Eighty-four acres of cleared land stretching across the Del Valle subdivision in Del Valle, Texas represents one of the rare undeveloped canvases remaining within Austin's expanding eastern corridor. This is raw potential set against an open horizon where the landscape itself becomes the defining feature of ownership.

The property sits on gentle slopes with cleared acreage that reads as an invitation rather than a constraint. Richards Drive provides direct access from Highway 71 East, positioning this Del Valle holding minutes from the Tesla Gigafactory, COTA, and the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport corridor. The land itself comprises two contiguous 40-acre tracts plus an additional 4-acre access strip, with approximately 19 acres sitting within the floodplain and the remainder ready for development. Most of the acreage is already fenced and predominantly ag exempt, reducing carrying costs while the property exists in a holding pattern between its current use and future purpose.

What makes this horizon line particularly compelling is proximity to Discovery Land Company's Austin Surf Club development on the adjacent property. That 2,200-foot surf basin with wave technology and luxury wellness amenities sits just across the fence line, creating an ecosystem of high-end hospitality infrastructure already under construction. Your 84 acres become the natural extension of that vision, whether envisioned as boutique resort space, villa communities, golf course development, or complementary dining and event venues.

The location itself carries strategic advantages beyond raw acreage. Sitting within Austin's two-mile ETJ and designated as an Opportunity Zone, the land qualifies for tax-advantaged long-term investment structures. Highway 71 East connects directly to Bastrop, the airport, and downtown Austin, collapsing distance in ways that older Austin neighborhoods cannot match. Del Valle ISD serves the area through Popham Elementary, Del Valle Middle, and Del Valle High School.

This is not a property for someone seeking an immediate structure or turnkey solution. This is land for developers, investors, and visionaries who understand that 84 acres of cleared, accessible, strategically-positioned terrain in an emerging corridor represents something increasingly scarce in the Austin metro. The floorplan is whatever you design it to be. The view is sky and possibility.
