About this property
Welcome to an extraordinary unrestricted 21-acre legacy property where natural beauty, privacy, and versatility come together to create the ultimate Texas homestead. As you wind beneath a canopy of towering heritage oaks, you'll discover a property that feels worlds away from the city while remaining just minutes from Austin, Tesla Gigafactory, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Gently rolling terrain is complemented by three ponds originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, providing year-round water, breathtaking scenery, and outstanding fishing stocked with bass, bluegill, and catfish. Thoughtfully designed improvements accommodate a wide variety of lifestyles. The charming 1,589-square-foot main residence has 3 beds, 2 baths and a beautiful screened-in porch that seamlessly extends your living space into the surrounding landscape. A separate 437-square-foot guest house and 600-square-foot studio provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, a home office or potential rental income. For those needing room to work, store equipment, or pursue hobbies, two 1,200-square-foot metal buildings provide an impressive 2,400 square feet of shop and storage space, making the property equally suited for ranching, farming, business operations, or recreation. With no restrictions, this exceptional property offers the freedom to create the lifestyle you've always envisioned—whether that's a private family retreat, equestrian property, working homestead, multi-generational estate, event venue, Airbnb compound, or future investment opportunity. Properties offering this combination of historic water features, mature trees, unrestricted acreage, multiple residences, extensive outbuildings, and a prime location just outside Austin rarely come to market. Turn-key and ready for its next steward, 270 Dry Creek Road is more than a home—it's a place where memories are made for generations.

The Colorado River flows through Travis County, impounded into Lake Travis and Lake Austin, key recreation anchors for the region. The Balcones Escarpment marks the transition from the limestone Hill Country in the west to the Blackland Prairie in the east. Barton Creek and its tributaries carve spring-fed swimming holes and nature preserves within the urban fabric.

Austin's economy is anchored by the University of Texas, state government, and a massive technology sector that has attracted Apple, Tesla, Oracle, Dell, and hundreds of startups. Travis County acreage properties command premium prices reflecting proximity to the Austin job market, major airports, and world-class amenities.
