Fourteen miles west of downtown Austin (think "Austin Zoo") --just beyond the city's accelerating edge--lies a rare
and increasingly elusive offering: 6.41 acres of preserved Texas Hill Country, suspended in time. Rawhide is not simply
a property. It is a vantage point. Approached by a winding drive that gradually reveals sky, stone, and sweeping
horizon, the estate unfolds as a private sanctuary surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected native land. The City
of Austin, The Nature Conservancy, and preservation stewards have quietly ensured what few properties can claim
today: enduring seclusion within reach of a world-class city. From its elevated perch, the home surveys thousands of
acres of wooded valleys and rolling limestone hills. Westerly views capture golden sunsets that spill across the
ridgelines. To the south and east, native terrain stretches uninterrupted, a living canvas of oak and cedar. At night, the
absence of light pollution restores a spectacle long forgotten by most urban dwellers -- a sky dense with stars. An
800-foot well with 2,500-gallon constant-pressure storage provides independent water access--a valuable asset in
Central Texas. What makes Rawhide extraordinary is not merely its acreage, but its context. Though conveniently
located near 290's growth corridor, Bee Cave, and Dripping Springs, the estate feels
untouched--protected by watershed preservation that buffers it from encroaching development. This is land that will
not be replicated. For some, Rawhide is a private family compound waiting for its next chapter. For others, it is a
canvas for architectural reinvention--an opportunity to design a contemporary Hill Country estate on irreplaceable
ground. In a region defined by rapid transformation, Rawhide remains an anomaly: a quiet, elevated oasis where
Austin's skyline glows faintly in the distance, and the horizon still belongs to nature. PLEASE ASK YOUR AGENT FOR A DOWNLOADABLE INFO PACKAGE ABOUT THIS SPECIAL PROPERTY.
