Just south of Austin, this rural yet refined property is set in the rolling hills and wide open spaces of Driftwood, Texas surrounded by wineries, 3 miles from Discovery Land Company's renowned Driftwood Golf Course and only 35 minutes to Austin Bergstrom International Airport. Hundreds of live oaks including dozens of grandfather oaks frame open fields on this nine acre hill country estate. The stunning gated retreat boasts of three strategically placed residences that provide both privacy and accessibility to one another and could be utilized as multi-generational living, a sanctuary for guests, or a homesteading community. The Original Farmhouse which is 3556 sq feet on 4.92 acres and in the center of the property, was built in 1972 and began its extensive renovation with Austin designer Heather Scott on HGTVs House Hunters Renovation in 2015. Bienvenidos was built in 2020 and Escondida in 2023, both 2290 sq ft and identical floor plans modeled after the original farmhouse on the property. The Bienvenidos and Escondida Farmhouses hem the property in on both the east and west on 2 acres each. Each of the three homes has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths totaling 12 bedrooms and 9 baths and a total of 8,136 total square feet. Both smaller houses have two car carports and Escondida Farmhouse has two EV Tesla electric car chargers. The Original Farmhouse has a cedar barrel hot tub, a large four car carport with a 5th spot for storage of an RV as well as a detached office and shed. No HOA or deed restrictions. Plenty of room to expand and make this property your own. Please provide preapproval or proof of funds prior to booking showing appointment. Agent/Owner must be present.
