Lago Vista has indicated a willingness to provide water service to the sit, adding to the property's long-term potential. The ranch currently benefits from a Wildlife Exemption and has more than 100 years of documented family stewardship.
Exceptional Location & Accessibility
With substantial frontage along FM 1431, Sunset Ranch provides convenient access to Lago Vista, Lake Travis, and the greater Austin region. Its location next to Lago Vista Airport, near the city limits, and approximately 35 minutes from the Arboretum combines the privacy and scale of a Hill Country ranch with convenient access to the Austin metropolitan area.
The property's position is particularly compelling due to its combination of existing and potential infrastructure, neighboring development, airport access, natural conservation areas, and continued growth throughout the Lake Travis corridor.
Surrounded by Growth and Natural Beauty
Sunset Ranch is immediately adjacent to Tessera by Hines, a major master-planned community, while another portion of the ranch borders the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge.
This unique setting places the property between an expanding residential corridor and thousands of acres of protected Texas Hill Country, providing an increasingly rare combination of growth potential, privacy, and natural beauty near Austin.
Spectacular Hill Country Views
Elevated terrain provides breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding Texas Hill Country, extending approximately 49 miles from portions of the property. From the ranch house, views reach toward the Kendalia area.
Rolling terrain, native landscape, elevation, and proximity to Lake Travis create numerous dramatic vantage points throughout the ranch, making the property suitable for a variety of potential uses.
Strategic Long-Term Potential
The scale and location of Sunset Ranch create compelling possibilities for buyers considering the property's long-term future. Its 1,575 contiguous acres, FM 1431 frontage, airport adjacency, proximity to Lago Vista, neighboring master-planned development, potential access to water service, and conservation-area boundary distinguish it from more remote Hill Country properties.
The ranch may appeal to buyers seeking a legacy ranch, private estate, long-term investment, conservation opportunity, or potential future development, subject to applicable governmental approvals, entitlements, infrastructure availability, and land-use requirements.
