Welcome to the charm of Texas Hill Country & front porch living! This beautifully remodeled, traditional pier-and-beam cottage is nestled on a peaceful 2.5-acre lot, surrounded by trees, offering total privacy. It’s a perfect wildlife sanctuary with enough space to accommodate two horses. There are plenty of areas to unwind, whether it’s around the fire pit, on the kid-friendly playground, or in the fenced yard. The property also features a fenced garden, which could double as a dog run. In addition to a 3-car carport, there’s a small garage/workshop, a storage outbuilding, and a well house with extra storage space. The fenced corral includes an open-front barn or shelter. Horses, some livestock and chickens are welcome here, there’s also ample room for RVs and trailers. An 50A RV electrical outlet has been conveniently installed towards the back of the property. Just a scenic 15-minute drive away, you'll find shopping, HEB, and other conveniences. This home is also served by the highly regarded Dripping Springs ISD, has a low tax rate, and no HOA! It's easy to access Bee Cave Galleria Mall via Martin/McGregor/Fitzhugh/Ranch Road 12, and you'll be close to local vineyards, breweries, wineries, olive orchards, parks, rodeo center and other Hill Country attractions. Enjoy quick access to Lake Travis and Hamilton Pool for weekend outings. The septic system was updated in 2019 with a modern Aerobic system. Outside City Limits & ETJ. No HOA! Please note: The 16x40 Dirkson shed sketched on the survey is scheduled to be removed 21st May and is not part of the property sale.
