Imagine kayaking from your backyard, hosting gatherings along the water, or simply relaxing to the peaceful sounds of the river. This property combines serenity with convenience - offering an easy commute to downtown while feeling worlds away. Opportunities like this -large, private, riverfront acreage so close to the heart of Austin - rarely come to market. Create something truly exceptional here. Schedule your private tour today to explore the possibilities.
Rogers Hill, located between I-35 and Onion Creek, is a residential and hillside Austin neighborhood with winding streets and creekside greenbelts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Slaughter Lane and South Congress Avenue corridor, where taquerias, coffee counters, and small storefronts set a steady, local rhythm. Nearby pillars include The Far Out Lounge & Stage for live music, Meanwhile Brewing Co. for a laid-back taproom scene, and Austin Bouldering Project for an indoor climbing hub. Homes lean toward mid-century ranches and newer infill, often set back under mature trees. Outdoor time centers on trail links and open fields around Onion Creek. The pace feels tucked away while still tied to South Austin’s everyday errands and nightlife.
