Rare opportunity to own a ranch style home in Ruby Ranch! This almost 2.6 acre property has magnificent ancient oaks, a wet weather pond, pool, entertaining area, and so much more! This property is conveniently located at the edge of wine country, near the Salt Lick, and only 20 minutes to Downtown Austin! This 3 bed/2 bath custom home has a custom centerpiece fireplace in the living room, interior masonry, open shared area, huge bedrooms, and a lot of shade on the home all day long to reduce energy cost! Enjoy your covered and shaded front porch while you listen to the quiet country breezes and wildlife. Take a short drive through the countryside to meet friends at any number of wineries and highly rated restaurants. This home is a short drive from the new Driftwood Golf and Ranch Club! Your furry friends will have so much room to run around as the whole property is fully fenced. The owners also considered adding on prior to deciding to purchase and build to suit, so there are free engineered plans to add on a detached mother in law suite and jack-n-jill bath near the 2 guest bedrooms. While this home is located outside of city limits in a country setting, you will still be less than 10 minutes to get a gallon of milk, or any other quick items that CVS carries. 13 minutes to HEB. Schools are very close, and traffic on the west side of the schools have historically been much easier to navigate than the east side of the schools. Carpenter Hill elementary has STEM programs, and Johnson High School is very new, and just graduated its first set of seniors in the past couple years. Seller is providing $16,812.50 as quoted by the pool repair company, to the buyers closing costs so that the buyer can repair pool and have pool replastered to the buyers desired color.
