Overview
Smithwick Hills Ranch, situated in the Highland Lakes area, is a 220-acre property located 10 minutes from Marble Falls, 20 minutes from Horseshoe Bay, 55 minutes from Downtown Austin, and 1 hour from Fredericksburg. The ranch offers 1 mile of frontage on FM 1431. It is suitable as a full-time ranch, recreational property, 1031 investment hold, hunting ranch, or potential development. An agricultural exemption is currently in place. A November 2025 engineering study outlines water infrastructure capacity across three build scenarios. The property can support approximately 300 LUEs with a 6-inch line, 500 LUEs with an 8-inch line, or up to 1,400 LUEs with a 12-inch line. All configurations include a transmission main spanning 9,500 linear feet, a treatment plant, storage tanks, and a booster station. Water service would be provided by Texas Water Utilities, drawing from an LCRA surface water source. The ranch features hill tops, valleys, bottom land with seasonal creeks lined with pecan trees, and hills with wildflowers. There are several hill tops that would make suitable build sites. Water sources include a seasonal creek, 2 small ponds, and 4 water wells (10 gpm, 2 gpm, 1.5 gpm, and 1 gpm). Improvements include an old 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch house on the hill top, with a separate 2-car garage that could be converted into another living space.
