3605 Sandoval Ct, Austin, TX 78732

Sometimes you have to choose between a spacious home or a great yard, but this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in Steiner Ranch, tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac, offers both. Inside, the unique and versatile floor plan provides a layout you can personalize. The main level includes a dedicated office or playroom, alongside a formal dining area and a front living room. A short set of stairs leads you into the heart of the home, where the kitchen and breakfast area overlook the family room. The kitchen itself features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a wet bar with a wine fridge and stainless appliances complemented by a large pantry for extra storage. With two separate living areas and two dining rooms, the home offers a sense of space that adapts to any occasion. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the same level. The primary suite offers a generous footprint and a remodeled bathroom with dual vanities and a deep jetted garden tub. Additional bathrooms have been tastefully updated, and secondary bedrooms offer generous space for family or guests. The backyard is a standout feature. Situated on a pie-shaped lot, the yard expands outward to create a wide, usable outdoor space rarely found in the neighborhood. The covered patio overlooks a large, level lawn designed for both relaxation and recreation, with features such as raised garden beds, fruit trees, and plenty of room to add a pool or additional outdoor amenities. Living in Steiner Ranch means enjoying a true lifestyle community, with access to resort-style pools, parks, pickleball courts, playgrounds, miles of hiking and biking trails, and a private Lake Austin waterfront Lake Club.

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.
