About This Home
Discover an exceptional opportunity at 4416 Stearns Lane, a nearly one-acre, flat, buildable homesite tucked into one of South Austin’s most coveted enclaves. Spanning approximately 138' x 326', this .9893-acre, heavily treed lot offers remarkable privacy and the freedom of no HOA, making it an ideal canvas for a custom residence tailored to your vision.
With the Barton Creek Greenbelt directly behind the property, you’ll enjoy no neighbors to the rear and serene, nature-filled views. Step onto the Violet Crown Trail and bike all the way to downtown, or explore miles of lush trail systems just beyond your fence line. Mature trees and uninterrupted greenbelt surroundings frame the homesite with a sense of calm and possibility.
Existing improvements include a 3–4 car garage with generous workspace, three garage doors, and a pass-through center bay with doors on both sides—an ideal setup for storage, hobbies, or future reimagining.
A versatile studio structure (approximately 800 sq ft) expands the property’s potential even further. Complete with a full kitchen, full bath, and open, airy layout, it offers a flexible environment for a home office, creative studio, guest space, or future accessory dwelling.
Whether you envision a modern compound beneath the oaks or a quiet sanctuary minutes from the city, 4416 Stearns Lane offers the space, flexibility, and location to bring your vision to life.
A flat, buildable 0.9893-acre homesite with greenbelt at the rear is the core value at 4416 Stearns Ln. In Austin, within Austin ISD and assigned to Oak Hill Elementary, this is a rare land-driven opportunity in 78735 where privacy, usable topography, and school path matter more than cosmetic presentation.
The lot measures approximately 138 feet by 326 feet, which gives a buyer real flexibility in how to think about siting, setbacks, outdoor space, and future design. It is heavily treed, but the important point is that it remains buildable and usable at nearly one acre, a combination that is not easy to find in close-in Austin submarkets. The absence of an HOA adds another layer of control for an owner who wants to shape the property around a specific program rather than around neighborhood restrictions. With the Barton Creek Greenbelt directly behind the site, the rear boundary carries a level of separation that is difficult to replicate through lot size alone. No rear neighbors changes how a property lives and how it holds long-term appeal.
The existing improvements expand the decision set. There is a 3 to 4 car garage with substantial workspace, three garage doors, and a pass-through center bay with doors on both sides. There is also an approximately 800 square foot studio with a full kitchen, full bath, and open layout. For a buyer evaluating land first, those structures can support storage, work, guest use, or interim occupancy while a larger plan takes shape. That matters because it allows the site to function now while preserving its upside as a future custom build.
The greenbelt setting also ties directly into daily use. The Violet Crown Trail is accessible from the property, adding a practical outdoor connection rather than a decorative amenity line. At $1.05 million and 29 days on market, this is not simply a generic lot offering. It is a nearly one-acre tract in Travis County with a clear school path through Austin ISD, a defined build envelope, no HOA, and rear greenbelt adjacency. Buyers who understand the Austin luxury land market will see 4416 Stearns Ln for what it is: a scarce 78735 position with enough flexibility to support both immediate utility and long-term value creation.
