540 Highway 71 West presents an opportunity to acquire a 14.919-acre development site positioned along one of Bastrop's primary commercial corridors. The property benefits from approximately 368 feet of frontage on Highway 71, providing visibility and access along a corridor with reported traffic counts of approximately 61,500 vehicles per day. The site is zoned Planned Development District (PDD), offering flexibility for a variety of commercial, retail, multifamily, mixed-use residential, office, and institutional development concepts.
Bastrop continues to attract significant investment and population growth as economic activity expands throughout the greater Austin region. Major employers and development initiatives associated with Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, and X have increased regional demand for housing, services, retail, and commercial amenities. Nearby projects including Sendero Mixed Use Development and Burleson East are expected to introduce additional residential, hospitality, dining, and retail activity that will further strengthen the surrounding trade area.
The property is located within a rapidly expanding commercial corridor that serves as a gateway to Bastrop and the broader Central Texas market. Utilities are reported to be adjacent to the site, including City of Bastrop water and wastewater service and electric service from Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative. The tract is outside the 100-year floodplain and is identified as fully buildable.
Combining highway frontage, development flexibility, utility availability, and exposure to one of Central Texas' most active growth corridors, the property offers a compelling opportunity for developers, investors, and owner-users seeking a well-positioned land investment in the Bastrop market.
