— bed, — bath on 95.87 acres in Elgin. Elgin, TX 78621. $2,396,750.
Double road frontage on Coon Neck Road and Lower Elgin Road. Located outside of the ETJ with no restrictions, this property provides maximum flexibility for residential, or commercial development. Utilities are a key advantage with electricity on the property and water lines along both roads including a 12in line. Positioned just 30 minutes from Austin in a rapidly growing area, this tract is well-suited for immediate development or long-term investment. The agricultural exemption keeps annual property taxes below $900, making it an ideal buy-and-hold opportunity while planning future use.
At 95.867 acres with dual road frontage on both Coon Neck Road and Lower Elgin Road in Elgin, Texas 78621, this is a rare offering for someone seeking genuine privacy and development control outside city limits. The property sits in Bastrop County with zero ETJ restrictions, meaning you operate without the regulatory constraints that define most Austin-area land deals. This matters if you're thinking strategically about the next decade.
The infrastructure advantages compound the opportunity. Electricity runs across the property. Water lines already service both roads, including a 12-inch main, eliminating the typical utility hurdle that kills development timelines. These aren't theoretical amenities - they're installed, permitted, and ready. For a buyer considering residential compounds, agricultural operations, or commercial development, this removes months of planning friction.
The location sits roughly 30 minutes from downtown Austin and approximately 25 minutes from major employment corridors in northeast Austin where Dell, Apple, Tesla, and Domain maintain significant operations. This proximity to growth without being trapped in it appeals to land strategists who understand that rural Bastrop County is where Austin's expansion actually flows. Highway 290 provides the primary corridor, but Lower Elgin Road offers direct regional connectivity.
Current property tax runs under $900 annually thanks to the agricultural exemption - a substantial financial advantage while the land remains unimproved. This structure works for patient investors planning development within 5-10 years. You're not carrying a tax burden that forces rushed decisions.
The dual road frontage deserves emphasis. Two separate access points eliminate dependency on a single entry and create multiple development scenarios. A residential buyer might design one unified private estate. A development investor sees two distinct parcels with independent utility connections. The flexibility isn't incidental - it's foundational to the property's value proposition.
Outside the ETJ means Elgin city ordinances don't apply. Bastrop County regulations govern use, but the absence of Austin's jurisdictional reach gives you decision-making authority that simply doesn't exist in properties immediately adjacent to the city. This appeals to buyers who want land that responds to their vision rather than a city's master plan.
The 5-day market absorption suggests serious investors are already recognizing what this represents: raw acreage with utilities, access, and growth proximity, positioned where Austin's expansion actually happens rather than where it's already saturated. Whether you're holding for appreciation or executing a development plan, the infrastructure and location create a foundation that justifies long-term confidence.
