The core value at 660 American Legion Rd is control: 9.59 acres of unimproved land in Bastrop County with no stated restrictions, city limits on two sides, and multiple utility connections positioned nearby, which creates a rare level of flexibility for future planning. In a market where developable land is often constrained by entitlement, utility access, or location, this tract stands out because it offers all three levers at once in Smithville.

The site is offered at $1.23M and has been on the market 247 days, which gives buyers time to evaluate it for the right end use instead of forcing a rushed decision. The property is in Smithville ISD, with Brown Primary, Smithville Middle, and Smithville High serving the area, an important detail for any buyer weighing residential absorption, long-term hold strategy, or a mixed-use concept with housing in the program. The address places it on American Legion Road, and the nearby utility framework is unusually relevant here. A 12-inch water line runs along the east side of American Legion and along the south side of the property within the neighboring tract. A sewer main is reported nearby at American Legion and Hwy 71. Three-phase power is noted on the east property line, with a new three-phase power line along the north side.

That combination matters because utility proximity changes the economics of land. It can affect how quickly a site moves from concept to execution, what intensity is realistic, and how much flexibility a buyer has when evaluating residential, commercial, or mixed-use options. The county location also adds another layer of strategic choice. With city limits bordering two sides, a buyer can assess whether to maintain a county position or explore annexation through a Planned Development District, depending on the intended program and timeline.

For buyers who understand land, this is less about surface appeal and more about positioning. Large unrestricted acreage with nearby water, sewer, and three-phase power is not common, and when it also sits in a location tied to both county flexibility and city adjacency, it creates a stronger planning envelope than most raw land offerings. The long-term value here is in optionality, and that is usually what separates ordinary land from a tract with real development leverage.
