Upstairs you will find three generously sized secondary bedrooms and a versatile bonus room. Outside, the resort-style pool and hot tub - built in 2024 - feature low-chlorine UV-light sanitization, wireless controls, a tanning ledge, swim-up bar seating and a heater AND chiller for extended year-round enjoyment. A covered outdoor patio provides shade and additional yard space completes the backyard. Improvements go well beyond the surface, with a brand new roof installed on 09/11/2026, both HVAC systems replaced in 2022 and 2023, and one water heater replaced in 2022. Smart-home technology controls select light switches, LED lighting in kitchen cabinets, thermostats, the garage door and pool features (pump, lights, and the pool chiller and heater). A three-car tandem garage with epoxy flooring, overhead storage and a Level 2 EV charger adds even more functionality. Updated, connected and designed for everyday living and entertaining - this home is ready for you to enjoy!

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.
