10.317 Acres Bordering Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge

A remarkable opportunity to homestead or invest in 10.317 acres in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Located at 11709 Mountain Top Circle in Jonestown, within Leander ISD and tucked into a quiet, scenic stretch of land, this property borders a 580-acre section of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge—part of more than 25,000 acres of permanently protected habitat. The result is a rare sense of privacy, long-view Hill Country vistas, and the peace of mind that comes with owning land backed by federal conservation efforts that will preserve the surrounding landscape for generations to come.

The offered 10.317-acre tract is surveyed from a larger 34.851-acre property, giving future buyers the option to expand. While the current offering is limited to the surveyed acreage, sellers are open to discussing additional configurations—including acreage that features an existing 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence, oversized garage/workshop, septic, well, and electric service. These possibilities support a range of visions, from phased homestead development to long-term land investment with added infrastructure.

Rolling terrain, a quiet setting, and minimal land-use restrictions make the property suitable for a variety of future uses, including custom residential builds, barndominiums, equestrian facilities, short-term rentals, or multi-generational living arrangements. The property sits within the ETJ of Lago Vista, allowing for broader possibilities than typically found in more regulated areas.

Utility access is favorable. Pedernales Electric has confirmed that service can be extended from a nearby line along Mountain Top Circle, approximately 100 yards from the property. Jonestown Water Supply Company has verified a water line runs near the tract, with extensions possible depending on the chosen build site and configuration. Combined with the area’s minimal permitting requirements, these factors help create a smoother path toward development.

Though private and surrounded by nature, the location remains easily accessible—roughly 20 minutes from Cedar Park and under an hour from downtown Austin. The surrounding corridor continues to see steady growth, adding long-term value to a property that already offers something increasingly hard to find: land with lasting beauty, protected boundaries, and space to build your vision on your terms.

The 10.317 acres are offered at $825,000.
