1017 Horseback Holw, Austin, TX 78732

This single-story home in Steiner Ranch pairs an open floor plan with real outdoor entertaining space on Horseback Holw. A covered, pergola-topped patio and wood deck extend the living space outside.

Inside, the open floor plan connects an oversized living room, a formal dining room, and the kitchen, with a stone fireplace anchoring the main gathering space. The kitchen features white cabinetry, a center island, stainless appliances, and a subway tile backsplash, opening directly onto the living area for effortless everyday entertaining.

This 3,087 square foot layout also separates the primary suite from all three secondary bedrooms, giving every member of the household room to spread out. A dedicated home office sits apart from the bedrooms entirely, ready for daily work-from-home use. The primary suite includes two separate closets and a primary bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanity, and tile flooring. Recently updated carpet and flooring run throughout, and a dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience. A covered front entry porch and foyer greet visitors before they reach the open living space inside. Steiner Ranch residents have access to three community centers, including Bella Mar and John Simpson, resort-style pools, twenty miles of hike and bike trails through the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, the University of Texas Golf Club, and the private Lake Club with boat launch on Lake Austin. This indoor-outdoor entertainer's home is ready for its next owner in one of Northwest Austin's most amenity-rich planned communities.

Steiner Ranch is a 4,600-acre master-planned community in 78732, built along the bluffs above Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Median home price $800K. Leander ISD schools (Laura Bush Elementary, Canyon Ridge Middle, Vandegrift High), three resort-style community pools, 20+ miles of trails, and private Lake Austin access via the Lake Club.

Around 6,500 homes across multiple sections, built from the late 1990s through today. Housing ranges from $500K townhomes to $2M+ estates backing to the UT Golf Club (Roy Bechtol championship course, 7,412 yards). The community is fully built out in most sections, with limited new construction remaining.

Daily life revolves around being outside. Trail runners hit J Canyon and Powerline Hill loops before work. The Lake Club gives residents private boat launch access with eleven day-use docks on Lake Austin. Lake Travis is five minutes from the community entrance. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse — panoramic lake views, live music seven nights a week — is the social center.

What makes Steiner Ranch the value play for lake-adjacent living: resort-level amenities at a fraction of Lake Austin waterfront pricing, strong schools, and a community infrastructure (pools, trails, golf, lake access) that most master-planned developments can't match. The tradeoff is the 620 commute — 25-35 minutes to downtown depending on traffic.
