Location, acreage, excellent schools! Just 1.5 miles off Highway 290 on the East side of Dripping Springs, this unique 10-acre property provides easy access to everything the Texas Hill Country and Austin have to offer. The acreage also offers future flexibility, with the potential to be subdivided into two 5-acre tracts, subject to buyer verification. This Dripping Springs retreat has 2 homes, a wildlife exemption for lower taxes, and a Mueller metal barn, all situated just 20 miles from downtown Austin. A dream for equestrian and livestock enthusiasts, the barn offers potential for 6 horse stalls, with separate tack and feed rooms. Multiple location options for a riding arena. Meticulously cleared land with both mature and young Live Oak trees throughout the property provides a serene backdrop to 2 beautifully crafted homes in a distinctive German-influenced Texas Hill Country style. Expansive porches, metal roofs, and walls of windows with French doors seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. Inside, warm wood and natural stone offer rustic elegance. The 3,445 sqft main home features an inviting open layout with soaring beam ceilings and a sunlit family room framed by expansive windows overlooking the grounds. The gourmet farmhouse kitchen, equipped with Jenn-Air appliances and a large pantry, is ideal. A substantial office with oversized windows offers a peaceful workspace and could be converted to a 4th bedroom, with space to add a full bath if desired. The primary suite on the main level features French doors that open to the front porch. Upstairs, a game room and two additional bedrooms provide space for guests.
