A refined Hill Country sanctuary where custom craftsmanship, sustainability, and natural beauty meet—set on 12.5 acres in a quiet, gated, horse-friendly community just 10 minutes from Dripping Springs. This well-maintained stone-and-stucco home with inlaid timber mortar accents has over $300K in recent updates and was thoughtfully designed for lasting quality and comfort.

Inside, a grand foyer, beamed ceilings, hand-milled cypress woodwork, and pecan cabinetry showcase artisan-level detail. The chef’s kitchen features GE Café appliances, quartzite countertops with a full-height backsplash, and flows seamlessly into a warm, inviting living room anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace. The primary suite includes a copper pedestal soaking tub and custom cabinetry, blending luxury with timeless style.

A detached, climate-controlled garage/workshop includes 690+ sqft of finished attic flex space, perfect for studio, gym, or office use. Both structures were strategically positioned for optimal views, breezes, and shade.
