Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Smithwick Hills Ranch is a 220-acre ranch property in the Texas Hill Country with an agricultural exemption in place. The site includes multiple natural features, including hilltops, valleys, bottom land, seasonal creeks lined with pecan trees, and areas of wildflowers through spring and summer.

The ranch offers approximately 1 mile of FM 1431 frontage. A November 2025 engineering study is complete, outlining water infrastructure capacity across three build scenarios. Depending on waterline size, 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, with water service provided by Texas Water Utilities using an LCRA surface water source.

On-site 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 located on a hilltop, along with a separate 2-car garage that could be converted into additional living space.
