About this home
THE WATERFORD- This uniquely positioned homesite rests atop a secluded and very private bench overlooking the community lake and Bee Creek. To the South are long-view corridors overlooking the river valley encompassing Bee Creek. This property shares a fence with a 750+ acre conservation ranch ensuring continued privacy. Views beyond the lake stretch toward the heart of Preservation Ranch, where the horizontal glen rose formations can be seen etched into the distant hillsides. Truly spectacular and one-of-a-kind views and homesite with the perfect potential home placement orientation of rear views facing East and sunsets on the front or side of the future home.
Preservation Ranch is a unique community with only thirty-two individual ranchettes spread over 1,000 acres of private, high-fenced hill country land. With miles of Bee Creek and other unnamed tributaries running throughout this area, you will not find another offering quite like this anywhere else, all within 15 minutes of the Hill Country Galleria, Whole Foods & HEB grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping.
The most striking benefit of living within Preservation Ranch is the lifestyle: Secluded, Private, and Elegant. Some say this unique area reminds them of Rancho Santa Fe, CA. Preservation Ranch is truly a rare find because of its close proximity to Bee Cave and Dripping Springs, but with an Austin address. Located in Lake Travis ISD with the new Travis County parks expansion around the corner. A perfect blend of hill country ranch life with the conveniences of the city just down the road. All property in Preservation Ranch is under a wildlife exemption maintained by the HOA. This exemption is challenging to get, but the work has been done for you and will help significantly reduce property tax burdens for landowners here.
Preservation Ranch affords unique Texas Hill Country homesites to create the luxury estate and lifestyle you and your family will treasure for many generations to come.
