Description
Wilbarger Creek Preserve is a country oasis located in Elgin, TX, in Bastrop County, about 30 minutes east of downtown Austin. This 144-acre land tract for sale presents a 19.41-acre building envelope with the balance of the property protected by a conservation easement. The property has been perpetually lifted so the indigenous flora and fauna can continue to thrive as a balanced ecosystem. Enjoy the sights and sounds of songbirds, and whitetail deer, as they forage along your very own stretch of Wilbarger Creek. Ducks and other species of waterfowl thrive in this wetlands sanctuary. The conservation easement is multifaceted and serves as a recreational property and nature preserve. In addition, it could serve as an estate planning tool to greatly reduce the size of your estate and lower your potential tax liabilities.* The Preserve offers a recreational retreat with a site for a custom home or lodge built within the designated building envelope. Play host to family and friends or even host a corporate retreat with your colleagues in this large, park-like setting. Outdoors types will enjoy harvesting deer or ducks or dropping a line in the pond and catching fish for a true field-to-table dining experience. The conservation easement protects this property from becoming a residential development or a shopping mall. Future generations can enjoy it for many years to come. *Please be advised to seek the advice of an accountant or tax attorney regarding tax liabilities.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been very impressed with the leadership and curriculum at Elgin High School. They have partnered with ACC Elgin and students are now graduating with enough college credits to be juniors in college! They work hard to stay up to date on all of the latest technology and academics. I have met several parents who were very pleased with the education their kids received at Elgin High School. As far as college and career readiness, Elgin High School is top notch!Other Review6y ago - Elgin Middle School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI recently moved to the area, and I am not pleased with the school district as a whole. I have 2 children that are enrolled in school, and I am questioning how they passed to go to the next grade. I find myself teaching them more than they learn in school. There are no parent teacher conferences and you will not know your child's progress unless you ask. Even asking, they would tell you "Your child is doing great", but I see otherwise. The middle school is ran like a prison because the kids only focus on dating and fighting. There were too many fights that occurred in one year and no respect for each other or the teachers. The schools are overcrowded and outdated. This was not a good experience at all. I hate having to pay taxes to go towards such a waste. Lastly the worst thing is there is no good communication with the district transportation department. I had to take and pick up my kids every day because after I enrolled them and filled out the form so my children would be assigned a bus and they never responded or sent anything. If you ask, no one knows anything either. They have a summer bridge program where the students are required to attend for 3 weeks and said they would be providing transportation during the summer and once again, they did not follow through nor respond to emails. So, I am having to figure out a schedule for my job that will allow me to pick them up.Other Review2y ago - Elgin Elementary School
