Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Temple, Texas
14311 Kuykendall Mountain Rd, Temple, TX 76502
+/-47 acres overlooking Lake Belton, offering some of the most dramatic views and topography available in Central Texas. The seller has agreed to subdivide-opening the door to phased development, carve-out parcels, a single private estate, or a multi-generational retreat. Specific tracts and pricing are still TBD, but the seller is open to discussing possibilities now. The property sits as a large triangular tract with frontage on three roads: Kuykendall Mountain Road serves as the main entrance and provides access to the bulk of the acreage, Kuykendall Mountain Springs Road offers additional frontage, and Owen Lane runs the western edge with its own frontage. Nearly all acreage sits above the flowage easement, maximizing usable land. The land itself is exceptional-truly untouched and unlike anything else currently on the market near the lake. Rolling terrain, limestone ridgelines, and natural overlooks create multiple elevated homesites with sweeping views of Lake Belton and the surrounding countryside. Winding trails cross varied terrain throughout. Dense native flora, resident deer, and other wildlife are found throughout. Limestone caves believed to have once been used by indigenous people add historical significance-the area was the focus of University of Texas research in past decades, and the property has yielded occasional arrowheads. Located in Moffat, TX, within Temple's ETJ and zoned to Belton ISD. This corridor has grown substantially, accelerated by the addition of Lake Belton High School nearby, and the main road connects toward the growing Tanglewood development. Minutes from Temple, offering privacy and accessibility in a market where large lakeside acreage is increasingly scarce. Whether envisioned as a phased development, private ranch, or long-term investment, this property is defined by its elevation, usability, access, and views. Buyer to verify feasibility, utilities, water availability, and subdivision requirements.
