Del Valle, TX 78617 (Travis County)
About this property
Position your next major investment in one of Central Texas’ fastest-growing corridors. This 149.75-acre tract is ideally located just off Highway 71 near SH 130, with TxDOT-reported traffic counts of approximately 50,000–66,000 vehicles per day along the highway. The property features approximately 1,079 feet of paved frontage on Richards Drive and extends more than one mile in depth. Situated outside the city limits yet within Austin’s ETJ and an Opportunity Zone, the site provides substantial flexibility for large-scale commercial or mixed-use development. The land’s natural characteristics support a premier campus environment, with mature, scattered oak trees near the frontage, gently rolling pastureland, and a sizable pond toward the rear—well suited for integrated green space and trail systems. The property is currently being grazed to preserve the agricultural valuation. Surrounded by accelerating growth, including the nearby "Revelry" residential development, the site is approximately 10–15 minutes from Circuit of The Americas (COTA), Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA), Tesla Gigafactory, SpaceX operations, and other major employers driving regional expansion. An additional contiguous 84 acres is also available, offering a rare opportunity to assemble a significantly larger footprint – see agent for details. Private showings available by appointment to view this exceptional opportunity.
