Three contiguous creek-front lots in the Village of San Leanna, offered together as roughly 1.20 acres with about 399 feet of road frontage across the assemblage. All three back directly to Slaughter Creek. Getting three adjoining creek lots from a single seller is rare, and the combined tract opens options a single lot cannot: a larger custom estate, a phased build, or a small builder project. San Leanna is one of the small incorporated communities in far South Austin, keeping its own village identity separate from the City of Austin. Wide lots, mature trees, natural privacy, and bluff topography give the assemblage genuine character. Downtown Austin is roughly 20 minutes north, Austin-Bergstrom is about 20 to 25 minutes out, and the Menchaca corridor with HEB, restaurants, and everyday errands is just a few minutes away. Mopac access runs north via FM 1626. The buildable area sits toward the road frontage on each tract, set back from the creek. Travis County platting exception letters are on file, so the lots can be sold and built without re-platting. All three are in FEMA flood zone AE, which means an elevated foundation and flood insurance, standard for creek-front land. San Leanna Park CCRs run through 2030 and require Architectural Committee approval, a 1,200 sf minimum dwelling, 80 percent masonry, a 50 ft height limit, and single-family use only. OSSF (septic) required, no city sewer. Buyer to verify utilities, impervious cover limits, and building requirements. Lots also available individually at 722, 726, and 730 River Oaks.

3022010 MLS ⋅ 78748 Zip Code

The largest of three contiguous creek-front lots in the Village of San Leanna, a 0.50 acre tract backing directly to Slaughter Creek. San Leanna is one of the small incorporated communities in far South Austin, with wide lots, mature trees, and a pace that sets it apart from the subdivisions nearby. This homesite has natural privacy, established tree cover, and bluff topography that give it real character. The village keeps its own identity, separate from the City of Austin, so you get a quiet, established setting while staying close to everyday life. Downtown Austin is roughly 20 minutes north, Austin-Bergstrom is about 20 to 25 minutes out, and the Menchaca corridor with HEB, restaurants, and daily errands is just a few minutes away. Mopac access runs north via FM 1626. The buildable area sits toward the road frontage, set back from the creek. The FEMA flood zone AE designation affects only the creek-side portion of the lot, not the buildable area toward the road. Buyer to verify the exact zone line. Travis County platting exception letters are on file, so the tract can be sold and built without re-platting. San Leanna Park CCRs run through 2030 and require Architectural Committee approval, a 1,200 sf minimum dwelling, 80 percent masonry, a 50 ft height limit, and single-family use only. OSSF (septic) required, no city sewer. Buyer to verify utilities, impervious cover limits, and building requirements. Adjacent lots at 722 and 726 River Oaks are also available, individually or as a package. Rare to get three adjoining creek lots from a single seller.
