At 12525 Evening Star Pass in Steiner Ranch, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom single-story home sits just two minutes from the Lake Austin boat ramp and functions as a fully realized private resort on a 0.341-acre lot. Built in 2017 and completely reimagined from slab to walls, the 3,506-square-foot residence at $456 per square foot delivers the kind of refined outdoor-to-indoor living that typically requires a second home.

The kitchen anchors the main living areas with Thermador Professional appliances including a 30-inch column refrigerator, dual-zone wine refrigerator, double ovens, and a 7-foot quartz waterfall island that opens directly to the dining and living spaces. Oil-rubbed light oak wood flooring flows across the main level, while the primary bedroom suite sits on the main floor with an Elfa system walk-in closet and direct access to the backyard. A second living area with a 13-foot live edge birch installation by Acorn Carpentry and a Breda Beds Murphy bed system provides flexible space for guests or multi-generational living. The garage includes Tesla Wall Connector pre-wiring and built-in cabinetry for the kind of organized functionality that separates intentional homes from merely large ones.

The backyard is the property's defining feature. A resort-style pool and spa sit centered on expansive travertine decking with multiple outdoor living zones anchored by a custom pergola, fire pit, TEC infrared gas grill, and Weber Smoky Mountain smoker. An Elite Screens 100-inch outdoor projector screen extends entertainment into the evening. Automated landscape lighting, a fully integrated Sonos audio system indoors and out, and pre-wiring for solar complete the infrastructure. Every major system reflects deliberate upgrade selection: Springwell whole-home water filtration, recently updated HVAC, smart thermostat, and high-speed internet throughout.

River Ridge Elementary, Canyon Ridge Middle, and Vandegrift High School serve the property under Leander ISD. The location at Steiner Ranch provides gated privacy while positioning residents two minutes from water recreation and roughly 25 minutes from downtown Austin's tech corridor. This is a home where the boundary between inside and outside has been erased entirely, and every detail supports a life organized around leisure and refinement.

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.
