Modern living, wide-open space, and Hill Country soul—10 minutes from everything

Tucked on the southwest edge of Austin sits a rare 2.6-acre retreat that blends privacy, nature, and modern comfort without sacrificing convenience. If you've been craving breathing room, a place to recharge, or space to create something uniquely yours, this property delivers all of it—beautifully.

This is the kind of setting people move to Austin for.

A Landscape That Feels Like Its Own World

The moment you step past the gate, you feel it—a sense of calm, quiet, and possibility.

Over the years, the land has been thoughtfully shaped into a rich, layered environment filled with gardens, trails, shady pockets, sunny clearings, and natural beauty everywhere you look. It’s intentional without being fussy. It’s peaceful without feeling remote. It’s a place where mornings start with birdsong and evenings end under watercolor skies.

And—yes—it can absolutely accommodate animals. Whether you imagine donkeys, goats, chickens, a dream garden, or simply more space for your dogs or kids to run, the property is ready. There’s also room to add a casita, studio, or workshop, making it an ideal canvas for someone with dreams.

A Warm, Modern Home Built to Honor the Land

The home itself was designed by architect Stuart Sampley and built by Nalle Custom Homes, with a warm modern farmhouse aesthetic that frames the surrounding landscape. Every window feels intentional, every room connects to nature, and the flow of the home invites both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. This is a home that exudes comfort, function, and style without ever trying too hard.

Resort-Style Outdoor Living

The outdoor living spaces make this property feel like a private resort. Highlights include:

A sparkling pool perfectly placed for sun and shade
A fabulous hot tub for star-gazing nights and chilly-season relaxation
Custom grill station
A barn with multiple possibilities—animals, equipment, storage, hobbies
A greenhouse + raised beds + irrigation system
Chicken coops
Wide-open acreage that offers both privacy and inspiration

Whether you're entertaining, unwinding, gardening, or dreaming bigger, the setting elevates everything.

Location: Close to Austin, Miles From Stress

You get the best of both worlds here—serenity with proximity.

10 minutes to HEB & Whole Foods
10 minutes to Alamo Drafthouse
Schools that are consistently well-regarded in the Austin area
Easy into-town commutes without the feeling of being “in town”
Restaurants, retail, and parks all within minutes

It’s an incredibly rare combination: acreage, privacy, and convenience.

A Property for Anyone Who Wants More Out of Life

This opportunity will appeal to:

City-dwellers craving space & privacy without giving up urban perks ... no required HOA
California transplants (or anyone relocating) who want land, beauty, and authenticity
Nature lovers & creatives who need room to breathe or room to create
Buyers who dream of adding a casita, workshop, or additional dwelling
Families who value top-tier Austin schools and room to roam
Animal people who want a ready-to-go property with land that works
Anyone who wants to feel like they’re living in nature while staying connected to Austin

This isn’t a typical suburban home on the outskirts.It’s a lifestyle—one that rarely becomes available this close to the city.

A Recognized & Loved Property

The land and home have been featured on:

PBS’s Central Texas Gardener
Cooped Up on Tubi (national series)
Inside Austin Garden Tour (2024)
Multiple articles by Austin garden writer Pam Penick

It’s a place people notice—and remember.
