Scale is the first thing that separates 238 W Overlook Mountain Rd: 2.266 acres in Buda with a 3,872 square foot single-family residence, a pool, and a three-car garage in Buda. At $1.02M, or $265 per square foot, this is a property where land, house size, and outdoor infrastructure all matter to the value equation. The setting also carries a practical advantage for buyers who weigh school path alongside acreage, with HaysCONSISD and Johnson High School in the profile, along with Carpenter Hill and Eric Dahlstrom.

Built in 2011, the house is configured with five bedrooms and three baths, a layout that gives it real flexibility for full-time living, multigenerational use, or a buyer who needs dedicated work and recreation space under one roof. The interior is described around volume and visibility rather than decoration, with high ceilings, broad window walls, and an open plan that connects the kitchen to multiple living and dining areas. That matters because homes on acreage can sometimes trade function for footprint. Here, the value is in having both. The main level primary suite is positioned as a true retreat, and the upper level appears to extend the home’s usefulness with additional bedrooms, a secondary living area now used as an office, and a large media or game room.

Outside, the land is not incidental. A private drive, mature trees, full fencing, and greenbelt adjacency change how the 2.266 acres actually live day to day, creating separation and privacy that buyers in this price band often want but do not always find. The pool, cabana, covered patio with substantial seating capacity, and stone fire pit push the property beyond a standard backyard setup and into true entertaining territory. Two fireplaces reinforce that indoor-outdoor orientation and give the house year-round utility.

Six days on market also matters. Fresh inventory with this mix of acreage, pool infrastructure, bedroom count, and school alignment tends to get evaluated quickly because each element supports long-term usability. For a buyer looking in Hays County for space, privacy, and a house that can handle both daily life and large-format hosting, this property is positioned as a durable hold rather than a short-term compromise.
