Overview

Property Description

Set within the gated Estate section of Ruby Ranch, this single-story residence sits on 2 usable acres shaded by mature Live Oaks and backing directly to Onion Creek—an uncommon combination of privacy and Hill Country beauty that’s increasingly hard to find this close to Austin. This custom home spans 3001 SF with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The main living area is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by double French doors that pull in natural light and long views of the property. The kitchen, dining, and living areas connect seamlessly while maintaining clear, defined spaces, striking a balance between openness and thoughtful separation. Out back, an expansive covered patio opens to Live Oaks, a creekside setting, and peaceful sunsets. Gather around the fire pit for evening chats or nurture homegrown vegetables and herbs in the garden. Wildlife and open sky replace traffic and noise. The level backyard is ideal for a pool and casita. Create your own oasis! A dedicated office sits apart from the main living areas, and a flexible secondary space can shift with your needs—fitness, media, or play. The utility room is oversized and practical. The primary suite is positioned for privacy and includes direct patio access. The generous bath is designed with scale in mind—a separate soaking tub surrounded with natural light, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a thoughtfully configured walk-in closet with built-in organization that maximizes usability. A side entry three-car garage supports both storage and hobby use, and the property benefits from a low 1.71% tax rate. The roof was replaced in November 2025 and has a transferable warranty. Ruby Ranch is known for its acreage homes, quiet setting, and access to the broader Hill Country lifestyle, while still keeping you within reach of Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, and Austin for dining, work, and day-to-day needs. This is the kind of property people hold onto for a long time, and for good reason.
