Extraordinary lot in Manchaca on Onion Creek ~ Simply magical with beautiful waterfront views and an incredibly low tax rate ~ Located just minutes from South Park Meadows in the unincorporated village of Manchaca ~ The property has multiple elevations, the highest point is above the Onion Creek 100 year floodplain ~ Building a bit higher on piers over the slope would allow the level ground to be reserved for a yard ~ The site has two large clusters of live oaks, including a massive 100 year old giant ~ If you trace Onion Creek on a map, you'll find that it begins far away in the hill country near Blanco ~ Along the way, it's fed by small springs that keep the creek continuously flowing, helping maintain visibility even when it's several feet low as it's been during this summer drought ~ The historically significant Manchaca spring feeds the tiny Garlic Creek not far down on the other shore ~ To the right of this lot is a dam built by the Army Core of Engineers that creates a year-round navigable waterway extending roughly a mile downstream, accessible by kayak or canoe ~ This stretch of the creek has no public access limiting it to the hand full of houses built along it and local ranchers ~ The stream is lined by mature bald cypress that are large enough to nearly touch from either side in some places ~ Deer are a common sight in the neighborhood ~ Just on the other side of the lot is a great egrets nest ~ You'll also see great blue herons, kingfishers, swifts, and hawks of every local variety ~ Frogs gather along the shore and perform symphonies in the evenings when the season is right ~ This stretch of water is packed with black bass with little to no pressure on them, and if fishing is your thing, this might be one of the best-kept secrets around town!
