11248 Tom Sassman Rd
About this property
Overview This 28.5± acre tract just south of Austin sits between the Austin and San Antonio growth corridors, in one of the fastest-growing regions in Texas. Mature hardwoods, a wet-weather creek, and three homes with utilities connected give it a private, secluded setting. It is also half a mile from Highway 183, 0.6 miles from State Highway 45, and 15 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, which is rare access this close to the city. The property works for commercial development, a recreational retreat, or a long-term hold in the path of growth. Commercial Opportunity Highway 183 and SH 45 connect quickly to I-35 and SH 130, the region’s two main north-south routes. With that access and mostly flat terrain, the tract is a strong candidate for commercial use as development keeps pushing outward from Austin. Improvements Three homes, each connected to utilities, can serve as housing, rental income, or guest accommodations while the land is held or developed. A barn and round pen support livestock or horses, so the property can be used from day one. Land & Water The land is mostly flat and wooded with mature Osage orange, cedar elm, oak, mesquite, and hackberry. The trees give privacy and shade even though major highways are close by. A wet-weather creek runs through the property, and a tank provides additional surface water. Location The property is about 25 minutes from downtown Austin, 15 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, 35 minutes from San Marcos, and 1 hour 15 minutes from San Antonio.
