A rare one-acre setup with two separate homes is what makes 7909 Orisha Dr stand out in Circle C Ranch. At 7909 Orisha Dr, you get 4,944 square feet built in 2017, six bedrooms, four full baths, one half bath, and a current ask of $2.45 million, or $496 per square foot, in Austin, TX 78739.

This is a Residential single family residence in Travis County, but it lives more like a private compound. The main home is single level and built for daily function, with open living, high ceilings, large windows, a dedicated office, and a game room that gives the floorplan real flexibility. The second home adds serious value. For buyers thinking about multigenerational living, long-term guests, live-in help, or a separate work space, that detached casita changes the conversation. You do not find that combination often in Southwest Austin, especially on a full acre inside an established neighborhood.

The lot backs to greenbelt, which matters here. It gives the heated saltwater pool, spa, and screened porch more privacy and a quieter feel than many luxury listings in this price range. The east-facing rear exposure is also practical in Austin. Summer evenings are more usable when the backyard avoids the full force of late-day sun. A three-car garage at the main house and an additional one-car garage at the guest house round out the utility.

From a location standpoint, Circle C Ranch remains one of the stronger lifestyle plays in 78739. You are close to Meridian Park Boulevard, SH 45, FM 1826, and quick connections to MoPac. HEB at Escarpment Village is roughly 5 minutes away, and Costco at William Cannon is typically about 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic. Circle C amenities, neighborhood trails, parks, and the private 10-acre lake add everyday value that goes beyond the lot line.

For schools, the property is in Austin ISD, with Baldwin Elementary, Gorzycki Middle School, and Bowie High School tied to the address in current listing sources. GreatSchools scores shown with the listing place Baldwin at 10/10, Gorzycki at 9/10, and Bowie at 8/10. With 104 days on market, buyers have time to evaluate the fit, but the core value is clear: this is a modern, hard-to-replicate property in one of Southwest Austin’s most established luxury pockets, and that kind of flexibility tends to age well.

Circle C Ranch has 3.2 miles of dedicated cycling trail that no car has ever been allowed to touch. The Veloway is a paved loop exclusively for cyclists and inline skaters, winding through Hill Country terrain on the southern edge of the neighborhood. It is the kind of amenity that sounds like a city planning fantasy but has been operating since 1992, and it tells you something important about what this community prioritizes: outdoor access, family infrastructure, and the kind of thoughtful planning that most master-planned neighborhoods only promise.

Circle C sits in southwest Austin in the 78739 zip code, roughly bounded by MoPac Expressway to the east, Slaughter Lane to the north, Escarpment Boulevard to the west, and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center to the south. Downtown Austin is about a 20-minute drive via MoPac. The Southwest Parkway provides a secondary route that connects to Highway 71 and the Hill Country corridor. The Escarpment Village shopping center at the neighborhood's edge handles most daily errands, and a second commercial cluster at William Cannon and MoPac adds more options. Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, and the Hill Country Galleria are all accessible within 15 to 20 minutes heading west.

The housing stock spans about four decades of development. The original phase of Circle C launched in 1986, and the Traditional Texas Suburban homes from that era through 2000 make up roughly 40 percent of the inventory. These are typically 2,000 to 3,500 square feet on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, with brick or stone exteriors and mature landscaping. Hill Country Contemporary homes built between 2000 and 2015 account for another 25 percent, bringing limestone accents, metal roofing, and more open floor plans. Newer production-builder sections from 2010 through 2022 add modern designs at a 20 percent share. Townhomes, patio homes, and a small number of custom estates round out the mix. Pricing runs from the mid $400s for older homes or townhomes to around $1.2 million for larger updated homes on premium lots. Circle C delivers strong value compared to Westlake or Barton Creek for families who want space and schools without the seven-figure entry point.

The neighborhood is served by Austin ISD, and the school situation is one of the primary reasons people move here. Clayton Elementary, Kiker Elementary, and Mills Elementary all serve different sections of the community, and each maintains strong parent involvement and academic performance. Small Middle School and Bowie High School handle the upper grades. Bowie is one of the larger high schools in Austin ISD but maintains a strong academic reputation, particularly in STEM programs and athletics. The combination of neighborhood-feel elementary schools and a well-resourced high school makes Circle C one of the most consistently popular family destinations in south Austin.

The daily routine in Circle C revolves around the outdoors. Morning runners and cyclists hit the Veloway or the Slaughter Creek Trail before work. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which sits at the southern tip of the neighborhood, provides 284 acres of native Texas landscape for walking, photography, and events. Grey Rock Golf Club offers a public course within the community. The Circle C Swim Center and community pool system stays busy from April through October. For dining, Keepers Coastal Kitchen and District Kitchen anchor the Escarpment Village corridor with sit-down options that have raised the local restaurant scene well beyond the chains that typically dominate master-planned neighborhoods. Oasthouse Kitchen and Jack Allen's Kitchen are both a short drive north. The Alamo Drafthouse on Slaughter Lane handles movie nights, and the Wildflower Center hosts seasonal festivals and concerts.

Circle C holds a distinct position in Austin's suburban market. It is less expensive than Westlake or Barton Creek but offers comparable school quality within Austin ISD rather than requiring the premium of Eanes or Lake Travis districts. Compared to Shady Hollow and Bauerle Ranch to the east, Circle C has better trail infrastructure and more neighborhood amenities. Compared to Belterra further southwest, it provides a significantly shorter commute and more established commercial options. The neighborhood competes most directly with Sendera and Legend Oaks on the south side, though Circle C's Veloway, Wildflower Center proximity, and deeper inventory give it an edge in the family market.

Circle C is the right choice for families who want genuine outdoor amenities and good Austin ISD schools without paying West Austin luxury prices. It works for dual-income households in southwest Austin's tech corridor, families who want neighborhood stability, and active adults who will use the trails and pool system. If your priority list starts with schools, outdoor access, and community, Circle C delivers on all three at a price point that still makes financial sense.
