The Village of Bear Creek Oaks Austin Tx

By
Real Estate Agent with Sky Realty South Austin

Today I realized what a great community I am priviledged to live in..  The Village of Bear Creek Oaks is just outside of Austin Texas.  This area is rural in feel and community spirit.  All of the homes here are on at least 1 acre and some up to 22 acres. 

We are horse friendly, so I can look out my backdoor and see the animals grazing or playing in their pasture.  Its wonderful to have the ponies at home where we can enjoy them to the fullest. 

In Nov 1997 this community Incoporated to keep their area rural and keep control of their property.  The Village of Bear Creek Oaks has a mayor and a 9 board of directors, we belong to a Volunteer Fire Department, we are concerned about our oak trees, which are plentiful,  our property and our environment, truly people in control of their area and their homes. 

This area is safe to jog the hills except for the random wildlife which we see wandering the streets and hillsides frequently.  Including but not limited to herds of  deer, squirrels, coyotes, roadrunners, opossum, raccoons, skunks and the occasional snakes and lizards.  The horses, donkeys and goats are all behind fences.

We are just past the Hays County line off RR1826 and a few miles north of that Austin institution  THE SALT LICK BBQ. 

 This is my world, I hope your world is as serene and you are as blessed as I am to enjoy nature at its fullest.

That is a really nice area.  They are really building fast there. I am glad you guys have some land to keep homes farther apart.

HI Jeff, thanks for stopping in.. the Village of Bear Creek Oaks does have restrictions to keep homesites at least 1 acres, that helps with the encroachment of population.

Hello, Neighbor.  I also live in the Village of Bear Creek, and absolutely love it.  I'm currently serving on city council and have been responsible for amending the subdivision ordinance.  I wanted to say that although the deed restrictions require at least an acre, the city actually has subdivision authority and requires all lots to be at least 2 acres if the lot will have a well, or at least 3 acres with a well.  There are a few lots that are already at 1 acre because they subdivided before the city existed, but going forward that is the standard.

You can see for yourself, http://www.vil.bear-creek.tx.us/OrdinancesAndDocuments/SUBDIVIDE_ORDINANCE_Apr07.pdf, section 10.A.2.

Since you are a realtor that helps move properties in our neighborhood, I thought you'd like to know.

Best Wishes,

Glen Ragan
