Property Description
Space, freedom, and unmatched versatility-this is Hill Country living on your terms. Set on 3.4 acres in the highly sought-after Smokey Mountain Oaks community, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own usable land paired with incredible improvements-perfect for those who need room to live, work, create, and entertain. The grounds are thoughtfully laid out to maximize both function and lifestyle. A standout feature is the impressive 40x50 workshop, offering endless possibilities for business use, hobbies, or storage. Complementing this is a 30x40 covered parking structure, ideal for RVs, equipment, or recreational vehicles. A detached 2-car garage has been transformed into a custom pool hall, creating a unique, ready-made entertainment space, while the attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience. The property is further equipped with a whole house generator, its own septic system and water system, providing independence and long-term practicality. Surrounded by mature trees and open space, the setting delivers privacy, flexibility, and the kind of breathing room that's increasingly hard to find near Austin. At the center of it all sits a thoughtfully designed residence offering 3 bed, 2 bath, and a dedicated home office. Inside, the layout is both comfortable and functional, with light-filled living spaces and a natural flow that makes everyday living feel effortless. Large windows frame views of the surrounding acreage, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Outdoor living is just as compelling, with a spacious deck and covered areas that invite you to relax, entertain, and take in the quiet beauty of the Hill Country. Located just outside of Austin, this property offers the perfect balance of accessibility and escape-close enough for convenience, yet far enough to feel like your own private retreat. Opportunities like this are rare-where land, improvements, and lifestyle come together to create something truly exceptional.
