About this property
Smithwick Hills Ranch is located in the heart of the highly sought after Highland Lakes area just 10 minutes to Marble Falls, 20 minutes to Horseshoe Bay, 55 minutes to Downtown Austin, and 1 hour to Fredericksburg. The ranch is an ideal opportunity to buy a piece of the Texas Hill Country centrally located in of one of the fastest growing Regions in the State of Texas, just minutes from wineries, restaurants, state parks, lakes, boating, and more. The ranch is extremely versatile and would make a great full time ranch, recreational property, 1031 investment hold, hunting ranch, or potential development, offering 1 mile of FM 1431 frontage. An agricultural exemption is in place on the property. The Smithwick 220-acre site comes with a significant head start for developers — a November 2025 engineering study is already complete, outlining water infrastructure capacity across three build scenarios. Depending on waterline size, the property can support approximately 300 LUEs with a 6-inch line, 500 LUEs with an 8-inch line, or up to 1,400 LUEs with a 12-inch line. All configurations include a transmission main spanning 9,500 linear feet, a treatment plant, storage tanks, and a booster station. Water service would be provided by Texas Water Utilities, drawing from an LCRA surface water source. The ranch boasts stunning natural features from hill tops, valleys, bottom land with seasonal creeks lined with pecan trees, hills glazed with endless amounts of wildflowers through spring and summer. There are several hill tops on the ranch that would all make great build sites, offering a Buyer many options that capture the views and perfect orientation of the sunset. WATER: Seasonal creek, 2 small ponds, 4 water wells (10 gpm, 2 gpm, 1.5 gpm, and 1 gpm). IMPROVEMENTS: Old 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch house on the hill top, with a separate 2 car garage that could be converted into another living space.
