About this property

High-end Home on 33 Acres to Roam, Short Drive to Downtown.

Very private luxury home located on 33 acres in the heart of the "Wedding Capital of Texas", at the entrance of the "Texas Wine Trail” and directly on Barton Creek. Eighteen short miles from downtown Austin and nine miles from historic downtown Dripping Springs. This secluded retreat is nestled in the Barton Creek Valley just west of downtown Austin. It is the ideal location for a family or a group of friends to explore all that Central Texas has to offer. Downtown Austin, the hill country, shopping, outdoor recreation, breweries, wineries, distilleries, olive farms, family activities and iconic local restaurants are all near by. Great home base to enjoy special events such as UT Football, Formula 1, Austin City Limits, SXSW and countless others. Filming Site of "Stan's Place" in the CW's series "Walker", staring Jared Padalecki - Season 1 Episode 18 and Season 3 of Overtime.tv "Ram Drafthouse", featuring CJ Stroud, Bijan Robinson & Will Anderson Jr.

Our home is extremely private at the end of a dead-end street with the nearest neighbor being over 100 yards away. This secluded gem offers star filled night skies with only the sound of night birds, the rustle of the trees and the howl of a distant coyote. Even though you are in the country, downtown Austin is a short 18 mile drive and 9 miles from Dripping Springs' famous dance halls, bars and restaurants. Even better, you can walk to award winning Jester King Brewery, Revolution Distillery, C.L. Butaud Wines wine tasting room, and Stanley's Farmhouse Pizza. The house is 6000 square feet overlooking the Barton Creek Valley surrounded by 33 acres of wooded areas and pasture. It can sleep up to 16 people. It has 5 bedrooms plus a theater that can be converted into sleeping area. Prior to entering the home you may see our chicken coop, feel free to gather some fresh eggs! Once you enter into a high walled courtyard filled with plants that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. There are several sitting areas in the courtyard, perfect for star gazing at night.

As you enter the house, on the main floor, you will enter the great room that opens up to an outside upper patio overlooking the pool and the Barton Creek Valley. Along with the views, the upper patio greets you with a fire place, seating and dining areas, an outdoor grill and, between March and September, hummingbirds zipping by all day fighting over the feeders! Our very large chef's kitchen, perfect for community cooking, along with a large dinning table make meal time a joy and two dishwashers make cleanup a snap! Or really spoil yourself and ask about our private chef that can come cook you a multi course meal with wine pairings. The breakfast bar sits 4, the dining room table sits 10 very comfortably. You will find a powder room on the main floor along with laundry facilities if needed.

The master bedroom, with its king sized bed is also on the main floor, as is a room with a queen sized bed and a room with two queen sized beds. The master bedroom and the room with one queen sized bed have private baths and balconies overlooking the pool and the Barton Creek Valley. The third room, with two queen sized beds has a fireplace and access to the courtyard. The main floor guest room is handicapped friendly with a roll-in shower and wall support for toilet transfers.

The top floor features the "Rapunzel Suite". This room stands alone at the top of a winding staircase for complete privacy. We can add an additional actual queen sized bed into this room in order to sleep 4. The views from the private balcony are breathtaking. The luxurious bathroom will spoil you in comfort.

The pool level floor, accessible by stairs and an elevator (available for mobility challenged) from the main floor, includes a guest room with a private bath and queen sized bed. No balcony but direct pool access for that midnight swim! On this level there is a pool table, mini-kitchen with sink, mini frig and microwave. Additionally, a large format screen in a theater that can also accommodate up to six people with three actual queen size beds, not air mattresses. There is also a full bath in the common area for pool use and those staying in the theater.

Pool level outside has very large poolside patio and lounge area, infinity edge pool and jacuzzi. Heating of the jacuzzi is included in your rental, the pool can be heated for an additional charge.

Other features include NetFlix, HBO, Amazon Prime, wireless internet, and board games.

Magical!
What a treat it was to stay here! We had a group of nine adults and this house had plenty of space for us to spread out as well as several communal areas for gathering together. The house was clean, the kitchen had plenty of supplies, the views were breathtaking, and the hot tub was the cherry on top. Kurt took it to the next level by walking us through the house, showing us how to use the technology, giving us activity recommendations, and responding quickly over the phone to any questions that came up. He also connected us with a wonderful local driver, which was really helpful because the house is pretty remote. 10/10, would absolutely stay here again.

Fabulous in every way!
The week we spent at this amazing house was fabulous in every way. You will not find a more beautiful home than this one! It had every amenity we could possibly need. The pool and hottub are fabulous and look out over a spectacular hill country view. We had 4 couples comfortably staying in their own bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms. Kurt (the owner) was so accommodating and stayed in touch with us all week to answer questions and ensure we had everything we needed. He also made great recommendations for restaurants and activities in the local area (easy drives to Dripping Springs and Austin). I highly recommend the easy hike to Hamilton Pool Preserve (make reservations in advance). The added bonus is that Kurt has a few beautiful chickens on his 30 acre estate, who laid fresh eggs for us everyday. This was the highlight of the trip for my 18 yr old daughter who insisted on visiting the chickens regularly! We will be back to this home for future vacations!

Loved the chicken coop
Great family reunion getaway. Host went to extra lengths to secure a ping-pong table for us so our tournaments could go on and on. There were 9 of us and our dog. Great gathering spaces.

Amazing Hill Country Mansion with Views!
We stayed here with our kids while getting the family together for Christmas in Dripping Springs and the house was amazing! You walk in through a beautiful courtyard area and the main floor has the kitchen/living/dining open area, outdoor patio, and 3 bedrooms total (1 being the master suite). The lower floor has a bedroom, theatre room, hang out area, and you walk out into the pool and yard area. There is one additional master suite type room up on the third floor. There is certainly no lack of space for a family and everything was immaculate! The Hot Tub worked perfectly as a “Winter Pool” and the house as a whole was everything we could have asked for as a place to land over the holidays! Our kids are still talking about the hidden pantry as well as the chickens on the property that they could collect eggs from! Kurt, the owner, is so welcoming and friendly, and truly wants guests to enjoy the home as if it were theirs. We give this place 5 stars and will be back again!
