About this home

Set on a majestic 1.5-acre corner estate lot in Sierra West, where the homes sit far enough apart that your neighbors rarely enter the frame, this exceptional and unique custom single-story is built around the way Driftwood, Texas is actually lived: outside, under the oaks - 97 of them, by the owners' count. Hand-selected river rock wraps the exterior, the outdoor kitchen and the great-room fireplace, chosen to evoke a mountain ski lodge - an Aspen sensibility set in the Texas Hill Country. The extended covered patio holds a full outdoor kitchen - built-in grill, sink, refrigerator, stainless cabinets, granite counters - and opens to a spacious deck beneath a live oak canopy, made for long dinners and dark Hill Country skies. Rare detached 576 SF garage/workshop, finished to match the home exterior with decked attic storage, two oversize 9-foot doors and 50-amp RV hookup, brings the total to six garage spaces on a long concrete drive that branches to both. The detached worksop allows you to drive an RV straight through it. Inside, 3,042 SF lives larger than its number: a 22'x28' kitchen on a curved window wall with 42-inch maple cabinetry, center island with prep sink and curved granite bar; the lodge great room with an oversized gas-log fireplace in that same river rock; a dedicated office; and a 225 SF sunroom with Andersen windows that is NOT reflected in the square footage. Private primary wing with soaking tub, walk-in shower room, dual his and hers sized vanities and a spacious built-in closet. Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, no interior steps. The attached floorplan is a must see for serious parties. ENERGY STAR certified (HERS 59), fiberglass-framed double-pane windows, insulated interior walls keep utilities highly efficient from a cost perspective. The property has two 200-amp services, Cat 6 in conduit, Kinetico softener and filtration and an attached garage with egress. Aqua Texas water; aerobic septic under contract through 2028. Wimberley ISD and a very low 1.55 tax rate which is very important and truly impactful for taxes on estates like those this in this range. Driftwood is the Hill Country's wine-and-barbecue crossroads: Salt Lick BBQ, Driftwood Estate Winery, Duchman Family Winery and Hays City Store are minutes away; Dripping Springs, Belterra Village, Wimberley's Blue Hole and Hamilton Pool are close; downtown Austin is approximately 30 miles from this area making a Major Texas tech hum very convenient even while this property allows for the work from home lifestyle, including high internet speeds. The Canyon Lake area is also only approximately 20 miles away for outdoor lake enthusiasts. Lake Travis and Lake Austin also very close within approximately a 30 mile distance for water activities and or RV excursions. Ask your Realtor for any granular details we have attached to this true hill country gem.
