12901 Wire Rd

Rare 13.68-acre Hill Country property with a tax advantage that materially changes the cost of ownership. Active Wildlife Valuation keeps annual property taxes low! 2025 taxes were just $1,764.55/year (~$147/month) — versus an estimated $25-30k/year at standard valuation. This massive savings gives buyers significantly more purchasing power compared with similar high-tax acreage properties. Located along Lime Creek with gated entry, paved drive, long-range Hill Country views, no city limits, no ETJ, and no HOA. The architect-designed 2,047 sq ft modern farmhouse, built in 2015, offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, two living areas, spray foam insulation, Low-E windows, and zoned high-efficiency heat pumps. Outdoor living includes a large deck overlooking a designer in-ground pool and 12-seat spa. The 1,500 sq ft fully conditioned building, built in 2018, 200-amp service, multiple 240V drops, EV charger plug, two-post vehicle lift (easily removed if desired), storage loft, and half bath. Built with 2x6 framing, foam insulation, HVAC, utilities, and 19' ceilings, it was designed to easily add 1,500 sq ft of interior space (office/media room/bedrooms/bathrooms, full mother-in-law suite, etc.). Flexibility for a hobby shop, business use, guest space, studio, or added living area while preserving the 6-car garage/shop space. Additional improvements include a 40' x 12' paved and covered RV pad with electric, water, and sewer hookups, plus 30' x 12' covered boat/equipment storage. This all-electric is energy-POSITIVE via a 24kW owned solar system with Enphase monitoring. Perfect pH water comes from a 20,000-gallon rainwater collection system with UV sterilization, backed by a well. 25 minutes to downtown Austin, 8 minutes to H-E-B, 11 minutes to Costco, 13 minutes to Cedar Park Regional Medical Center, and zoned to Leander ISD. A rare combination of privacy, infrastructure, low carrying costs, expansion potential all with immediate proximity to city convenience.
