11709 Mountain Top Cir, Leander, TX 78645

A remarkable opportunity to homestead or invest in 10.317 acres in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Located within Leander ISD and tucked into a quiet, scenic stretch of the landscape, this property borders a 580-acre section of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge—part of over 25,000 acres of federally protected habitat—offering lasting privacy, unspoiled views, and the rare peace of mind that comes with land preserved for generations to come. The 10.317-acre tract is surveyed from a larger 34.851-acre property, giving buyers flexibility to expand. Sellers are open to negotiating additional acreage, including the full 34.851 acres—featuring a 2-bed, 2.5-bath home, oversized garage/workshop, septic, well, and electricity—or a 24.534-acre option that includes the home and improvements while preserving a generous buffer of natural space. Whether planning a custom residence, equestrian retreat, recreational escape, or investment in a high-growth corridor, the land offers rare versatility. Its rolling terrain, location within the ETJ of Lago Vista, and lack of subdivision restrictions support a wide range of uses—from barndominiums to short-term rentals to multi-generational living. Pedernales Electric can be extended to the tract, and Jonestown Water Supply Company has confirmed a water line extension is possible—making residential or development plans that much more attainable. The area’s minimal permitting requirements, accessible utilities, and minimal oversight help keep the path to building refreshingly straightforward. Roughly 20 minutes from Cedar Park and under an hour from downtown Austin, the site is easily accessible yet fully removed from the noise. The blend of usable acreage, top-tier school district, and long-term refuge adjacency makes this a standout opportunity in western Travis County.
