About this property
Tired of your neighbor's house sitting three feet from yours? I don't blame you. Stop paying Austin property taxes for a postage-stamp lot where an HOA committee tells you what color you're allowed to paint your front door. Here is the reality out on Taylorsville Road in Caldwell County: 2.052 acres, the survey is already in hand so you aren't wasting time guessing where your property lines are. Minimal restrictions means freedom. Build what makes sense for you and your family, not what a developer dictates. If you want a shop, build a shop. If you want space for the kids and dogs to run without hitting a privacy fence every five seconds, here it is. You get all this breathing room and you're still just a straight 30 minute highway shoot into Austin when you have to clock in at the office.

About the Area
TBD Taylorsville Rd is located in Dale, Texas, in Caldwell County. Caldwell County lies at the southern edge of the Hill Country transition, centered on Lockhart, the Barbecue Capital of Texas, home to legendary pitmasters whose craft has drawn food pilgrims from around the world. The county blends working-class Texas tradition with proximity to the booming Austin corridor.
The San Marcos River forms part of the county's northern boundary, and the Plum Creek watershed drains much of the county's rolling blackland prairie and post oak savanna. The terrain is gentler than the Hill Country proper, with broad agricultural plains transitioning to wooded creek bottoms.
The 78616 zip code has a median household income of $70,148, a median home value of $174,800, and a median age of 32.2. The average household size is 3.48 people. The zip code has a total population of 10,008.
Agriculture, barbecue tourism, manufacturing, and Austin metro spillover define Caldwell County's economy. Lockhart has seen significant investment as buyers priced out of Austin seek affordable acreage and small-town living within 40 miles of downtown.
