Secluded 1,200 SF Casita in Idyllic Hill Country Setting Minutes From Downtown

Nestled deep in a serene valley, this gorgeous 1,200 SF Guest Casita offers a peaceful retreat amidst the woods. With abundant natural light and open spaces, the casita provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Property Highlights:

Expansive 5-Acre Grounds: Enjoy stunning vistas, hiking trails, and a blend of natural and sculptural beauty throughout the rustic property.
Outdoor Amenities: Relax at the large built-in picnic table below the porch or explore the open-air plaza nearby. Wander along hiking pathways leading to three serene ponds or the spectacular 90,000-gallon pool featuring a grotto and waterfall.
Austin Hill Country Charm: Experience the tranquility of the Austin Hill Country while being just minutes from downtown Austin.
Important Details:

Natural Terrain: The property features gravel roads, walkways, and uneven stone stairs. Sensible shoes or tennis shoes are recommended for navigating the rough terrain.
Nature and Wildlife: Immerse yourself in nature with modern comforts. Expect to see birds, squirrels, lizards, and the occasional bug or spider.
Eco-Friendly Pool: The pool is naturally fed by rainwater and free of chemicals, with fish swimming and some silt on the bottom. A robust filtration system filters the entirety of the pool every hour, so it is safe to swim in year-round. It may appear green in spring and early summer, but it remains safe for swimming. Please note that this isn’t your typical chlorinated backyard pool, and it is more like swimming in a natural swimming hole. We absolutely love it, but want to point this out as that may not be everyone’s cup of tea!
We're delighted to host you and ensure you have a memorable stay in this unique and grand respite in the city. Welcome to your peaceful retreat!
