Truly a unicorn, incredible secluded lifestyle residence / vacation home on 8+ very lightly restricted mountaintop acres with expansive views and just 20 minutes from downtown Austin. Classic stone & timber Hill Country ranch style home exudes a warmth, honesty and classic elegance that is authentic and increasingly rare. Extraordinary sunset views from the negative edge pool/ hot tub. The luxurious pool deck features a classic stone fireplace, outdoor bbq area and smoker, waterfall, more - ideal for large gatherings and entertaining or just quiet relaxation. The heart of the main residence is the expansive living room featuring soaring tongue & groove vaulted ceilings, timber trusses and a massive stone fireplace, all exuding true hill country charm. Indoor/ outdoor living spaces that are second to none. Generous master suite itself includes multiple rooms - a library/ sitting area with custom wall to wall bookshelves, through the french doors into the very generous master bedroom, past the double walk-in closets to the exquisite master bathroom. Enjoy the soaking tub while deer and other wildlife walk right past the picture window. Main home is 4 br + office, plus garage apartment with its own spectacular northern views over the detached two car garage/ workshop. Primary or vacation home, short or long term rental, or any combination thereof. Coveted Lake Travis ISD. Shopping + dining just minutes away at the Galleria, but once you enter the gate, wind through the trees, past the wildflowers to the circle drive, it feels like a private mountain oasis. Austin address but low Travis Co/ Bee Caves taxes. Includes both Lots 10 & 11 in The Homestead, one of the best kept secrets in Travis Co, small rural equestrian subdivision with huge wooded lots, luxury homes, voluntary HOA and the kind of freedom & privacy that is almost impossible to find this close in. It’s a special and unique property with a mix of attributes and assets that is nearly impossible to match.
