Jim Bridger, Austin, Texas

Description

This private 15-acre estate features large live oaks and fascinating 19th-century ruins, creating a setting that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in the land. The current owners have thoughtfully prepared the property with a cleared homesite, a defined entry, and a one-third mile private road—allowing a buyer to step directly into the building phase. The land offers complete privacy at the end of a dead-end road with abundant wildlife. The property is part of a Wildlife Management Property Association, preserving natural habitat and long-term integrity of the land while keeping taxes low (around $23 for 2025).
