Where to Find Acreage Homes in Georgetown TX

If you want room to spread out, I think Georgetown's a great place to look. Most of the acreage sits north and west of town, and the farther out you drive, the bigger the tracts get.

Honestly, it's one of my favorite conversations to have. I love being outside, especially anywhere near the water, so I'm right there with you.

Here's where I'd look, what it's listing for right now, and what I'd check before you fall in love with a view.

How much land do you actually want?

That's the first thing I'd ask you. "Acreage" doesn't mean the same thing to everybody.

Do you want an acre or two with big trees and a little privacy? Do you want five acres and a shop? Do you need room for horses, a boat or an RV?

Do you want a guest house or a casita for family who visits? How much do you care about the drive into town?

Those answers decide where I'd have us look. They'll narrow it down faster than a price range does.

What is acreage listing for in Georgetown right now?

As of October 2026, there were 171 homes listed in Georgetown on an acre or more. The median asking price was about $854,900, on a median lot of about 1.3 acres.

Most of those, 132 of them, sat on one to five acres, at a median of about $800,000. Only 39 had five acres or more, and their median was about $1.4 million.

Ten acres or more gets rare, and I'd want you to know that going in. As of October 2026, there were 23 of those, at a median of about $2.2 million.

There's still a range, and that's what I like about it. As of October 2026, 55 of those acreage homes were under $750,000, and 59 were at $1 million or more.

My advice is to decide early whether you're shopping for the house or for the land. I'd ask myself that first, too.

On one or two acres, you're mostly paying for the house. On ten, you're paying for the dirt.

Where is the acreage in Georgetown?

North and northwest of town. That's where I'd start you.

As of October 2026, 87 of the 171 acreage homes in Georgetown were in the 78633 zip. That's the north and northwest side, out past Sun City toward Lake Georgetown and Andice.

The 78628 zip on the west side had 45. The 78626 zip, which takes in downtown and the east side, had 39.

There's a reason it lands that way, and I think it's one of the coolest things about this area. The Balcones Escarpment runs north to south through the middle of Williamson County.

West of it, you get the start of the Hill Country, with rolling ground, limestone, live oaks and cedar. East of it is the Blackland Prairie, with that dark clay soil that's been farmed for generations.

Roughly three out of four of Georgetown's acreage listings sat on the west side of I-35. If you picture trees, a creek and a hill to put the house on, that's the side I'd send you to.

Do you want to be near Lake Georgetown?

Then I'd look northwest, out Williams Drive toward Andice. It's one of my favorite drives.

Lake Georgetown sits about three and a half miles west of town on the North San Gabriel River. It's an Army Corps of Engineers lake of about 1,300 acres.

The Goodwater Loop trail runs all the way around it. If you love the water like I do, it's hard to beat.

Andice is a small rural community where FM 2338 meets FM 970, in the northwest corner of the county. The land opens up a lot once you've passed the lake.

I'd drive that stretch on a weekday morning and again on a Saturday. Williams Drive is the main way back into town, so you'll want to know what that drive feels like.

Do you want more land for your money?

Then we'll keep driving. The tracts get bigger the farther out you go.

Florence sits about 13 miles north of Georgetown, on SH 195. As of October 2026, the acreage homes listed there had a median lot of about 10.8 acres, at a median asking price of about $1.1 million.

Jarrell is up I-35 near the Bell County line. As of October 2026, its 38 acreage homes had a median lot of about 12.4 acres.

Then there's Bertram, out SH 29 in Burnet County, west of Liberty Hill. As of October 2026, it had 140 homes on an acre or more.

Their median lot was about 14.9 acres, at a median asking price of about $698,500.

That's a lot more land for the money. It's also a longer drive, so I'd ask you how often you'll be heading into Georgetown or Austin, and how much you mind the traffic.

To the east, Weir and Walburg sit out on the prairie northeast of town. It's flatter, open farm country, and there isn't as much of it on the market at any one time.

I'd still look, because it's beautiful out there.

What about Liberty Hill and Leander?

I'd put Liberty Hill on your list too. It's the other big acreage market near Georgetown. It sits about 15 miles west on SH 29, between the North and South Forks of the San Gabriel.

Here's how the nearby areas compared in October 2026.

Active MLS listings on one acre or more, by mailing city, as of October 2026. Sources are listed at the end.

