Hill Country Acreage

The land collectively known as the Hill Country is some of the most breathtaking acreage in the country. Although the parameters of the Texas Hill Country fluctuate depending on who you ask, it is generally thought that the area encompasses the very heart of Central Texas. The Hill Country is generally thought to be bounded by the Edwards Plateau to the west, Lampasas to the north, La Grange to the east, and the northern outskirts of San Antonio to the south.

The area boasts miles of rolling hills and seven major rivers including the Perdenales, Llano, Guadelupe, Nueces, San Antonio, Frio and Medina. These bodies of water offer plenty of opportunities for whitewater rafting, tubing, fishing, and canoeing. Other natural wonders include the Natural Bridge Cavern, numerous other cave chains, Aquarena Springs, and the Highland Lakes. The Hill Country is also home to many of Texas' most beloved historical sites including the State Capitol Building, Gruene Hall, The Alamo, many Spanish missions, and dozens of small-town historical centers. Schlitterbahn, the nation's number one waterpark is also located in the area, just an hour outside of Austin in New Braunfels. The Hill Country's beauty and opportunities are no secret as over five million tourists flock to the region every year. Rodeos, dude ranches, antique shopping, hunting, historical trails, museums, and tubing are just some of the reasons why the region is one of the most sought after in the country.

As one of the first areas settled in the American Southwest, The Hill Country has a cultural flavor all of its own. Part Spanish, part Central European, and part Native American, the area is diverse to say the least. The Hill Country is home to major metropolitan cities, quaint small towns, and every size in between. Whether you're looking for the excitement and opportunity of San Antonio or Austin, world class barbeque in Elgin or Lockhart, or a tucked-away homestead in La Grange or Smithville, the Hill Country has a place for everybody.
