Property Description

Nestled on a full acre in Manchaca, just southwest of Austin, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare blend of privacy, intentional design, and custom features seldom found this close to the city. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home spans 2,200 square feet and is surrounded by a curated landscape that feels like a private botanical retreat. The Property is uniquely situated at the northern edge of Hays County with its lower property taxes, off a very quiet dead-end country lane, and yet just two miles from an on-ramp to Highway 45 that offers a 25-minute commute to DT Austin and ABIA. This home delivers peaceful county living with exceptional accessibility.

Across the street is a 300+ acre nature preserve where no development is allowed. Over two thirds of the land has been thoughtfully designed by the organic gardener owners, featuring 60+ species of plants, mature fruit trees, and raised garden beds that create a self-sustaining and visually stunning outdoor environment. Majestic oak trees anchor the backyard, where a 750 sq ft deck overlooks a natural water swimming pool—chemical and salt free, 20x40 ft with an 8-foot depth—offering a resort-style experience.
A separate 216 sq ft office with vaulted ceilings, bamboo floors, and expansive windows is ideal for remote work, creative space, or guests. A pool house and workshop add flexibility rarely found in residential properties. Two decks off the main home capture serene views, while approximately 3,500 gallons of water storage with a high-pressure pump adds functionality and resilience.
This is not a cookie-cutter home, but a thoughtfully crafted retreat blending nature, sustainability, and convenience—an exceptional opportunity in the Manchaca area.
