10.317 Acres Bordering Protected Federal Refuge Land in the Texas Hill Country
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? 🌿 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 meant to preserve the 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:
🏡 Phased homestead development
🏕️ Recreational escape or STR potential
🐎 Equestrian facilities
🏘️ Multi-generational living or long-term investment
Set within the ETJ of Lago Vista, the property benefits from minimal land-use restrictions, allowing for far more flexibility than typically found in more regulated areas.
Utility access is favorable:
⚡ Pedernales Electric can be extended from a nearby line along Mountain Top Circle (approx. 100 yards away).
🚰 Jonestown Water Supply Company has verified that a water line runs near the tract and can be extended depending on build site and configuration.
📍Though private and surrounded by nature, the land remains easily accessible—just 20 minutes from Cedar Park and under an hour to downtown Austin. The surrounding corridor continues to see steady growth, adding long-term value to a property that already offers something increasingly rare: protected boundaries, natural beauty, and room to build your vision—on your terms.
Offered at $825,000 for 10.317 of prime, unimproved Texas Hill Country land.
