Description

This 9.48-acre tract just west of Rockdale offers an exceptional location for a wide range of commercial uses. With over 1,400 feet of Highway 79 frontage and level topography, the property is well-suited for retail, hospitality, travel-oriented uses, and other commercial development. Located within the Rockdale ETJ, the property is in close proximity to city utilities. A 12-inch Southwest Milam Water line runs along the highway frontage, and Oncor Electric provides power to the site. The property includes an older rock home, multiple barns and outbuildings, and existing utilities. Scattered post oak trees and a mature pecan grove add character, while sandy loam soils provide excellent building conditions. Positioned just 800 feet west of the Rockdale city limits, the area shows strong potential for future growth. The site is under 10 minutes from the Sandow Lakes development and within 30 minutes of Taylor and the Samsung campus. Approximately 1 hour to the Austin, B/CS and Temple areas. Traffic counts along Highway 79 are approximately 10,000 vehicles per day. The property currently carries an ag exemption, offering low holding costs. A rare opportunity to secure significant highway frontage in a growing Central Texas corridor.
