Welcome to 1296 Trebled Waters, a thoughtfully designed custom home in the highly sought-after Howard Ranch community, where timeless architecture meets the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Built in 2017 on over 3 acres with classic, enduring finishes, this exceptional property offers 3,235 square feet in the main residence, featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and inviting spaces designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.
