A birdwatcher’s haven and nature-lover’s retreat in Sunset Canyon, this thoughtfully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home on 1.6 acres captures the peaceful beauty of Hill Country living. With mature oaks, deer, native wildlife, and birds often passing through, the backyard feels private, natural, and connected to its surroundings. Large rear-facing windows bring the outdoors in, offering peaceful views of the backyard and an ideal setting to enjoy nature from inside the home. Inside, the home features a flexible layout with two generous living areas, durable flooring throughout with no carpet, and a fourth bedroom that can also serve as an office or flex space with a full closet. The primary suite offers spa-inspired bathroom updates and a custom closet designed for both style and function. Outdoor living is a true highlight, with a dreamy pergola for dining al fresco, an oversized covered patio for year-round relaxation, and a fire pit area made for evenings under the Texas stars. Toward the rear of the property, the established chicken coop adds charm and function while leaving plenty of usable space to enjoy the land. The expansive lot offers room for a future casita, guest house, multi-generational living setup, or RV parking, subject to applicable restrictions and approvals. Recent updates include a brand-new roof, newer HVAC systems, new water heater, and a three-car garage with epoxy-coated floors. Ideally located with easy access to Dripping Springs and Austin, this Sunset Canyon property is near Belterra Village, Dripping Springs and Nutty Brown H-E-B locations, and other everyday conveniences. Located in Dripping Springs ISD with no mandatory HOA, this property offers space, flexibility, and a rare connection to nature in an established Hill Country neighborhood.
