1. What is Round Mountain Reserve?
Round Mountain Reserve is a private, luxury land development located between Marble Falls and Johnson City in the Texas Hill Country. Designed for those who value privacy, nature, and legacy but desire proximity to modern luxuries, shopping, and dining. We offer 5–25-acre ranch homesites surrounded by ancient oaks, native wildlife, and panoramic Hill Country views. Every property is fully infrastructure-ready with underground utilities, high-speed fiber, community propane, an agricultural tax exemption on undeveloped acreage, and carefully preserved land features.
2. Where is Round Mountain Reserve located?
Round Mountain Reserve sits just two miles off Highway 281, just 10-15 minutes from Marble Falls, Johnson City, and the surrounding Hill Country wineries, golf courses, and restaurants. The community is about an hour from Austin and just over an hour from San Antonio—close enough for convenience, but far enough for peace, privacy, and pristine skies. Our location on RR 962 Just two miles north of 281 eliminates noise pollution and our commitment to being a dark sky compliance community ensures the same for a star filled night.
3. What makes Round Mountain Reserve different from other Hill Country developments?
Round Mountain Reserve stands apart through its intentional design: tastefully cleared homesites with 200 foot buffer zones between lots preserving your natural privacy, a fully developed community with neighbors already in place, and a strong commitment to long-term value protection. The development honors the legacy of a 150+ year Texas ranch and blends modern luxury with timeless Hill Country heritage. We also allow a second "Casita" or "Guest House" honoring the upward trend for generational housing as well as an additional out building or shop.
4. Is the availability of water a concern at Round Mountain Reserve?
As a part of our commitment to protecting the land, we completed an 18 well water availability study with the Blanco County Water Conservation district. As a low density development we exceeded all expectations set out by the Conservation District and continue to be confirmed by those findings. We are proud to be uniquely positioined above both the Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) aquifer and the Trinity aquifer which is between 35,000-42,000 square miles, is one of the largest aquifers in the state of Texas both in geographic size and hydrogeologic importance. Both providing confidence and water for years to come.
5. What size lots are available at Round Mountain Reserve?
Homesites range from 5 to 25 acres, offering options for everything from family estates to multi-generational compounds. Each lot is uniquely shaped to maximize natural topography, oak coverage, and view corridors—creating one-of-a-kind properties that feel private, expansive, and part of the land itself.

11. How far out is too far out?
That is a great question that should be on the front of everyone's mind who loves privacy but doesn't want isolation. Price-point, convenience, and honestly... congestion should inform this discussion. We are the perfect distance from urban sprawl - 5 miles from two intersecting major highways - on a county road that bisects them both. With Austin just an hour-drive and San Antonio a little bit further, we sit in the Texas Hill Country sweet spot without the traffic that accompany the 71 and 290 corridors. At Round Mountain Reserve you'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, with neighbors you'll love, yet with the amenities you need within just a few minutes.
