Property Description
Set on 2.356 peaceful acres just 20 minutes from downtown, this property provides the perfect balance of country-style living with city convenience. Nestled in the serene landscape of Southwest Austin, 8705 South View offers a rare blend of comfort, flexibility, and potential. The 2,450 sq. ft. single-family home sits toward the front of the property, accessed by a circular driveway and framed by mature trees. Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office/playroom, and a spacious kitchen with a large island that flows into the dining and living areas-ideal for family life or entertaining. A recently remodeled primary suite bathroom, functional mudroom, and fenced-in yard add comfort and convenience. A standout feature is the 46' x 60' insulated workshop, equipped with 14' walls, a 12' overhead door for RV storage, multiple 220v outlets, and a large air compressor (conveys). Attached to the workshop is an unfinished one-bedroom apartment with a bathroom-offering serious potential as a guest suite, rental, studio, or home business space. Two separate driveways provide convenient access to different parts of the property, allowing for privacy and versatility-whether for personal use, work, or income-generating opportunities. Mature trees throughout the property offer natural shade, beauty, and privacy, creating a welcoming environment for both relaxation and productivity.
