts with space, flexibility, and access. You have 55 acres to work with, no known deed restrictions according to the listing remarks, Aqua Water at the road, and Bluebonnet Electric already on the property. That creates options for agricultural use, a long-term hold, a private ranch setup, or future plans that benefit from visibility and multiple access points.
This part of Dale sits in one of the more active growth corridors east and southeast of Austin. FM 1854 gives the property daily visibility and direct utility as a working ranch or investment tract, while Homann Road adds a second side of frontage that matters for circulation and planning. From here, typical drive times are roughly 20 to 30 minutes to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Tesla Gigafactory Texas, Bastrop, and San Marcos, which is a major advantage for anyone balancing rural land ownership with regional employment and travel. The site also benefits from proximity to SH 21 and the broader Lockhart and Bastrop corridors that continue to draw attention from buyers looking beyond Travis County pricing.
For families, the property is served by Lockhart ISD. Zoned schools listed for 11445 Fm 1854 include Alma Brewer Strawn Elementary, Lockhart Junior High, and Lockhart High School. That gives this Dale address a direct connection to the Lockhart school system while maintaining a true country setting.
The 515 days on market suggest this is not a plug-and-play suburban purchase. It is a specific asset for a buyer who understands land, frontage, utilities, and growth patterns in Caldwell County. Properties like this tend to be judged less by the 1940 cabin and more by what 55 acres on FM 1854 can mean five, ten, and fifteen years from now. For the right owner, this is the kind of tract that supports both a working Texas lifestyle today and long-range value tomorrow.
