About Caballo Ranch

Caballo Ranch is a newer master-planned community in northeastern Leander, developed on land that captures the rolling agricultural character of Williamson County before the city built up around it. The name nods to the horse ranch heritage of the area. Homes are primarily two-story single-family built by a mix of mid-range and move-up production builders, with floor plans ranging from 2,000 to 3,800 square feet. The community pool, splash pad, and playground are finished amenities that give Caballo Ranch a family-oriented identity. Portions of Caballo Ranch fall outside MUD boundaries, making certain sections more tax-efficient than comparable new Leander developments. Easy access to Toll 183A positions residents well for commutes to the Domain, downtown Austin, or Cedar Park's employment corridor. Active development continues in the community's later phases.

Lifestyle: Family-focused community in northeast Leander with newer construction at more moderate prices than Leander's premium communities. Good option for buyers wanting space and no MUD overhead.
