About This Home
are 21.253-acre San Gabriel riverfront retreat with 400+ feet of private river frontage in one of Central Texas's fastest-growing corridors. Two combined parcels deliver unmatched size, seclusion, and ready-to-build infrastructure. Ideal for a custom homestead, ranch, recreational getaway, or long-term investment hold. Fully fenced with an automatic gated entrance for total privacy. A 1,200 sq ft barn with electricity and RV hookup is already in place—perfect for equipment, livestock, or temporary living while you build. Essential utilities ready to go: water well, septic system, electric, and water meter on site, dramatically reducing development costs. Enjoy direct private access to the San Gabriel for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, with bass, catfish, bluegill, and gar in abundance. Mature trees, open pasture, and abundant wildlife create stunning views and natural privacy throughout. Multiple prime build sites for a custom home, barndominium, or family compound. Just 10 minutes to Rockdale, 30 minutes to Taylor, and under 1 hour to Austin—quiet country living with quick access to major employers and growth markets. Riverfront acreage of this size with infrastructure already in place is extremely scarce. A high-demand asset with strong lifestyle appeal and significant long-term upside.
A 21.87-acre San Gabriel riverfront property with over 400 feet of direct river access is an extraordinarily rare find in this part of Central Texas, and 1721 County Road 429 in Rockdale delivers exactly that combination of privacy, recreation, and buildable potential. The land is fully fenced with an automated gate entrance, giving you complete seclusion while maintaining road frontage on a maintained public road. A 1,200 square foot metal barn with electricity and RV hookups is already standing, eliminating months of infrastructure work and providing immediate storage for equipment, livestock, or temporary housing during your build phase.
The San Gabriel River that borders this property is stocked with bass, catfish, bluegill, and gar, making weekend fishing trips an after-breakfast routine rather than a planned expedition. Kayaking and canoeing access is direct from the property, and the open pasture mixed with mature trees creates natural corridors for hiking and exploration across the acreage. For families, this is a genuine playground where kids learn land stewardship while adults hunt, fish, or simply escape the noise of suburban living. The lot's open design with scattered trees and river views means multiple build sites without compromising privacy or water access.
Essential utilities are already installed and ready: a functioning water well, septic system, electric service, and water meter dramatically reduce development costs when you decide to build your permanent home, barndominium, or family compound. Rockdale ISD serves the property, and Rockdale's downtown is just ten minutes away for supplies and services. Taylor sits thirty minutes south, while Austin's major employers and cultural amenities are under one hour by car, giving you country quietness without isolation.
This is a rare asset in a fast-growing corridor where large riverfront acreage with existing infrastructure and full privacy rarely hits the market. Whether you're looking for a weekend hunting and fishing compound, a long-term investment with strong appreciation potential, or a genuine working ranch with recreational upside, the combination of 21.87 acres, river frontage, prepared utilities, and existing barn structure creates immediate lifestyle value and significant future flexibility.
