106.472± Acres | State Highway 21 East, Bastrop County, Texas
Property ID 8739006 | Geo ID R44116 | Legal: A11 Bastrop Town Tract
A Rare Assemblage in the Heart of the Lost Pines
Tucked into the rolling, pine-shaded countryside east of the City of Bastrop, this 106.472-acre tract offers a genuine slice of the Lost Pines — the unique ecological pocket of loblolly pine forest found nowhere else in Central Texas. Wooded canopy, gently rolling topography, and a wet-weather drainage creek running through the interior give the land the feel of deep-woods seclusion, while direct frontage on State Highway 21 keeps it fully connected to Bastrop, Highway 71, and the greater Austin metro.
This is unimproved land in its natural state — a blank canvas for a private family retreat, a recreational hunting and hiking property, a ranchette, or a longer-term investment hold in one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas.
The Land Itself
Size: 106.472 acres, surveyed and platted (James E. Garon & Associates, October 2023)
Frontage: Curving frontage along the southeasterly right-of-way of State Highway 21, giving the tract genuine highway visibility and multiple potential access points
Topography & Cover: Rolling terrain under mature pine and hardwood canopy, characteristic of the Lost Pines forest belt
Water Feature: A Zone A drainage/flood-hazard corridor crosses the interior of the property, marking a natural creek drainage — a scenic feature for wildlife and recreational users, and a planning consideration for any future homesite or development layout
Access: A recorded 30-foot access easement serves the interior of the tract in addition to highway frontage
Shape: An elongated, irregular boundary that runs from the Highway 21 frontage back through the property's wooded interior, bordered along its long northeastern leg (3,151+ linear feet) by the neighboring Johnston family tract
Location & Neighbors
The tract sits within a corridor of large, multi-generational family land holdings — bordered by the Johnny Lee Johnston tract to the northeast and framed by additional Small family acreage nearby, including tracts held by Jim E. Small and James E. Small. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department land and the Lost Pines Ranch property sit in the surrounding area, underscoring the natural, low-density character of this stretch of Bastrop County. Downtown Bastrop, the Colorado River, and Bastrop State Park's famed pine forest are all a short drive away, while Highway 21 provides a direct route toward Austin and the broader Central Texas growth corridor.
Why This Property Stands Out
Scale rarely available this close to Austin — over 100 contiguous acres with highway frontage is an increasingly rare offering in Bastrop County
Authentic Lost Pines setting — the timbered, rolling landscape is part of what makes this micro-region ecologically and visually distinct from the rest of Central Texas
Flexible potential — suited to a private estate, recreational retreat, timber and wildlife management, or a patient long-term land investment
Highway 21 frontage — direct road access and visibility, a meaningful advantage over interior, landlocked tracts
