About Tahitian Village, TX Real Estate
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in Tahitian Village
Tahitian Village is made up of several platted units, each with its own character and lot configurations. The core of the community, simply called Tahitian Village, accounts for the bulk of the activity, with wooded lots ranging from entry-level parcels to improved residential properties. Tahitian Village Unit 2, Unit 4, and Unit 5 round out the community with additional sections that offer a similar piney-woods atmosphere. The subdivision layout is older, which means wider roads in some sections, established tree cover, and the kind of quiet that newer master-planned communities simply cannot replicate.
The property mix in Tahitian Village skews heavily toward land and custom residential builds. Raw lots are plentiful, making this a genuine option for buyers who want to own land in Bastrop County and build later, or work with a builder now. Christopher David Homes, Blue Peak Construction, and Jay Builders are among the active builders in the area, alongside smaller local contractors who know the piney woods terrain well. Buyers also consider nearby Bastrop for additional residential inventory in the broader county market.
Because so much of the inventory is land, buyers in Tahitian Village need to be aware of deed restrictions, utility availability, and septic requirements before purchasing a lot. Many properties are on well and septic, so working with an agent who knows the Bastrop County market is important for due diligence.
Schools in Tahitian Village
Tahitian Village falls within Bastrop ISD, one of the larger school districts in Central Texas. Elementary-age students may be assigned to Bluebonnet, Camino Real, Cedar Creek, Colony Oaks, Emile, Lost Pines, or Mina elementary schools depending on their address within the district. Middle school options include Bastrop Middle, Bastrop Intermediate, Cedar Creek Middle, and Riverside. High school students attend either Bastrop High School or Genesis, Bastrop ISD's alternative high school campus.
Bastrop ISD has invested significantly in its facilities over the past decade, and the district serves a wide geographic area spanning from the city of Bastrop out through the surrounding unincorporated communities. Prospective buyers with school-age children should confirm campus assignments directly with the district, as boundaries within a community this size can shift.
Real Estate Market Overview
The Tahitian Village real estate market is defined by its range. Because the area includes everything from raw land parcels to fully built custom homes, buyers encounter a wide spectrum of property types and price points under one geographic umbrella. The land-heavy inventory means that buyers can still find genuine value in Bastrop County at a time when the broader Austin metro has pushed many buyers farther out.
Homes in the built residential segment tend to be three and four-bedroom single-family properties, many of them custom or semi-custom builds on half-acre or larger lots. The wooded setting means homes often feel more private than their lot sizes suggest. Days on market here tend to run longer than in higher-density Austin suburbs, which is typical for rural and semi-rural land markets where buyers take more time to evaluate septic, well, and utility factors before committing. For buyers shopping across Austin area homes for sale, Tahitian Village offers a distinct alternative to the master-planned corridor.
Land transactions are a significant part of the market here, which sets Tahitian Village apart from most Austin-area neighborhoods. Whether a buyer is purchasing a lot to build now or hold for later, the market has remained active with consistent interest from both local and out-of-area buyers seeking affordable Bastrop County land.
New Construction in Tahitian Village
New construction is actively happening in Tahitian Village, with multiple builders working on spec homes and custom projects throughout the subdivision units. Christopher David Homes and Blue Peak Construction have been among the more visible builders, and Jay Builders has also been active in the area. The custom nature of most new construction here means buyers have more opportunity to work with builders directly on finishes and floor plans than they would in a production-builder community.
For buyers interested in building, the process in Tahitian Village involves purchasing a lot separately and then contracting with a builder, rather than buying through a builder's sales office. This gives buyers more flexibility but also requires more coordination upfront. An experienced local agent can help identify lots with the right utility access and deed restrictions for a given build plan.
Getting Around Tahitian Village
Tahitian Village sits just outside the city of Bastrop, with State Highway 71 serving as the primary corridor connecting the area to the broader region. Downtown Bastrop is roughly a five to ten-minute drive, putting restaurants, coffee shops, the Colorado River waterfront, and essential services within easy reach. The community's position along SH-71 also makes Austin accessible, with downtown Austin approximately 35 to 40 miles to the west, depending on the specific route.
The commute to Austin runs along SH-71 westbound, passing through Elgin and into the eastern suburbs before reaching the city. Traffic is generally manageable outside of peak hours, though the stretch into Austin can back up during morning and evening rush. Buyers who work remotely or have flexible schedules find the Tahitian Village location particularly appealing, as the tradeoff between distance and the piney-woods lifestyle tilts in their favor.
The Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is roughly 25 to 30 miles from Tahitian Village via SH-71, making this one of the more airport-convenient communities in Bastrop County. For day-to-day errands, the Bastrop Walmart, HEB, and local retailers along SH-71 cover most needs without requiring a trip into Austin.
The team at Neuhaus Realty Group works regularly with buyers and sellers throughout Bastrop County, including Tahitian Village.
