About this property

From the moment you arrive, 425 feet of crystal-clear Barton Creek sets the tone: beautiful pecan trees arch overhead, native grasses sway along the banks, and the sounds of wildlife replace the noise of the city. Tucked into the heart of the Fitzhugh Corridor, this extraordinary 12.68-acre retreat offers a lifestyle that is increasingly rare — seclusion, natural beauty, and effortless access to Austin, Bee Cave, and Dripping Springs. The beautifully remodeled stone home (3 beds, 3.5 baths, 2 living, 1 dining) — completed in 2017 and crowned with a classic metal roof — blends timeless Texas character with modern comfort. Heatilator fireplace bring a rare vintage charm you simply cannot replicate, and the kitchen windows frame sweeping views of Barton Creek. It is the kind of home where every room feels connected to the land. Built in 2016, the separate guesthouse is a proven income producer (1 bed, 1 bath, 1 living & full kitchen) — already active on VRBO and Airbnb — offering flexibility for hosting family, generating rental revenue, home office or all of the above. A limestone fire pit, a maturing peach tree (with two young companions), and glimpses of foxes, wild turkeys, and songbirds complete the picture of this truly special property. The acreage has room to add horses, a barn, and a private arena — everything you need to build a personal equestrian setup minutes from Austin. A wildlife exemption keeps taxes remarkably low, and the land's natural topography and mature canopy ensure complete privacy year-round. The creek keeps the land alive. Beautiful additional build location on the highest elevation of the property giving way to amazing Hill Country views. Whether you are seeking a full-time sanctuary, a weekend escape, or an investment opportunity with character, this property delivers on every count. **Square footage to be verified by buyer.**
