Simply put, this may be the best live-water offering within 45 minutes of Austin on less than 25 acres. Located just outside of Bastrop, this remarkable 22.33± acre property combines approximately 882 feet of year-round Piney Creek frontage with close proximity to Lake Bastrop and extensive neighboring LCRA-owned land. Together, those features create a rare recreational setting with exceptional water, privacy, and a much lower likelihood of significant future development immediately around the property. Piney Creek winds through mature bottomland hardwoods, while a downstream dam creates a deep, wide stretch of spring-fed water that feels more like a private river or lake than a typical Central Texas creek.
Beyond the water, the property is set up to be enjoyed immediately. A well-kept, 1,680-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath home provides a comfortable place to entertain family and friends, while the surrounding acreage offers privacy, recreation, and an incredible escape. With Lake Bastrop only minutes away and exceptional fishing directly out the back door, this is a turnkey Central Texas retreat that would be extremely difficult to replicate.

This setup allows the next owner to begin enjoying the property and water immediately without having to assemble all of the recreational and maintenance equipment separately.
Water is what separates this property from almost anything else currently available in the area. Piney Creek provides approximately 882 feet of live-water frontage along the property. The spring-fed creek holds water year-round and is impounded by a downstream dam, creating a deep and exceptionally scenic stretch of water that reaches approximately 12–15 feet in depth through portions of the channel.
The large bend in Piney Creek is lined with towering mature native bottomland hardwoods, creating a beautiful and secluded setting for fishing, boating, swimming, and relaxing along the water. The property also features two ponds, further enhancing its recreational appeal.
The residence is supplied by a private water well, providing an additional on-site water source for the property.
The property offers a combination of usable upland around the existing homesite and heavily wooded creek-bottom terrain leading toward Piney Creek. Much of the lower portion of the property lies within the floodplain, which has helped preserve the natural riparian character along the creek and its impressive stands of mature hardwoods.
The elevated area surrounding the existing residence provides approximately 1.78± acres outside of the mapped floodplain and offers additional space for someone looking to build a larger primary residence while retaining the existing home for guests or recreational use. A significant portion of the property is also bordered by LCRA-owned land, helping preserve the surrounding natural setting and reducing the likelihood of future development immediately adjacent to the property.
The combination of year-round water, mature creek-bottom timber, and surrounding protected habitat creates an excellent environment for native wildlife. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, and a variety of native birds and small game can be seen throughout the property and surrounding area.
The fishing is one of the property’s standout recreational features. Piney Creek supports largemouth bass, catfish, bluegill, crappie, and spotted gar, with the current owners reporting bass weighing up to approximately 10 pounds. Combined with the nearby recreational opportunities on Lake Bastrop, the property offers outstanding year-round fishing and outdoor recreation.
None available.
