Selected for its exceptional buildability, privacy, and extraordinary panoramic Hill Country views, this 6.18-acre estate property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly special homesite. Located within Jonestown’s Dark Sky Community, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, wide-open vistas, and exceptional star-filled night skies. Significant time, planning, and investment have already gone into preparing the property. Utility easements were released to allow two separate lots to be combined into a single 6.18-acre estate parcel, creating a more usable and private layout. The property was then replatted and rezoned to Rural Residential, allowing flexibility for additional structures such as garages, workshops, and other supporting buildings beyond the main residence. Extensive survey and topographical work has also been completed, reducing uncertainty and saving significant time and expense for a future owner. A prime homesite has already been cleared at the highest elevation to take full advantage of the sweeping Hill Country and lake views. Visual renderings are based on actual home plans developed with a builder and design team to evaluate feasibility for the site; these plans are not included in the sale but demonstrate the scale and potential of what can be built here. Ideally located near Lake Travis and Balcones Canyonlands, with easy access to boating, hiking, and extensive outdoor recreation, as well as nearby wine bars, cocktail lounges, breweries, and the growing dining scene in Jonestown, Cedar Park, and Leander. Approximate property boundaries are marked with yellow flags. A rare opportunity where much of the most important groundwork has already been completed.
