Spring Creek Preserve Market Snapshot
Spring Creek Preserve is a small, early-stage community, so the numbers move in single digits. In the past 12 months, no homes or lots have closed in the MLS, which is too few sales for a meaningful median. That is why the snapshot shows the actual range of what is for sale today rather than a single median price.
Asking prices for the three active lots work out to roughly $470,000 to $550,000 per acre. The two lots that have closed since 2023 sold for $965,000 (about 2 acres) in July 2023 and $1,550,000 (about 2.5 acres) in August 2024, or about $479,000 and $622,000 per acre.
Active listing figures are from Unlock MLS on October 11, 2026. Closed-sale figures are from the Austin Board of REALTORS MLS (Unlock MLS), pulled the same day, for land in the Spring Creek Preserve subdivision over the past five years. Sales that close outside the MLS are not included.
About Spring Creek Preserve
Spring Creek Preserve is a 17-lot gated community on Spring Preserve Trail, about a half mile down Hamilton Pool Road from Highway 71. Travis County records show 20 parcels totaling about 54 acres, with lots from about 1.5 to 4.5 acres. The community sits along Little Barton Creek, with views toward a roughly 900-acre nature preserve. The entrance is a gated roundabout with stone walls and an iron gate.
For you as a buyer, the important part is that Spring Creek Preserve is a bring-your-own-builder community, with deed restrictions covering building size and style. Most lots are still open, so you can choose the site, tree cover and view you want, but expect construction activity around you for years. MLS details list public water and sewer, electricity, natural gas and underground utilities. The HOA dues are $300 per month, and the 2025 property tax rate is 1.6440%.
What Spring Creek Preserve Lots and Homes Look Like
All three active Spring Creek Preserve listings are lots. They range from about 2.2 to 3.8 acres, with asking prices from $1,199,999 to $1,774,000. Price tends to follow size, tree cover, slope and views: level wooded lots with mature live oaks, and hilltop lots with Hill Country views.
New construction is just beginning. Photos from the community show homes under construction on hilltop lots and finished homes with white stucco exteriors and dark tile roofs. No homes have closed in the MLS under the Spring Creek Preserve name yet, so there are no sold-home comparisons to share.
Because each home is custom, there is no typical floor plan. Ask the HOA whether there is an approved builder list. The MLS notes building size, building style, covenant and deed restrictions, so ask the HOA for the builder requirements and design guidelines before you make an offer.
Everyday Life in Spring Creek Preserve
Life in Spring Creek Preserve is quiet and private. The gate keeps through traffic out, acre-plus lots put real distance between neighbors, and the community sits along Little Barton Creek. The tradeoff is that most lots are still open, so expect building activity on the street for years.
Daily errands are close. Summer Moon Coffee, restaurants and fitness studios sit along Highway 71 about 5 minutes away (2.3 miles), and the shops and restaurants at the Hill Country Galleria are about 7 minutes away (2.9 miles). For the full list of nearby coffee shops, restaurants and fitness options, see the neighborhood guide.
For workouts, Pvolve and Persona Pilates are on Highway 71, and BODY20 and HCI Sports & Fitness are in Bee Cave. For a night out, The League Kitchen & Tavern, PLATE By Dzintra and Cafe Blue are at the Galleria.
Spring Creek Preserve Schools
Homes in Spring Creek Preserve are zoned to Lake Travis ISD, and students will likely attend Bee Cave Elementary, Bee Cave Middle School and Lake Travis High School. Always confirm the assignment for a specific lot with the district. For ratings and more, see our Lake Travis ISD homes and schools guide.
Market Perspective Since Launch
Spring Creek Preserve has only a few years of MLS history. In the past five years, the MLS shows two lot sales: about 2 acres for $965,000 in July 2023 after 28 days on market, and about 2.5 acres for $1,550,000 in August 2024 after 291 days on market.
No homes have closed under the community name. Of the three active lots, two have been on the market about 201 days and one about 555 days.
The takeaway for you: compare a lot on its own details, including size, tree cover, slope and where it sits relative to the entry, rather than looking for one market price. We can pull the history on any lot you are considering.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy in Spring Creek Preserve?
Here is what the MLS activity says about this small community:
Active lots on October 11, 2026, listed for about 201 to 555 days.
Lot closings since 2023, after 28 and 291 days on market.
Closed sales in the past 12 months, so there is no recent median to quote.
There is no need to rush. With only three lots listed and a small number of sales, you have time to walk each lot, review the HOA documents and deed restrictions, and get builder estimates before you make an offer. We can set up that process for you.
How to Buy a Lot in Spring Creek Preserve
Buying in Spring Creek Preserve usually means buying a lot first and building after. Here is the path most buyers follow:
- Get your financing plan in place. Lot loans and construction loans work differently from a standard mortgage, so talk with a lender early. Our Austin home buyer guide walks through the basics.
- Walk the lots. Compare slope, trees, views and orientation, and ask for any survey or topographic information the seller has.
- Review the HOA documents. Ask for the deed restrictions and design guidelines before you make an offer, and confirm the current dues of $300 per month.
- Talk with builders. Get estimates from one or more builders so you know the full cost before you close on the lot.
- Make an offer with the right due diligence. Build in time to confirm utilities, design guidelines and school zoning for the specific lot.
