The best of both worlds: peace and privacy of a luxury Hill Country estate w/ effortless access to Austin! Nestled in the heart of Dripping Springs, the “gateway to Hill Country,” this refined gentleman’s ranch spans 46 unrestricted acres & is designed for both luxury living & land enjoyment, incl turnkey equestrian amenities. The land unfolds w/ sweeping wildflower meadows, varied elevations, extensive walking & riding trails, & exceptional water features incl 1,100ft of Little Barton Creek frontage plus 3 additional creeks. Whether for recreation, equestrian use, or enjoying the views, the setting is truly special. At the center of the estate sits the architecturally striking main residence by Vanguard Studio, built by Emerald Crest Development in 2015. Offering 3,800SF, the home feat 2 beds, 3.5 baths, an office w/ built-ins, & 2 expansive living areas ideal for entertaining. A separate guest house offers 1,200SF w/ bedroom, bath, open kitchen & living area, & laundry. The outdoor living area is equally stunning, featuring a resort-style pool & spa, a fire pit, & a wood-fired pizza oven, perfect for Hill Country evenings. Inside, a climate-controlled wine cellar w/ custom built-ins creates an ideal space for tastings & game nights. Designed for function as much as lifestyle, the main residence incl a pet washroom w/ direct access to an enclosed dog run, 2 new tankless water heaters, buried electricity, a 3-bay equipment shed, & a Generac generator w/ fewer than 100 hours. The property is self-sustaining with a private well, an 11,250 gallon water reserve, & a newly installed 40,000-gallon rainwater collection system. Equestrians will appreciate the thoughtfully designed horse facilities: a 4-stall barn w/ 12x12 Priefert stalls, wash stall, office, 1/2 bath, 100x150 arena, & 6 cross-fenced pastures. For the non-equestrians, the barn offers conversion potential into a party barn or, for the car enthusiast, a car storage garage. Located in Dripping Springs ISD.
