12708 Lipizzan Ct, Austin, TX 78732

This magnificent six bedroom, four full bath home in Steiner Ranch is within walking distance of Laura Welch Bush Elementary and Canyon Ridge Middle Schools. That's right, six bedrooms, so if you need that many, this is one of the few in Steiner that can accommodate. Otherwise, a media room, second office, craft room, or exercise room are great uses of the space. The island kitchen features granite countertops, a host of tall cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, built-in oven, microwave, gas cooktop, dishwasher, & exhaust vent. The open family room boasts a two-story ceiling, a wall of windows overlooking the backyard oasis, fireplace, and built-in speakers. The office offers a tranquil space with French doors, crown molding, and plantation shutters. Retreat to the luxurious master suite, complete with a bay window, wood-look tile flooring, and walk-in closet. The master bath has a whirlpool tub, separate shower, and dual sinks. On the main floor is a secondary bedroom, but it can also be used as a media room since the projector, screen, and speakers are included. There are four additional bedrooms upstairs with two on each side of the central game room. There are two full baths upstairs set up so each set of bedrooms shares one. Step outside to the sprawling backyard retreat, where you'll find a pool, spa, covered patio, uncovered patio, and custom masonry planters. Whether you're lounging by the pool or hosting a barbecue, this outdoor space is perfect for year-round enjoyment. The 3.5 car garage offers plenty of spaces for cars and other storage. Also close by is one of the three Steiner Ranch community centers with tennis courts, a basketball court, pavilion, sports field, playground, pool, kids pool, and the dog park. Steiner also offers access to Lake Austin and more than 20 miles of hiking trails.

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.
