What’s the reason for the long time love affair with the hill country of central Texas? Maybe it’s the panoramic views of sunrises or sunsets or perhaps the vast canyons waiting to be explored. For some, it’s miles of meadows and creeks fed by underground springs. And yet for others, it’s all about the livestock in fenced pastures or riding arenas for the horses. Austin is within close proximity to some of the most beautiful ranch properties and acreage in central Texas. These properties offer ideal escapes to rural areas, but are close enough to city amenities when you need them.
