Santa Barbara meets the hill country with stunning views and lots of privacy in this upscale and gated section of Barton Creek. Situated on an optimum .7 acre lot that sits in the bend of the cul-de-sac and backs to the greenbelt, you can enjoy hill country views and the utmost privacy. Light, open and airy the windows front and back invite the outside in where residents can enjoy views of the pool and spa, patios and hill country from almost every room of the home. The kitchen is the heart of the home with miles of counterspace, double oven, commercial grade gas cooktop, warming drawer, built in refrigerator and pendant as well as under counter lighting. Open to the living room and steps away from the pool and patio, it is the perfect place for people to gather. For those who love to entertain, the dining room and living area are seamless with room for an extra large dining table or additional living space. The primary bedroom is located at the back of the home for maximum privacy and has a closet that is the envy of all who see it. On the other side of the home, there is another spacious bedroom with adjacent bath that make a great space for a guest room or another office space, as it has a terrific view.

Upstairs, there are two very large bedrooms, two baths and a large game room with enormous storage closet. Excellent location close to the Barton Creek Country Club with a social membership that conveys with the deed. Mandatory dues to the club are $373.46 per month and in addition to the quarterly HOA fees. Easy access to downtown, the Barton Creek greenbelt, Lake Austin, shopping, restaurants and some excellent private schools. Washer, dryer and refrigerator in the garage convey.

Barton Creek is Austin's premier golf community in 78735 - four championship courses thread through eight gated villages, twenty minutes from downtown. Median home price around $2.95M, with custom estates ranging from $1.2M patio homes to $6M+ golf-course frontage properties. Austin ISD schools.

Turn off Bee Caves Road and the Hill Country opens up - limestone ridges, old-growth oaks, fairways disappearing into canyons. Fazio Foothills (Tom Fazio's 1986 original at 7,087 yards) is the signature course, with Fazio Canyons and Coore Crenshaw offering different character. The Omni Barton Creek Resort anchors the community with spa, pools, dining, and member events.

Eight gated sections each have distinct character: Amarra Drive for new-build contemporary estates ($3M-$6M+), The Preserve for Hill Country views and privacy, Wimberly Lane for established homes with mature landscaping. HOA governance varies by section - some enforce architectural review strictly, others are lighter touch.

The buyer profile skews toward avid golfers (40% of purchases), families choosing Austin ISD, and C-suite executives who need estate-level privacy 20 minutes from downtown. The Greenbelt borders the western edge, and Sculpture Falls is accessible from within the community.
