- We study Chabauty limits of the fixed-point group of $k$-points $H_k$ associated with an involutive $k$-automorphism $θ$ of a connected linear reductive group $G$ defined over a non-Archimedean local field $k$ of characteristic zero. Leveraging the geometry of the Bruhat--Tits building, the structure of $(θ,k)$-split tori, and the $K\mathcal{B}_kH_k$ decomposition of $G_k$, we establish that any nontrivial Chabauty limit $L$ of $H_k$ is $G_k$-conjugate to a subgroup of $$U_{σ_+}(k) \rtimes (Ker(α)^0 \cdot (H_k \cap M_{σ_{\pm}})) \leq P_{σ_+}(k),$$ where $α$ is a projection map arising from a Levi factor $M_{σ_{\pm}}$ of a parabolic subgroup $P_{σ_+} \subset G$, and $Ker(α)^0$ denotes the subgroup of elliptic elements in the kernel of $α$. Our analysis distinguishes between elliptic and hyperbolic elements and constructs explicit unipotent elements in the limit group $L$ using the Moufang property of $G_k$. Furthermore, we show that $L$ acts transitively on the set of ideal simplices opposite to $σ_+$. These results yield a detailed description of the Chabauty compactification of $H_k$, and provide new insights into its interaction with the non-Archimedean geometry of $G_k$.
