201 Santaluz Ln, Austin, TX 78732

**We received interest in a pool design. This is a large resort style infinity edge pool.  Modifications can be made if desired.  Cost estimate $200,000.  To be completed by Apr/May 2022 and built by Da Vinci Pools.** Meet this modern updated one-of-a kind privately gated estate.  This hidden gem is truly unique, located in the gated Santaluz neighborhood of Steiner Ranch and conveniently located within walking distance from exemplary schools.  It is a privately gated ‘surprise’ at the end of the street, surrounded by greenbelt on three sides, and boasting expansive views of the Balcones Preserve, reaching for miles, thoroughly enjoyable from the large covered back porch.  The entire lawn both front and back are perfectly landscaped, surrounded by many mature live oak trees, including a grand legacy oak tree that towers right outside the great room window.  The grass, Zeon Zoysia, is a beautiful fine textured barefoot lawn grass ranked #1 in turf quality and chosen for the 2016 Olympics.  Zeon’s low water use, low fertilizer requirements, and shade tolerance makes it environmentally friendly as well.  The interior also boasts many fine and unique upgraded details.   As you walk into this beautiful house, you are greeted by it’s statement setting, an oversized Cantera Iron door.  Then you step onto beautifully hand scraped hardwood floors, followed by grand high beamed ceilings letting you know this house is special.  The kitchen is definitely a chef’s delight! Features include two ovens, a walk-in pantry and expansive furniture grade cabinets that extend all the way into the breakfast area. This open floor plan house is a two story, but it lives like a single story with four bedrooms/four full baths, plus media room downstairs, and a private, one bedroom/full bath and game room upstairs.  The entire house (interior/exterior) has just been freshly painted, with new carpet throughout and a three car garage with epoxy flooring.

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.
