10019 Estancia Ln, Austin, TX 78739

*** DEADLINE - Highest and Best by 7pm, Monday 3/2 *** This Circle C Ranch, 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 2 story home, with a dedicated office and formal dining area, offers a sprawling layout and a backyard resort on over a 1/3 of an acre, shaded by 60-foot Oak and Elm trees. Positioned on a quiet double cul-de-sac, this residence brings a sense of privacy and scale rarely found. The Circle C Ranch community is known for its tree-lined streets and active lifestyle, and this property sits at the center of it all, offering immediate access to the neighborhood’s extensive trail system and premier community amenities. Living in Circle C Ranch places you 11 miles of Downtown Austin and 16 miles from the Austin Airport. The proximity to MoPac ensures that while the home feels tucked away, the rest of the city is easily reachable. The open-concept kitchen and breakfast area flow into the living room, where a custom rock fireplace serves as a focal point. The kitchen features granite countertops, a center island, and a wrap-around breakfast bar that separates the cooking space from the living area. The primary suite is located on the main floor for maximum privacy, featuring a wall of windows that look out toward the pool and an ensuite bath with a standalone soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanity. Moving upstairs, a large game room with built-in bookshelves serves as a secondary living space, with windows that provide an elevated view of the backyard canopy. 3 guest bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are also located on the 2nd story. The backyard is centered around a 9.5-foot deep pool. This outdoor space is equipped with a grotto and waterfall, alongside a large hot tub and stone patio. The grounds include a custom treehouse and a firepit area, all shielded by lush landscaping and mature trees. Whether you are in the kitchen or the living room, large windows keep the backyard greenery in view, grounding the home in its unique Circle C Ranch setting.

Scale is the defining advantage at 10019 Estancia Ln, where a 4,036 square foot home sits on 0.3473 acres in Circle C Ranch. In Austin ISD and assigned to Kiker, Gorzycki, and Bowie, this five bedroom, three bath, one half bath residence pairs a larger lot with a layout that is increasingly difficult to find in Austin, especially at $1.18M, or $291 per square foot. Built in 1998 and on the market for 8 days, the property stands out for the way its size, lot depth, and established setting work together. The homesite is positioned on a quiet double cul-de-sac, which matters for privacy, reduced through traffic, and day to day livability. In a neighborhood where mature trees shape the streetscape and buyer demand stays consistent, that combination carries real weight.

The floor plan is built for range. The primary suite is on the main level, separated from the secondary bedrooms upstairs, which gives the home a more functional split between private and shared space. A dedicated office, formal dining area, open kitchen and breakfast area, and an upstairs game room add flexibility without pushing the plan into wasted square footage. The living room centers on a custom rock fireplace, while the kitchen uses granite counters, a center island, and a wrap-around breakfast bar to anchor the core gathering space. Large windows keep the backyard in view, which is important here because the outdoor setting is a major part of the property’s value.

The pool and surrounding yard shift this home from standard suburban inventory into something with more scarcity. A 9.5-foot deep pool, grotto, waterfall, hot tub, stone patio, firepit area, and custom treehouse create an outdoor footprint that supports both daily use and larger gatherings. Mature Oak and Elm trees add shade and screening that would take decades to replicate. The two-car garage and single family configuration keep the offering practical, but the broader story is about land use and setting. In Circle C Ranch, buyers track lot size, privacy, school path, and the ability to secure indoor and outdoor square footage in one purchase. This property checks those boxes in a way that should hold relevance well beyond the current listing window.

Circle C Ranch has 3.2 miles of dedicated cycling trail that no car has ever been allowed to touch. The Veloway is a paved loop exclusively for cyclists and inline skaters, winding through Hill Country terrain on the southern edge of the neighborhood. It is the kind of amenity that sounds like a city planning fantasy but has been operating since 1992, and it tells you something important about what this community prioritizes: outdoor access, family infrastructure, and the kind of thoughtful planning that most master-planned neighborhoods only promise.

Circle C sits in southwest Austin in the 78739 zip code, roughly bounded by MoPac Expressway to the east, Slaughter Lane to the north, Escarpment Boulevard to the west, and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center to the south. Downtown Austin is about a 20-minute drive via MoPac. The Southwest Parkway provides a secondary route that connects to Highway 71 and the Hill Country corridor. The Escarpment Village shopping center at the neighborhood's edge handles most daily errands, and a second commercial cluster at William Cannon and MoPac adds more options. Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, and the Hill Country Galleria are all accessible within 15 to 20 minutes heading west.

The housing stock spans about four decades of development. The original phase of Circle C launched in 1986, and the Traditional Texas Suburban homes from that era through 2000 make up roughly 40 percent of the inventory. These are typically 2,000 to 3,500 square feet on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, with brick or stone exteriors and mature landscaping. Hill Country Contemporary homes built between 2000 and 2015 account for another 25 percent, bringing limestone accents, metal roofing, and more open floor plans. Newer production-builder sections from 2010 through 2022 add modern designs at a 20 percent share. Townhomes, patio homes, and a small number of custom estates round out the mix. Pricing runs from the mid $400s for older homes or townhomes to around $1.2 million for larger updated homes on premium lots. Circle C delivers strong value compared to Westlake or Barton Creek for families who want space and schools without the seven-figure entry point.

The neighborhood is served by Austin ISD, and the school situation is one of the primary reasons people move here. Clayton Elementary, Kiker Elementary, and Mills Elementary all serve different sections of the community, and each maintains strong parent involvement and academic performance. Small Middle School and Bowie High School handle the upper grades. Bowie is one of the larger high schools in Austin ISD but maintains a strong academic reputation, particularly in STEM programs and athletics. The combination of neighborhood-feel elementary schools and a well-resourced high school makes Circle C one of the most consistently popular family destinations in south Austin.

The daily routine in Circle C revolves around the outdoors. Morning runners and cyclists hit the Veloway or the Slaughter Creek Trail before work. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which sits at the southern tip of the neighborhood, provides 284 acres of native Texas landscape for walking, photography, and events. Grey Rock Golf Club offers a public course within the community. The Circle C Swim Center and community pool system stays busy from April through October. For dining, Keepers Coastal Kitchen and District Kitchen anchor the Escarpment Village corridor with sit-down options that have raised the local restaurant scene well beyond the chains that typically dominate master-planned neighborhoods. Oasthouse Kitchen and Jack Allen's Kitchen are both a short drive north. The Alamo Drafthouse on Slaughter Lane handles movie nights, and the Wildflower Center hosts seasonal festivals and concerts.

Circle C holds a distinct position in Austin's suburban market. It is less expensive than Westlake or Barton Creek but offers comparable school quality within Austin ISD rather than requiring the premium of Eanes or Lake Travis districts. Compared to Shady Hollow and Bauerle Ranch to the east, Circle C has better trail infrastructure and more neighborhood amenities. Compared to Belterra further southwest, it provides a significantly shorter commute and more established commercial options. The neighborhood competes most directly with Sendera and Legend Oaks on the south side, though Circle C's Veloway, Wildflower Center proximity, and deeper inventory give it an edge in the family market.

Circle C is the right choice for families who want genuine outdoor amenities and good Austin ISD schools without paying West Austin luxury prices. It works for dual-income households in southwest Austin's tech corridor, families who want neighborhood stability, and active adults who will use the trails and pool system. If your priority list starts with schools, outdoor access, and community, Circle C delivers on all three at a price point that still makes financial sense.
