Welcome to this stunning 3.4-acre estate in Austin's prestigious Eanes ISD, one of the best school districts in the country. This Texas Hill Country oasis, just minutes away from Downtown Austin, blends natural beauty and modern luxury, making it the perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and convenience. Backing up to Barton Creek, the Fredericksburg farmhouse style dwelling with natural adaptive native landscaping, offers incredible views of an 80-acre private estate that will never be developed, ensuring lasting privacy. Enjoy outdoor living on the terrace overlooking the canyon or take the stone stairway down to 600 feet of Barton Creek frontage, featuring a lovely swimming hole with spring-fed waters. The metal-roofed open pavilion with lighting and electric outlets is the perfect party or picnic spot near the creek. The open kitchen is a chef's dream with Texas granite counters, a black granite farmhouse sink, and custom cabinetry and unique tile work by Austin ceramicist Claudia Reese. The living room features custom mesquite mantels, an integrated sound system, and sustainable poplar flooring. The lower deck, overlooking the creek, includes a fan, lights, speakers, and an outdoor shower. The main bedroom offers stunning creek views from the upper deck and features marble tile flooring, an oversized shower/tub with waterfall faucet, and a washlet/bidet toilet. Additional bedrooms include large closets and custom-crafted bunk beds. The hall bath features Italian tile, a custom vanity, and Spanish tile floors. The property includes a spacious garage with room for 8 cars, an air compressor with multiple connections, two guest apartments, and an invisible dog fence. The comprehensive irrigation system pumped from the creek adds to the home's appeal. With a tax rate of just 1.39%, one of the lowest in the city, this estate is not only luxurious but also economical, an opportunity to own a vanishingly rare Austin sanctuary.
