Colorado River frontage on 114.27 acres is the headline at 256 Greasy Bend Rd, a $2.10M land offering that is hard to replicate this close to Smithville. In Smithville, 256 Greasy Bend Rd gives you scale, water, and privacy in one tract, with no existing house to limit how you position a future homesite, barn, guest quarters, or recreational setup.

This is unimproved land in Bastrop County, which matters for buyers who want flexibility. There is no current bedroom, bathroom, or interior square footage count because this is raw land, and there is no year built to factor into the decision. Instead, the value conversation starts with acreage, river access, tree cover, topography, and utility readiness. At roughly $18,376 per acre, the pricing lands at about $0.42 per square foot across the full tract, a useful benchmark for comparing large riverfront holdings in the Smithville area. Electricity is already on the property, and a water well will be needed, which gives a buyer a clear picture of the next development step.

The setting along the Colorado River is the real differentiator. Large tracts with waterfront in this corridor are limited, and the combination of mature live oaks, pecan trees, and rolling ground creates multiple options for a primary build site or weekend retreat. The terrain also gives the land visual depth, which is a major advantage if you want a homesite with long views rather than a flat pasture feel. Greasy Bend Rd keeps the approach quiet, while downtown Smithville is still close enough for groceries, restaurants, and daily errands. Highway 71 is the key regional connector, making trips toward Bastrop, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and Austin more straightforward than many rural properties farther east or south.

For families planning ahead, the property sits in Smithville ISD, with Brown Primary, Smithville, and Smithville serving the area. That gives buyers clear school anchors and named campuses rather than vague district references. The proximity to Smithville itself also means quick access to local events, the historic downtown district, and river-country recreation that defines this part of Bastrop County.

After 35 days on market, 256 Greasy Bend Rd stands out as a property for someone thinking long term. You can hold it as a legacy tract, shape it into a private ranch, or build a riverfront estate with real land around you. In a market where usable waterfront acreage keeps getting harder to find, this is the kind of address that can carry both lifestyle appeal and lasting land value.
