Tucked into the heart of Preservation Ranch—one of Bee Cave’s most exclusive gated communities—Lot 2 offers 21+/- acres of panoramic Hill Country beauty and exceptional equestrian amenities. Perched at one of the highest elevations in Travis County, the property boasts sweeping views of the surrounding hills and valleys, creating an unmatched sense of privacy just 15 minutes from the Hill Country Galleria and 30 minutes to downtown Austin.
A rare find for equestrians or those looking to build a private retreat, this lot features mature hardwoods, open pastures, and several ideal build sites that capitalize on the property’s scenic topography. The centerpiece is a meticulously designed 13,000+ square-foot barn that blends functionality with thoughtful design. It includes 10 horse stalls with outdoor runs, a feed room with ample grain storage, and a spacious tack and saddle room. Additional features include a 5-bay maintenance garage outfitted with a hydraulic vehicle lift, an air-conditioned machine shop with dual garage bays, and a break room complete with a kitchen and full bathroom. Above the stable, a two-bedroom, one-bath Ranch Manager’s apartment adds a comfortable living space for staff or guests.
Preservation Ranch spans 930 acres of rolling terrain, offering residents a lifestyle centered around nature, privacy, and conservation. Community amenities include miles of hiking and riding trails, spring-fed creeks, and direct access to a 2,400-acre neighboring conservation park. Located within the acclaimed Lake Travis ISD, Lot 2 is a prime opportunity to craft a legacy property in one of the Hill Country’s most secure and sought-after communities.
