Living in Prairie Lea

Prairie Lea is a tiny Caldwell County community along the San Marcos River, about 50 miles south of Austin. With a population under 300, it is one of the smallest and quietest communities in the region, offering pastoral farmland and river frontage at very affordable prices.

The community has a small school, a general store vibe, and not much else — which is exactly the appeal for buyers seeking solitude and acreage. The San Marcos River provides beautiful frontage for the lucky few properties that border it.
