About this property
Brand new 2026 Clayton double-wide on a fully improved one-acre lot — never occupied. 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1,475 sq ft with an open floor plan, kitchen island, pantry, and all-new appliances that convey. Seller contributing up to $10,000 toward buyer's closing costs. Set on a true engineered permanent slab foundation with full skirting — not pier-and-beam — so the home qualifies for FHA Title II, VA, and conventional financing. Aerobic septic system with spray distribution. The entire one-acre perimeter is enclosed with new wood fencing and a 24-foot double swinging gate — built for privacy, security, and a true country feel. Front and rear decks complete the outdoor setup. Unincorporated Caldwell County — no city ETJ, no city taxes, no city restrictions, and no HOA. The subdivision is governed by recorded deed restrictions with no association, no dues, and no board — protection without the overhead. Real country living is allowed here: chickens, goats, sheep, horses, and FFA/4-H animals are permitted within the limits set by the recorded restrictions. New-construction quality on a fully improved country lot. Nothing left to do but move in.

Location
About the Area
161 Azalea Ct 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.
