About This Home
Bring your buyers we have INTEREST RATE BUY DOWN INCENTIVES! Discover the perfect blend of secluded country living and sophisticated custom design in this stunning 2,833 sq. ft. estate. Nestled on a lush 1.01-acre lot in the sought-after Salado area, this home offers a rare combination of private tranquility and effortless accessibility. The exterior makes a commanding first impression with a timeless blend of stucco and stone. Inside, the beautifully thought-out floor plan features 4 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, designed with both high-end entertaining and daily comfort in mind. Every inch of the interior reflects a commitment to quality, offering a seamless flow and high-end finishes that set this custom build apart from the rest. For the hobbyist or entrepreneur, the property features a substantial detached 900 sqft shop. Fully equipped with both power, water and sewer, this versatile space is ready for your next project, car collection, or endless storage. Enjoy the best of Central Texas living. While the property feels like a private retreat, you are only minutes away from the charm of historic Salado. Immediate access to I-35 ensures a smooth drive to Austin or Fort Hood. Spend your weekends exploring local boutiques and historic landmarks, then retreat to your peaceful acre of Texas land.
Built in 2024, 979 Inka Road sits on over an acre in the Salado subdivision with zero punch list items waiting for you. The 2,833 square foot home is fully finished with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range already installed. Coffered ceilings, recessed lighting, and an open floor plan flow naturally through the main level, where the primary bedroom sits steps away from the kitchen and common areas. Three full bathrooms plus a half bath serve the four bedrooms, with walk-in closets and built-in storage throughout. The home wired for high-speed internet and data means your home office setup goes straight to your desk, not a contractor's to-do list.
The kitchen sits at the center with an island, pantry, and stainless steel suite that handles everyday cooking without apology. Tile flooring runs through living spaces designed for families who need both gathering spots and breathing room. A coffered ceiling detail anchors the main living area while ceiling fans keep air moving through the high-volume spaces. The in-law floor plan option gives you flexibility for guest suites or multigenerational living without sacrificing your own privacy.
Outside, a covered porch wraps the home, and the patio area extends into the 1.011-acre lot with mature landscaping that softens the landscape. The three-car garage sits ready for vehicles and gear, while a gray water system handles the irrigation efficiently. The property is also wired with full gutters, protecting the envelope during Salado's spring rains.
Salado ISD serves the property, with Thomas Arnold Elementary, Salado Middle School, and Salado High School anchoring the district. The location splits the difference between Hill Country seclusion and corridor convenience. Interstate 35 access minutes north puts downtown Austin, Fort Hood, and the Round Rock tech corridor within reasonable commute range. Historic downtown Salado sits close enough for weekend restaurants and shopping, but far enough away that you live on your own terms.
At $270 per square foot for a brand-new home on an acre with zero renovation debt, 979 Inka Road is ready for immediate occupancy. Move your furniture in and start living the Salado lifestyle now.
