Newly Announced Parkland Ensures Abundant
Open Space, Connection with Nature
With this week’s announcements detailing the latest in Travis
County’s extensive parkland acquisitions, conservation and
preservation are on the minds of many in Central Texas. With more
people seeking to live, work and play while immersed in nature,
Peacock Preserve, a Conservation Community, seeks to become a
complement to Travis County’s investment in protecting open space
and parkland.
Peacock Preserve is a nearly 1,400-acre low-density, ranchette
community featuring 80 properties of varying size from 12.5 acres
to nearly 40 acres. Peacock Preserve is a Conservation Community
protecting open space on every property, outside of a 2-acre
building envelope. Offering pristine views of the Texas Hill
Country and one of the most expansive, conservation-friendly
developments in the region, Peacock Preserve sits just west of Bee
Cave. The size of these ranchettes and the open space protection
will ensure optimal privacy and natural beauty for each and every
homesite. Along with this commitment to protecting native areas
comes meaningful tax benefits through participation in the County’s
1-D-1 Wildlife tax exemption.
Years ago, Travis County made a substantial investment in the
2,427-acre Reimers Ranch, a spectacular property featuring the
iconic Hamilton Pool. With the announcement of their two most
recent parkland acquisitions, Travis County has assembled 3,900
acres of permanent preservation land. When including Peacock
Preserve, private conservations, and public parkland, the total
protected conservation land reaches nearly 12,000 acres enveloping
Peacock Preserve within its expanse.
Travis County’s acquisitions are a substantial benefit for our
future residents, protecting views and allowing residents to
interact daily with this incredible shared resource. Peacock
Preserve has become an island within this vast open space allowing
a limited group of fortunate property owners to live within this
incredible native area. Additionally, with these acquisitions,
Peacock Preserve has become one of the last opportunities to own
property in this region. There is simply no remaining land for any
meaningful development.
Peacock Preserve features some of the highest peaks in Travis
County, with all 80 homesites designed to minimize the impact on
nature and maximize views and privacy. Some of the finest acreage
in the community will be set aside for the shared use of Peacock
Preserve residents, including the historic Peacock homestead on the
banks of Lick Creek, and multiple hilltop peaks which will be
preserved as HOA parks. The community will also feature 12 miles of
multi-use trails. Peacock Preserve will be the most
conservation-forward project of its kind in the region, with
dedicated view protection, parks, valleys and streams providing the
backdrop for an unmatched experience.
The project was conceived by Peacock Capital, who has a
longstanding reputation for prioritizing conservation in their
other projects. The development group is known for putting land
preservation in the Texas Hill Country at the heart of their
decisions. Their previous conservation-centered development,
Preservation Ranch, validated this concept and quickly sold
out.
A statement released by Peacock Capital said: “Our approach to
land stewardship and thoughtful community planning supports our
commitment that the Texas Hill Country remain as unspoiled as
possible for generations to come. 90% of the land in Peacock
Preserve is set aside as conservation areas. Peacock Preserve
represents a vision to create a one-of-a-kind, low-density
development that merges privacy, natural beauty, and a love of
nature. With Travis County’s unwavering commitment to conservation,
Peacock Preserve will become a complementary residential oasis
within this vast open space and a testament to our collective
responsibility to protect and preserve our heritage. It presents an
opportunity for a distinctly different community, offering
residents an unparalleled living experience, surrounded by
unspoiled land.”
The initial phase of development will release 37 homesites,
ranging in size from 12.5 to 40 acres. Homeowners may select from
Peacock Preserve’s preferred list of architects and builders or
they may use their own, subject to a rigorous set of design review
guidelines and standards.
Site improvements are expected to begin at Peacock Preserve in
early 2025, with home construction starting in 2026. Homesites in
the initial phase begin at $1.5M. Homes in the private, gated
community will feature underground utilities including municipal
water, telecom and data. The community is located in the highly
regarded Lake Travis ISD, including a new high school which will be
located just down the street from the development’s entrance in
2027.
Located 10 minutes from Bee Cave and just 30 minutes from
downtown Austin, Peacock Preserve offers a secluded setting at one
with nature, while still being conveniently situated near the
area’s shopping, dining and other attractions and amenities. For
those who seek a life of tranquility, luxury, and harmony with the
land, Peacock Preserve offers an opportunity to be part of a truly
exceptional community.
