Land for Sale in Belton, Texas

170.60 acres of pure Central Texas beauty along with more than 2,000 feet of Leon River frontage | Minutes from Belton & Temple. This property offers a rare blend of wide-open pastureland, mature hardwoods, rolling terrain, and peaceful water views - the kind of landscape that feels untouched, private, and deeply connected to nature. The land is largely unimproved, giving buyers the freedom to shape it into a private, recreational retreat, or future homestead. Wildlife is abundant, the river corridor is stunning at sunrise and sunset, and the property carries an agricultural valuation that keeps taxes low. While much of the acreage lies within the floodplain, the property still offers multiple buildable opportunities: * Floodplain areas allow elevated construction, including barndominiums, cabins, or weekend retreats built on piers or stilts at least 2 feet above grade, creating dramatic views over the river valley. * On the eastern side, a designated Zone AE section provides a prime homesite where a residence can be built on a conventional slab, elevated 2 feet above the 470' BFE, offering both safety and convenience without sacrificing scenery. The combination - riverfront beauty, agricultural tax benefits, and genuine buildable areas - makes the property ideal for buyers seeking land that is both visually striking and functionally versatile. Whether you envision a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, a hunting or recreational ranch, or a long-term investment, this tract delivers the space, the water, and the flexibility to bring that vision to life. Located 8 minutes from Belton, 13 minutes from Temple, 43 minutes from Round Rock, and 2 hours from Dallas, this property is conveniently positioned.
