Cedar Creek, TX 78612 (Bastrop County)
About this property
Tucked between Austin and Bastrop on a private, wooded 2.59-acre homesite in desirable High View Ranch, this single-story retreat offers the peace and privacy of country living just minutes from either city. Set well back from the street amid mature trees for ample privacy, the home overlooks a shared stocked pond enjoyed by only a handful of neighboring properties. Inside, the 2,432-square-foot split floor plan features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and two living areas — flexible for everyday living, entertaining, or guests. The main living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, while the second living area connects to the fourth bedroom, a full bathroom, and the utility room — ideal as a guest suite, game room, or media room. The private primary suite is tucked away from the secondary bedrooms and includes an adjoining study, perfect for an office, studio, or reading room. The home has been well maintained, with major updates including the HVAC system (2015) with new blower (2021), roof (2012), water heater, rebuilt septic pump, freshly rebuilt back deck (2026), and an FHA/VA-compliant engineered permanent foundation. Outside, the property features a covered front porch, wooded acreage, pond views, a 16' x 12' wood workshop with loft and shingle roof, an additional storage building, and plenty of room for RVs, trailers, and equipment — all with no HOA and minimal restrictions. Located approximately 30 minutes from downtown Austin, downtown Bastrop, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, this property offers the rare combination of acreage, privacy, and functional living space rarely found this close to Austin.

Location
About the Area
229 Green Mountain Dr is located in Cedar Creek, Texas, in Bastrop County. Bastrop County sits at the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country transition zone, blending the Lost Pines forest, an isolated stand of loblolly pines separated from the East Texas Piney Woods by 100 miles, with open ranch land and the growing spillover of the Austin metro.
The Colorado River flows through the county, and the Lost Pines ecosystem creates a uniquely lush landscape unusual for Central Texas. Bastrop State Park preserves thousands of acres of pine forest that survived and recovered from the devastating 2011 wildfires.
Cedar Creek had an estimated population of 4,026 as of 2023. The 78612 zip code has a median household income of $90,925, a median home value of $239,100, and a median age of 30.5. The average household size is 3.46 people.
Bastrop County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, driven by Austin metro expansion, the Tesla Gigafactory nearby, and SpaceX's Starbase proximity. Agriculture, timber, and tourism coexist with rapid residential and commercial development.
