Custom homes on acreage in Georgetown
West and northwest of Georgetown, toward Liberty Hill and Lake Georgetown, the land opens up: unrestricted tracts, no HOA, and the county as the only reviewer. It's about 40 minutes from downtown Austin and a different way to live than the master-planned communities along I-35.
Unrestricted land west of I-35.
The subdivisions get most of the attention in Georgetown, but the acreage west of Ronald Reagan Blvd and out toward Lake Georgetown is where people go when they want room. Parcels range from a couple of acres to working ranches. Some are in Georgetown's extraterritorial jurisdiction, which affects permitting; some are purely county.
Schools are Georgetown ISD across most of the area, with Liberty Hill ISD taking over to the west. As with any rural parcel, verify the district by address.
Building on land here
On unrestricted land, the budget is decided by the site before the house. We walk the parcel and settle the big questions first: water source, septic feasibility and soil, power and internet, ETJ status and what it means for permits, floodplain and easements, and the driveway. Then we place the house for the view and the trees and give you a high and a low estimate before you buy.
Every one of our plans was drawn for acreage, so a two-acre tract leaves room for the house, a pool, and a shop or barn.

The same process we use everywhere, with the land questions answered first.
We walk the parcel first.
Water, septic and soil, power, access, floodplain, easements and the driveway. We settle those before anything is drawn, because they decide the budget.
We handle the county and the ETJ.
Rural land can sit in a city's extraterritorial jurisdiction without being in the city. We sort out which rules apply and run the permits.

Questions about Georgetown acreage.
What should I check before buying acreage near Georgetown?
Water, septic and soil, power and internet, whether the parcel is in the city's ETJ, floodplain and easements, and driveway cost. We walk all of it with you before you close.
Does ETJ matter?
Yes. Parcels inside Georgetown's extraterritorial jurisdiction can carry city subdivision and platting rules even though they're outside the city limits. We check that first.
Which school district will I be in?
Mostly Georgetown ISD, with Liberty Hill ISD to the west. Verify the parcel with the district's zone lookup.
Can you help me find a parcel?
Yes. Demitri works with the agents and developers who handle land here and can point you at tracts before they list.
