Anywhere in particular in the hill country? I grew up there, between San Marcos / Hunter / Wimberly. Land prices in Travis, Hays, Comal, Guadalupe, Blanco, and Bexar County are probably way too much because of proximity to Austin, San Antonio or what will be the metroplex between the two. That land is becoming housing - either tract or acreage depending on the scenery.
You'd need to look farther out, or go west or south (Pleasanton or beyond). Deep hill country I can't see being used for much beyond cattle or goats, but you may be able to grow crops outside of that area. It's too arid and for the most part there's not enough soil, although there is some arable land in the Bandera / Pipe Creek area.
edit: you probably already know it, but deer, dove and hog hunting is serious business in the hill country. Hogs can be hunted year round.
