2521 Lipizzan Dr, Austin, TX 78732

Set in the Shire Ridge section of Steiner Ranch, 2521 Lipizzan Dr sits on the largest lot on the street, giving buyers a backyard and side yard combination not found elsewhere on the block. The floor plan features a dedicated office and upstairs flex space offering the option to convert to a fifth bedroom, depending on what the household needs. High ceilings greet you at the entry, opening into a formal dining room and an open kitchen with a breakfast nook, built for hosting whether that is a weeknight dinner or a full house on game day. A covered patio off the living room extends the living space outdoors, and a dedicated laundry room and pantry round out the main floor. The primary suite sits on the main level, with wide windows framing the yard beyond. Upstairs, three secondary bedrooms share the floor with a sitting room and a generous game room that works as a media room, playroom, or extra storage, adding real square footage to work with. The large garage offers more parking and storage capacity than a typical two-car layout. Shire Ridge sits within Steiner Ranch, a 4,600-acre master-planned community zoned to Leander ISD, including Vandegrift High School. Residents have access to three community centers with pools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and parks, plus more than 20 miles of hiking and biking trails. The private residents' Lake Club provides direct access to Lake Austin, and the University of Texas Golf Club sits nearby for golfers who want a round close to home.

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.
