About this property

A rare opportunity to own a slice of one of the most coveted properties in Bastrop County, this 22± acre tract on Cottle Town Road in Smithville, Texas, sits adjacent to Park Road 1C and is being carved out of a legacy 142-acre ranch, offering every premium feature that makes this corner of the Lost Pines so special. Positioned near one of the highest elevations in Bastrop County, the property features rolling, wooded terrain covered in towering pines and mature hardwoods. Enjoy privacy, scenic vistas, and the kind of long-distance views rarely found on smaller tracts closer to Austin. Whether you're searching for a custom homesite, weekend retreat, hunting property, or recreational escape, 22 acres offers the ideal balance of space, privacy, and manageability. One of the property's most valuable advantages is its **existing wildlife exemption**, providing the opportunity for **significantly lower property taxes** compared to non-exempt land. The wildlife exemption allows you to preserve the natural habitat while enjoying the financial benefits of agricultural valuation, making this property as practical as it is beautiful. The standout feature is its location adjacent to Park Road 1C and just minutes from Buescher State Park, placing you in the heart of one of Central Texas's most treasured natural areas. With more than 1,000 acres of protected state parkland nearby, you'll enjoy abundant wildlife, protected scenery, and a peaceful setting that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. If you've been searching for acreage with exceptional beauty, favorable tax advantages through a wildlife exemption, and a premier Lost Pines location, this property is a rare opportunity.
