Walton Global Sells 1,736 Acres Near Austin for 6,200-Home Community
Walton Global, a real estate and land asset management company and sponsor of private placement investments, has sold 1,736 acres in Hays County, Texas, to two Austin-based investment firms for development of a master-planned community expected to deliver more than 6,200 homes in the Austin metropolitan statistical area. The transaction price was not disclosed.
“This was a significant closing for Walton Global and a strong example of continued demand for well-located land in high-growth markets,” said Rob Nixon, senior vice president of real estate at Walton Global.
Wilson Capital and Carlton Capital Investments acquired the property, known as The Ridge, located near Highway 21 south of Austin in the Austin-San Antonio corridor along Interstate 35. The buyers said they plan to develop the site as a large-scale residential community.
“We are excited to acquire The Ridge and continue investing in the Austin market,” said Taylor Wilson of Wilson Capital. “This project reflects our continued long-term commitment to delivering quality communities in high-growth areas.”
At full buildout, The Ridge is planned to include more than 6,200 residential homes, three school sites – elementary, middle, and high school – a community center, a fish camp, resort-style amenities, and commercial and retail space, along with parks, green space, and trails. According to Walton, the site is approximately 20 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and 30 minutes from downtown Austin.
Austin has seen population and employment growth across technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and education sectors. Major employers in the region include Tesla, Oracle, Samsung, Dell Technologies, and St. David’s HealthCare.
The transaction is the latest in land dispositions by Walton in Texas. In February, AltsWire reported that Walton sold 2,812 acres to Minto Communities in Ellis County for the Kemp Ranch master-planned community south of Dallas-Fort Worth. In September 2025, the company completed a 120-acre land sale in Caldwell County, Texas, as part of the larger Cotton Center master plan.
