A rare and expansive 777-acre ranch on Lake Travis in the Texas Hill Country — combining the longtime Baker Family/Resort Ranch and the Wiley/Batte Family Ranch — has been listed for $100 million, making it one of the most significant undeveloped waterfront properties available in the region. The estate includes more than a mile of private shoreline along Lake Travis and the Pedernales River, a mix of flatlands and rolling hills with three hilltops offering expansive 60-mile views, and a boat marina with deep-water access despite historically low lake levels. Held privately for over four decades, the land’s varied terrain and dramatic vistas make it suitable for equestrian use, custom homes, recreation or other luxury amenities.

The listing highlights both the investment and lifestyle potential of this property — whether as a private family compound, luxury resort, corporate retreat, or preserved legacy estate — set against a backdrop of dwindling large parcels around Lake Travis. Infrastructure such as water, wastewater systems, and permitted water rights of nearly 49 million gallons per year through 2064 add to its appeal, and its location within the highly rated Lake Travis Independent School District and about a 30-minute drive from Austin’s airport further elevate its desirability. Interest has already come from major developers, though there’s also emphasis on preserving the land’s character and history as an iconic piece of Texas heritage.
