THE OFFERING
Two adjacent tracts totaling 53.45 acres on the Hwy 183 and SH 130 corridor in Caldwell County, eight miles north of Lockhart, Texas. The assemblage carries approximately 740 feet of highway frontage, two ponds, public water and electric service across both tracts, and an operating rental business already in place.
This is not raw dirt. It is 53 acres of highway frontage in the fastest growing corridor in Central Texas, with an income stream that already covers the carrying cost.
NORTH TRACT: 27.46 ACRES
Level terrain entering directly from the highway, with a sizable cleared area suitable for immediate building and open acreage behind for phased development, storage, or detention. Mature trees and natural vegetation along the rear perimeter provide a privacy screen while the front maintains full access and visibility.
Pond with pasture and pond views. Full perimeter barbed wire fencing. Electricity available on site, public water connected, public maintained asphalt road access. Dimensions 757 feet by 1,708 feet. Terrain slopes gently downward, which warrants a civil review for drainage and detention design. Septic to be installed.
Agricultural valuation in place, with 2025 taxes of $41.84. Buyer should verify rollback exposure with the Caldwell County Appraisal District prior to any change of use.
SOUTH TRACT: 25.99 ACRES
Approximately 740 feet of visibility along S Hwy 183 and SH 130, entered from Bluebonnet Road. Sold as three separate tax parcels, Caldwell CAD property IDs 15234 (10.55 acres), 15236 (14.35 acres), and 63133 (1.341 acres).
Improvements total 6,672 square feet across five site-built homes and one duplex, comprising 16 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, plus four rented lots. Unit mix ranges from a 580 square foot two bedroom to a 1,512 square foot four bedroom, with two one bedroom duplex units. Structures date to 1978 and include a guest house, outbuildings, and storage. Central air and heat plus wall units, front porches and covered porch space.
A stock pond of roughly two to three acres sits near the front of the property, functioning as both a recreational feature and a site amenity. Gently sloping pastureland with mature trees throughout. Electricity connected, public water connected, septic in place. Barbed wire fencing and public maintained asphalt road access. Dimensions 746 feet by 1,612 feet.
LOCATION
Eight miles north of Lockhart on the Hwy 183 and SH 130 corridor. Approximately 20 minutes to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and the Tesla Gigafactory, and roughly 30 minutes to San Marcos or Bastrop. Lockhart ISD. The site sits within the Austin to San Antonio growth triangle, with SH 130 linking two of the fastest growing metros in the country.
THE CORRIDOR
Caldwell County ranks among the fastest growing counties in the nation, with population above 55,000. Lockhart grew from roughly 14,400 residents in 2020 to more than 17,000 by 2024, ahead of the current development wave.
That wave is substantial. Blue Sky, a 932 acre master planned community along SH 130, has more than 3,650 single family home sites planned at an estimated $2.15 billion. Moxie adds roughly 2,500 homes across 589 acres. Perry Homes has Juniper Springs underway, and county commissioners have advanced a separate 480 home subdivision.
On the commercial side, the Lockhart Economic Development Corporation has landed a $40 million Sensei Ag greenhouse operation, a $10 million Balcones Real Estate Group facility, an expansion from Hill Country Foodworks, and continued buildout of the SH 130 Industrial Park.
TxDOT has authorized a $250 million commitment to convert 21 miles of SH 130 into a smart corridor for autonomous freight, with construction beginning in 2027. Regional leaders have begun describing SH 130 as the new I-35.
Thousands of rooftops are arriving in a submarket that has not yet built the self storage, contractor yards, truck parking, retail, flex industrial, or workforce housing to serve them. Highway frontage acreage positioned between those rooftops and the Austin employment base is early, not speculative.
POTENTIAL USES
Texas counties have no zoning authority, so a buyer avoids the rezoning process entirely. Subject to verification with Caldwell County and confirmation of ETJ status, candidate uses include:
RV park or manufactured housing community expansion. Workforce and crew housing for SH 130 industrial employers. Contractor yards and equipment storage. Self storage and RV or boat storage. Truck parking, trailer drop lots, and last mile logistics. Retail pads, fuel, and quick service on the frontage. Light industrial and flex buildings. Build to rent or residential subdivision feeding Lockhart ISD. Event and wedding venues using the ponds as an amenity. Church, private school, or institutional campus with room for phased expansion.
The three parcel structure on the south tract, combined with 53 contiguous acres overall, allows a buyer to pursue more than one of these simultaneously without competing uses crowding each other.
