11725 Red Oak Valley Ln, Austin, TX 78732

Set inside one of Austin's most prestigious private club communities, the University of Texas Golf Club at Steiner Ranch. This 4-bedroom, 4-bath, 3,347-square-foot residence on Red Oak Valley Lane delivers true 360-degree privacy, a fully finished attached casita, and a pool-and-courtyard setup built for entertaining. Step through the entrance foyer and the home opens immediately into high ceilings with wooden beams spanning the kitchen and main living area. The open floor plan connects the kitchen, with its generous bar space and 270-degree counter layout, directly to the living room. A fireplace anchors the living space, and the sightlines carry straight out to the greenbelt behind the property. An exercise room adds further flex to the layout. The pool and patio area are fully enclosed with full privacy and the outdoor living space functions as a private retreat. The attached casita, accessible through a dedicated courtyard, adds a fully finished guest suite or flex space with its own bathroom, completely separate from the main home. Upstairs, panoramic canyon views open from the second-floor bedroom, looking out over the protected greenbelt and Hill Country. Students in this section of Steiner Ranch attend River Ridge Elementary, Canyon Ridge Middle School, and Vandegrift High School, all within Leander ISD. Residents have access to the Steiner Ranch lake club on Lake Austin, multiple community parks, miles of hiking and biking trails, and optional UT Golf Club membership covering golf, tennis, and social events.

At 11725 Red Oak Valley Lane in Steiner Ranch Phase 1, this 3,347-square-foot home sits within one of Austin's most exclusive private communities, offering the daily experience of a five-star resort without ever leaving your address. The property delivers complete privacy across its 0.2087-acre lot, backed by protected greenbelt that frames panoramic canyon views and ensures neighbors remain out of sight and mind.

The home's design centers on seamless indoor-outdoor living. Step through the entrance foyer and the open floor plan immediately reveals itself, with wooden beams arching across the kitchen and main living area. The kitchen features a generous island with a 270-degree counter layout, stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, and granite counters that flow directly into the living room. A fireplace anchors the main gathering space while sightlines carry unobstructed through to the greenbelt beyond. The primary bedroom sits on the main level with a walk-in closet and soaking tub, eliminating the need to navigate stairs for everyday living.

The outdoor living setup is the true resort amenity. A fully enclosed pool and courtyard occupy the backyard, creating a private water retreat. Covered patios and an uncovered courtyard allow for sun and shade options depending on the day. An attached casita with its own private entrance and bathroom offers a completely separate guest suite or flex space, accessible through a dedicated courtyard. This dual-structure setup means family visits or entertaining never requires guests to pass through your main living areas.

Upstairs, additional bedrooms access that same canyon view, while an exercise room on the main level adds flexibility for work-from-home professionals. Three full baths plus a half bath serve the four-bedroom layout. The property's location within Steiner Ranch means residents access the Steiner Ranch Lake Club on Lake Austin, community parks, and miles of hiking and biking trails. Optional UT Golf Club membership covers golf, tennis, and social memberships. Students attend River Ridge Elementary, Canyon Ridge Middle School, and Vandegrift High School within Leander ISD.

At $359 per square foot, this home delivers resort-caliber living and privacy at $1.20 million. For Austin professionals seeking a permanent vacation setting within a gated community, this combination of pool, casita, greenbelt privacy, and country club access is genuinely rare.

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.
