Designed by renowned architect Tim Brown, this exceptional residence blends timeless elegance with purposeful design. Every square foot has been masterfully used to create a home that lives both luxuriously and efficiently - where designer finishes, custom cabinetry, French-country wood floors, and Thermador appliances elevate everyday living. Nestled on 6.82 private acres, the home sits atop a scenic ridge with tranquil views of the neighboring pond and the rolling Texas Hill Country landscape. Morning coffee tastes better here, sunsets linger longer, and the stars feel close enough to touch. Life in The Preserve at Walnut Springs is equally extraordinary. Once President LBJ's private hunting ranch, this exclusive community features only 66 estate homesites - each with its own dedicated and protected green space for unmatched privacy. Residents enjoy 1500 acres of dedicated green space along with horse stables, a riding arena, 22 miles of scenic trails, two resort style swimming pools, clubhouse, tennis courts, and even a dedicated seasonal hunting area - all surrounded by sweeping, natural beauty. Best of all, homeowners enjoy a wildlife exemption along with longhorn cattle roaming the ranch for a true Texas experience - where recreation and conservation are balanced. This is more than a home. This is a lifestyle: quiet, elevated, and deeply connected to the land.
