A pastoral family compound just outside of Dripping Springs, this incredible offering is the personal home of a custom builder, created to his exacting expectations. The ultimate Texas retreat, the property features over two and a half acres of Hill Country acreage with a four-season creek running through mature oaks and wildflowers. A stone surrounded pool lies just beyond and features a splashing stone waterfall and hot tub. The home is crafted with exquisite attention to both livability and luxury. Throughout, you’ll find unique salvaged materials and vintage items, giving the new construction a sense of history. A large, vaulted great room is bookended by a floor-to-ceiling native limestone fireplace in the living room and matching wall in the kitchen. Rich, rustic beams and burnished hardwood floors contrast with the native stone and are highlighted by the light flooding through clerestory windows and a wall of glass doors opening out to the covered terrace and landscape beyond. The gorgeous open kitchen serves as a gathering space as well as cooking station with a shiplap-lined butler’s pantry and bar providing serving space for larger gatherings. Secluded on one side of the house, the luxurious primary suite enjoys views out over the property and direct access to the patio. A unique sitting room off the primary features a fireplace and television, perfect for a quiet evening wind-down after the kids have gone to bed. On the opposite side of the house lie three additional bedrooms, one with its own bath and vintage fireplace mantel. An adjacent playroom provides access to the outdoors. Both kids and adult friends will enjoy the upstairs bonus room; outfit it as a game space, media room, craft room or fill it with toys. The adjacent bunk room fits plenty of beds for sleepovers.
