768 N Walnut Springs RD, Johnson City TX 78636

Lot 26 is one of the largest and most private homesites in The Preserve at Walnut Springs — a gated 2,000-acre ranch community with just 66 lots, an hour from both Austin and San Antonio. At 7.01 acres with a private well already in place, trees maintained, underbrush cleared, and multiple natural build sites established, the land is primed and ready to break ground. The ag-exemption conveys and there are no city taxes, making this a well-positioned piece of Hill Country to hold and build on. The property backs to Tow Creek — a seasonal rock-bottom creek — with no homes behind you and unobstructed Hill Country views. Mature live oaks spread across the acreage, their canopies creating natural pockets of shade and privacy that make the land feel tucked away. It's a quiet, private setting within a community that has real amenities when you want them: 22 miles of riding and hiking trails, an 8-stall equestrian barn with a covered arena, stocked fishing ponds, and a spring-fed swimming hole. The Hill Country-style clubhouse, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a putting green round out the social side. What makes The Preserve distinct is the ranch lifestyle that comes built-in. Longhorn cattle roam the grounds, maintained by an onsite Ranch Manager — owners get the authentic feel of a working ranch without carrying that responsibility themselves. An onsite concierge handles the details. Whether you're out on the trails in the morning or sitting under the oaks watching the light change in the evening, this is a place that rewards the people who've been looking for a real piece of the Hill Country — well-kept, well-positioned, and ready to build on.
