4 bed, 4 bath, 3,400 sqft on 12.68 acres in Dripping Springs. Dripping Springs, TX 78736. $2,499,000. Dripping Springs ISD.
From the moment you arrive, 425 feet of crystal-clear Barton Creek sets the tone: beautiful pecan trees arch overhead, native grasses sway along the banks, and the sounds of wildlife replace the noise of the city. Tucked into the heart of the Fitzhugh Corridor, this extraordinary 12.68-acre waterfront retreat offers a lifestyle that is increasingly rare — seclusion, natural beauty, and effortless access to Austin, Bee Cave, and Dripping Springs. The beautifully remodeled stone home (3 beds, 3.5 baths, 3 living, 1 dining) — completed in 2017 and crowned with a classic metal roof — blends timeless Texas character with modern comfort. Heatilator fireplace bring a rare vintage charm you simply cannot replicate, and the kitchen windows frame sweeping views of Barton Creek. It is the kind of home where every room feels connected to the land. Built in 2016, the separate guesthouse is a proven income producer (1 bed, 1 bath, 1 living & full kitchen) — already active on VRBO and Airbnb — offering flexibility for hosting family, generating rental revenue, home office or all of the above. A limestone fire pit, a maturing peach tree (with two young companions), and glimpses of foxes, wild turkeys, and songbirds complete the picture of this truly special property. The acreage has room to add horses, a barn, and a private arena — everything you need to build a personal equestrian setup minutes from Austin. A wildlife exemption keeps taxes remarkably low, and the land's natural topography and mature canopy ensure complete privacy year-round. The creek keeps the land alive. Beautiful additional build location on the highest elevation of the property giving way to amazing Hill Country views. Whether you are seeking a full-time sanctuary, a weekend escape, or an investment opportunity with character, this property delivers on every count. **Square footage to be verified by buyer.**
Wake to the gentle sound of Barton Creek flowing past 425 feet of pristine waterfront at 14909 Fitzhugh Road in the Dripping Springs area of Austin, where 12.682 acres of native pecan and oak trees create a natural boundary between your home and the water. This is not suburban living. This is a complete departure from it.
The main residence, a stone-built home completed in 2017, sits positioned so that kitchen windows frame moving water and shifting light across Barton Creek. Three bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath distribute across 3,400 square feet, with multiple living areas that blur the distinction between interior and exterior. The primary bedroom anchors the main floor. A Heatilator fireplace anchors the living space with the kind of vintage appeal that modern construction cannot replicate. Quartz counters, a gas cooktop, and a kitchen island create the functional center, while recessed lighting and wood flooring throughout maintain sight lines toward the creek. The soaking tub in the primary bath becomes a secondary vantage point for water views. Walk-in closets and ceiling fans throughout suggest thought toward daily living rather than showroom aesthetics.
The separate guesthouse, built in 2016 with one bedroom, one bath, and full kitchen, already operates on VRBO and Airbnb as an income-generating rental. A limestone fire pit sits in the landscaped yard near a mature peach tree and two younger companions. Wildlife sightings here include wild turkeys, foxes, and songbirds moving through the canopy. The property's rock outcroppings and level terrain provide a natural building envelope that preserves the land's character while offering an elevated site on the highest point for additional development with Hill Country views.
Dripping Springs ISD serves this address, with Dripping Springs Elementary, Dripping Springs Middle, and Dripping Springs High School anchoring the school district. A wildlife exemption keeps property taxes significantly lower than comparable acreage closer to Austin. The Fitzhugh Corridor location positions residents 20-25 minutes from downtown Austin, close enough for commuting yet far enough that Barton Creek remains the dominant sound rather than traffic noise.
This is the rare Austin property where water access, privacy, and financial flexibility converge at 2.69 million. The 791 per square foot valuation reflects land value, water frontage, and the working guesthouse already generating revenue. Fourteen days on market suggests serious buyers understand what waterfront seclusion costs.
