7601 Nez Perce TRCE, Manor, TX 78653

Set behind a gated entry and fully fenced across five scenic acres, this beautifully remodeled estate offers privacy, versatility, and close proximity to Austin’s rapidly expanding tech corridor. The property functions as a private compound featuring a spacious main residence, income-producing guest home, multiple workshops and garages, and a stocked fishing pond. The 3,060-square-foot main home (built in 1985) includes 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a loft, dining area, fireplace, and attached two-car garage. Recent improvements include a metal roof (2019), whole-house water softener, double septic switch system, and new water heaters. A 980-square-foot guest home built in 2010 offers 1 BR, 1 BA, full kitchen, screened patio, separate metering, and water filtration system, creating excellent flexibility for extended family or rental income.

Five acres of gated privacy on Nez Perce Trace in Hornsby Bend positions this Manor estate as a rare compound opportunity just minutes from Austin's tech employment centers and the Del Valle ISD school district. The main residence spans 4,032 square feet across a thoughtfully designed layout that separates entertainment from private retreat spaces. A gated entry leads through mature native trees and landscaped grounds to a home that anchors this five-acre holding with genuine architectural substance.

The primary entertaining floor opens through multiple living areas with vaulted and beamed ceilings that draw light across wood and tile flooring. The kitchen features a substantial island, eat-in dining, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, and pantry storage designed for families who actually cook. A fireplace serves as a natural gathering point between these main zones. Solar tubes and recessed lighting provide flexibility to the interior environment without architectural compromise.

The master suite occupies the main floor with a walk-in closet and en-suite featuring a soaking tub and double vanity. Three additional bedrooms and a flex loft provide options for guest suites, offices, or family expansion. Throughout the 1985-built frame and stone construction, recent systems upgrades include a 2019 metal roof, whole-house water softener (owned), dual water heaters, and double septic switches that speak to deliberate maintenance rather than deferred problems.

The grounds justify the acreage. A screened rear porch opens to a private yard with multiple decks and patios for outdoor entertaining. An arbor structures the landscape while gardens and large native trees create visual screens between the main home and surrounding property. A separate guest residence built in 2010 adds 980 square feet with a complete kitchen, 1 bed, 1 bath, and screened patio on independent utilities and metering.

At $285 per square foot for the primary residence alone, this property delivers the infrastructure and land mass required for families seeking distance from urban density while remaining within commute range of employers along Tech Ridge and the corridors near State Highway 290. The combination of gated security, outbuilding versatility, and established grounds creates the kind of legacy property that improves over time rather than demands constant updating.
