About This Home

LUXURY, Sweeping Hill Country VIEWS, and Direct Access to 342 Acres of TRAILS define this exceptional Serene Hills home. A dramatic two-story rotunda entry sets the tone for the open, airy atmosphere throughout. Rich hardwood flooring flows across the main level into the spacious family room and gourmet kitchen, appointed with high-end appliances and an oversized island designed for gathering and entertaining. A striking wall of sliding glass doors in the family room fills the space with natural light and opens seamlessly to the expansive covered porch, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and framing panoramic Hill Country views. The owner’s retreat is a private sanctuary with a spa-inspired bath and a discreet door connecting directly to the oversized laundry room for added convenience. A main-level guest suite offers flexibility for visitors or young children, while upstairs you’ll find two additional oversized bedrooms, each with its own full bath, plus a game room and media room that can easily function as a fifth bedroom. A dedicated main-level office provides a quiet work-from-home space. The three-car garage offers abundant storage, complemented by an extra-wide driveway for additional parking and easy ingress and egress onto Serene Hills Drive. Set on an oversized, nearly half-acre lot and backing to a greenbelt, this home offers rare privacy and immediate access to scenic trails just steps from your door. The easy-to-maintain native stone and stucco exterior provides timeless Hill Country appeal with lasting durability.
