2509 Lipizzan Dr, Austin, TX 78732

Property highlights begin with the proximity to the neighborhood elementary and middle school and get better when you step outside and enter your backyard oasis with a swimming pool, hot tub, and seating area under the arbor. This Steiner Ranch two-story home located in Shire Ridge features a lower-level floor plan with a dedicated workspace and flex space currently set as a dining room. The kitchen opens up to a spacious gathering room with a fireplace. Because there's enough space for a large table in the kitchen’s dining area, the room currently set up as a formal dining room could be an additional dedicated workspace or flex room. The owner’s suite offers a view of the peaceful backyard. The owner’s bath has dual vanities, a large garden tub, a separate shower with frameless glass, and spacious his and her closets. Make your way up to the second level that includes an open game room and enclosed media room. There's a bedroom with a full bathroom and two additional bedrooms that share a full bathroom. There are a total of four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one-half bathroom. When you make your way to the backyard, it will feel like your private resort surrounded by lush landscaping. The east-facing backyard will provide plenty of shade during the Texas summers. There's no shortage of space inside, and the three-car garage will take care of your vehicles and additional storage needs. Make it yours.

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.
