Come see this remarkable 32+ acre hilltop estate and one of the highest elevations in a 25 mile radius. Enter through the private gate, drive underneath a canopy of blooming crepe myrtles, and ascend to the perfect topography of the park-like groomed gentleman's ranch. Enjoy the beautiful hardwood trees and the cedar groves that provide delightful shade. The elegant 4970 sq. ft. home has 4 bedrooms, each with a private full bath, a Class 4 metal, impact resistant roof, lovely pool, and breathtaking views in all directions. The property also enjoys low wildlife exemption taxes. There is a 3500+ sq. ft. barn with a breezeway and concrete floors. This shop-style barn can be easily transformed into a 8+ stall horse barn. The barn boasts air conditioned offices and storerooms. The second barn, constructed in 2021, is a luxury horse barn that has everything a horse owner could want (see the features list). The hilltop riding arena has incredible views in all directions and is graded to serve as one of the best potential homesites in greater Austin. You must see it to believe the views. This amazing property is lightly restricted and can be subdivided to 7.5 acre minimum parcels. The property includes 2 high-producing wells as well as city water. Transfer switches at the home and both barns provide generator power for all buildings as needed. This exceptional property is a horseman's dream and also has significant development potential for subdivision. This property is one of few remaining large parcels only 25 minutes to downtown Austin, yet with all the benefits of privacy and security. The exemplary Dripping Springs Schools are another sought after benefit. Don't miss the features list, this ranch has too many unique and desirable characteristics to list in one short paragraph! See the map showing the proximity to all Austin has to offer. This property has no rocks or stumps for easy ride on mowing. Owner/Agent
