Peacock Preserve spans 1,400+ acres of pristine Texas Hill Country, with 90% of the land permanently set aside for conservation. Together with adjacent protected lands, the community is part of more than 12,000 acres of preserved wilderness, creating a level of privacy and natural immersion that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere.
Residents enjoy private access to 12 miles of trails, flowing creeks, native wildlife, and shared spaces designed to exist in harmony with the land. Located just 10 minutes from Bee Cave and 36 minutes from downtown Austin, Peacock Preserve connects the serenity of the Hill Country with the energy of West Austin and the Lake Travis area, without compromising an acre of privacy.
Your Home, Immersed in Stunning Texas Hill Country Land
This community is more than just a place to build a home. It’s a chance to own a piece of one of the most ecologically significant landscapes in Central Texas. Each homesite at Peacock Preserve is a true ranchette, not a subdivided lot. Your 2-acre building envelope sits within a much larger parcel of 12.5 to 24.29 acres, and the land beyond your envelope is protected open space, not future development. With only 80 homesites planned across the entire property, the density here is a fraction of what you’ll find in typical Bee Cave and West Austin communities. Neighbors are measured in acres, not feet.
Why Choose Peacock Preserve?
Financial Advantages That Matter
Every homesite qualifies for Travis County’s 1-D-1 Wildlife Management Tax Exemption. This means the land outside your 2-acre building envelope is taxed at agricultural rates rather than market value, which can save owners tens of thousands of dollars per year. Pair that with Texas’s 0% state income tax and pricing starting at $100k per acre, and Peacock Preserve stands out as one of the strongest values in the Bee Cave and West Austin market. Plateau Land & Wildlife Management handles all exemption compliance and annual reporting on your behalf, so you get the full benefit without the paperwork
Connected to Everything, Removed from It All
Two gated entries provide secure access to both Highway 71 and Hamilton Pool Road, putting you minutes from Bee Cave’s shopping and dining. Hamilton Pool Preserve, the wineries and breweries of Dripping Springs, the boutiques of Wimberley, and Baylor Scott & White Hospital are all a short drive away. The community is within the highly rated Lake Travis Independent School District, served by West Cypress Hills Elementary, Lake Travis Middle School, and Lake Travis High School, with a new high school in the same district opening nearby in 2027.
Trails, Parks & Life Lived Outdoors
The trail system connects four hilltop HOA parks, creek crossings, and scenic overlooks across the property, with routes suited for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The historic Peacock homestead on Lick Creek serves as a central gathering space for the community, while the surrounding conservation lands offer opportunities for wildlife viewing, birding, and photography. With dark, star-filled skies and zero commercial development, the outdoors here feel genuinely untamed.