Every area has its own personality. To me, Liberty Hill feels more Hill Country. Florence and Jarrell feel more like ranch country. None of them is better. It depends on you.

If you'd like the bigger picture first, my guide to where to live in Georgetown covers every part of town, not just the land.

Is it inside the city, in the ETJ, or out in the county?

I think this one matters more with acreage than anywhere else.

Inside Georgetown's city limits, you're under city zoning and you'll pay city taxes. Out in the county, you won't.

In between is the ETJ, the extraterritorial jurisdiction. It's a band of land just outside the city limits.

You don't pay city taxes there, but you still follow certain city ordinances, and the city can provide services like water and electricity.

Since September 1, 2023, Texas law has let landowners petition to be released from a city's ETJ. By September 2024, about 1,600 acres had left Georgetown's ETJ that way.

The city's got an online map that'll show you which side of the line an address is on. I'd check it before you make an offer, because it changes who you're asking when you want to build.

What should you check before you buy acreage?

Especially with acreage, we need to look into things like wells, septic, easements, and whether you can actually build that shop you've been dreaming about.

The well. In March 2023 a residents' group petitioned to annex the western half of Williamson County into the Clearwater Underground Water Conservation District, based in Bell County, and then withdrew the petition. Whether a given property sits inside a groundwater conservation district today is worth confirming for that address, because it decides who regulates the well.

I'd have the well tested for water quality and output. I'd also ask the seller for any records they've got.

The septic. In unincorporated Williamson County, septic permits go through the county. Some cities run their own permitting, so confirm which authority covers the address before you count on anything.

State rules (30 TAC 285.4) set the lot minimums for new subdivisions of single-family homes: one acre where there is no public water supply and each lot has its own septic, and half an acre where there is public water with individual septic. Lots platted before 1988 are generally grandfathered, so an older small tract is not automatically disqualified.

I'd ask for the permit and the last inspection, and I'd have it inspected again. It's not a step I'd skip.

Easements. Pipelines, power lines, shared driveways and access easements can all cross a piece of land. I'd read the survey and the title commitment closely, because they tell you where you can't build.

The shop, the casita and the RV. Deed restrictions can limit outbuildings, guest houses, livestock and where you park a boat or an RV. I'd get the restrictions early and read them before you're under contract.

Zillow can show you the house, but it can't tell you if it fits your everyday life. That's the part I'd want to help you with.

Does the land come with an agricultural valuation?

Sometimes. It doesn't come automatically with the land, though.

The Williamson Central Appraisal District looks for agricultural use in five of the last seven years, at an intensity typical for the area. There's no fixed minimum acreage.

If you change the use, rollback taxes can apply. For changes since June 15, 2021, that's the tax difference for the prior three years, without interest.

If a property's got the valuation now, I'd ask how it qualifies and whether you'll keep doing what qualifies it.

I'd talk to the appraisal district or a tax professional before you count on it. I don't guess on that one.

Is now a good time to buy acreage?

If you're ready to buy, then yes, it's a great time to buy.

As of September 2026, I'm seeing more price reductions, seller concessions and even interest rate buydowns. Sellers have a lot of competition out there, so they're willing to negotiate a lot more than in past years.

The listings back that up. As of October 2026, 42 of Georgetown's 171 acreage homes had already taken a price cut. That's about 25%.

The first step is always talking with a lender and getting pre-approved. It helps you understand your budget, and it lets us shop with a price and with confidence.

What I want for you

I live here and raise my family here, and I've been doing this since 2013. Buying land is one of the biggest purchases you'll ever make.

I'll bring the local perspective, ask the questions you might not think to ask, and give you my honest take. I answer my phone, and I stay involved the whole way through.

Tell me how much room you want and what you'd do with it. I'd love to help you find a place out here that feels like home.

Verification notes

Every listing figure here comes from active MLS listings pulled in October 2026. They're asking prices, not closed sales, and some listings were already pending.

"Acreage homes" means listings typed as single-family, farm or ranch, or manufactured homes on a lot of one acre or more. Vacant land is not included.

Cities are by mailing address. A Georgetown address can sit inside the city, in the ETJ, or out in the county, so these aren't city-limit counts.

The east and west of I-35 split is approximate, based on each listing's map coordinates.

I'd treat the rules on groundwater districts, septic permits, ETJ release and agricultural valuation as things that can change. I'd confirm each one with the county, the city or the appraisal district for the specific property.

My market read is from September 2026, and it'll change.
