Seventeen acres of gently rolling land with 670 feet of Highway 290 frontage near Elgin represents genuine private estate potential in Bastrop County, where unrestricted agricultural zoning opens possibilities from residential compounds to commercial operations. The property sits in the Gage subdivision, just 4.2 miles from downtown Elgin via Highway 290, positioning it within reach of both Bastrop's Hill Country character and commute corridors extending toward Austin's job centers.
The landscape itself defines the appeal. Approximately 7.6 acres of mature medium-canopy trees (20 to 40 feet) frame the perimeter and interior of the property, creating natural screening and visual breaks across the undulating terrain. The remaining acreage is cleared, allowing flexibility for construction, pasture, or further site planning. Trees provide both privacy and aesthetic depth without the management burden of dense woodland, delivering that country estate feel without isolation.
Infrastructure readiness removes typical rural barriers. The property has a fully installed septic system already in place, with water and electric available. A paved access road approaches the lot, eliminating the rough-entry character of many agricultural parcels. This combination means development timelines stay reasonable for whoever envisions their use case here.
Students in the area attend Booker T Washington Elementary School, Elgin Middle School, and Elgin High School within Elgin ISD. The school district serves Bastrop County with consistent, accessible education options for families considering this property as a multi-generational home.
Zoning flexibility here matters. No deed restrictions and unrestricted agricultural classification mean the land can support a primary residence, guest structures, equestrian facilities, agricultural operations, or mixed-use scenarios. An adjacent listing currently on the market offers contiguous acreage if expansion becomes strategic.
A mobile home currently on the property conveys with the sale at no added value, though it could serve as temporary housing during construction of permanent structures or as guest quarters. The 17-day market time reflects the specialized buyer profile this parcel attracts.
This is land with clarity of purpose. Not speculative scrub, but prepared property waiting for an owner who knows exactly what they want to build. Highway 290 frontage provides commercial viability while the tree coverage and acreage ensure genuine privacy for residential aspirations.
