The 33-acre property at 326 The Forest Road in Dale, Bastrop County offers something increasingly rare near Austin: genuine privacy and security on land where your family can breathe. This single-family residence sits on acreage that provides natural isolation without sacrificing proximity to the city's job centers, placing you just 25 miles from downtown Austin, 12 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, and 7 miles from Circuit of the Americas.

Safety here comes from space itself. The heavily treed lot with large native oaks and pines creates a natural buffer between your home and the outside world. The property's agricultural character means neighbors are distant, not adjacent. Security is further enhanced by the existing partial fencing already in place across the land, with materials on site for additional improvements. Living in Dale, within Bastrop ISD's service area, means your children attend Cedar Creek schools (Cedar Creek High School serves grades 9-12 with a GreatSchools rating of 6/10), and the rural setting provides the kind of supervised outdoor freedom that defines country childhood.

The single-story 1,937-square-foot home itself prioritizes comfort and accessibility. Built in 1993 and substantially updated, it features the primary bedroom on the main floor with two walk-in closets, eliminating the vulnerability of stairs and providing aging-in-place flexibility. The 2019 roof and warranty-protected HVAC system mean your sanctuary is mechanically sound. Multiple living areas allow family separation without isolation, and the covered front porch extends the home's security envelope to create a transition space between private interior and open land.

The property's structure offers genuine peace of mind for long-term planning. Subdivided into five plats, the 33 acres accommodate livestock operations, hunting, or future development. The existing barn supports equipment storage, workshops, or agricultural use. Utilities have been extended to parcels on site. Light restrictions allow you to use the land exactly as your family needs without the constraints of dense residential zoning.

This Dale property represents security through distance, comfort through updates, and peace of mind through flexibility. The surrounding growth corridor near Highway 130 and proximity to the Tesla Gigafactory suggests the area's trajectory without compromising the isolation you own today.
