With a combination of woods and fields, hiking trails, a large pond, pergola, firepit with stone seating, and small orchard, this 36 acre gated private ranch is unique in that it is close in to downtown Austin with easy access from Loop 1/Mopac South. The large front porch is perfect for enjoying the birds, night frogs in the pond, and viewing the deer. There is also a detached outdoor entertaining area/carport, with lighting and electricity, for enjoying dinners, watching games, etc. Due to prolonged droughts in the area, the pond does not hold fish but does hold lots of frogs for the kids to catch and provides a source of water for area wildlife. Privacy is also accessed through the design of this home, which we built just a few years ago. It is modeled after a Texas deer camp in a U shape, featuring a central main house with two separate bunkhouses, one to the left and one to the right of the main house, that are 12 feet away and all 3 buildings share a long, covered porch and roof. There are 2 roomy bedroom suites in one of the 2 bunkhouses and one roomy suite in the second bunkhouse. Each bedroom measures 21 x 18’. In total, 3 bedroom suites are detached from the main house with a total of 5 king beds and 1 sofa. Each bedroom has its own private bath with plush towels, AC/heating controls for individual comfort for each room, sun blocking drapes, and one (or two) king beds and/or sofas. Every room has its own tv with streaming satellite service and a mini fridge on the built in desk for water or beverages since it is 12 feet from the main house. Each bedroom’s built in desk with seating allows you to access your laptop in comfort. This house design affords family and friends togetherness time when you choose in the main house and on the porches and then private downtime in your bunkhouse just a few steps away. Our home place is only minutes from Belterra Village shopping, restaurants, a movie theatre, several beer and vodka breweries, an olive orchard, swimming holes, hill country vineyards and wineries and only 25 minutes to Sixth Street in downtown Austin. There are touring limos that visit the local vineyards and wineries. All you need to do is Google them to book a trip. Our living area in the main house has two leather reclining sofas and a 70” large screen HD television. Open to the living room is the kitchen which features quartz countertops and a 6 burner Wolf range, along with 4 stools at the island. Ceilings are 11'. There is a Ninja Coffee Bar coffeemaker for grounds or Kcups. There is also a coffee grinder for beans. There are two ovens in the kitchen along with everything you need to prepare a meal. As your host is also a chef, there is a large variety of pots and pans along with most any other utensil needed to make a delicious meal with your family or friends. There is also a laundry room with an LG washer and dryer along with detergent. We are serious about your sleeping comfort and have been told that the beds are very comfortable. The sheets are high thread count. Each mattress and each pillow has a protective wrap ensuring cleanliness, also. We are clean freaks and work hard to make sure this place is ready for your visit. In addition to our efforts, we also have a professional service come in to clean prior to your arrival. Wildlife is abundant on our ranch, particularly birds and deer. We would invite you to enjoy the fire pit outdoors under a vast Texas sky and roast hotdogs or make s’mores with the wood and roasting forks provided. There is a lovely small orchard at the opposite side of the yard with roses, peach, nectarine, apple, pear, and plum trees. It is fenced to keep the deer from treating it like a buffet. If you venture in there, please close the gate behind you and keep it closed or deer will find there way in there. You can also enjoy a walk in the morning or evening on the trails and in the meadows. The property measures a half mile from the front gate to the rear fencing with plenty of room to walk laps, if you choose. There is also a golf wedge range and hitting mat. You will have to supply your own golf balls, but we will supply a shag bag to help you retrieve them. There is also a basketball goal over the concrete driveway, so there is plenty of room for getting your game on! The window of each bedroom looks out over the pond, orchard and fields. It is a lovely view to wake up to seeing the deer at the feeder across from the pond and all the wildlife coming to the pond for a morning drink of water. The front yard also has bird feeders for those who love bird watching and listening to all the song birds. We truly want your visit to be wonderful and will do all we can to ensure that it is. If there is something special you would like, we will do our best to accommodate you. Thank you for looking at our listing and we hope you will choose us. Thank you!

The property is beautiful. The three bedrooms were spacious with a full bathroom in each. The main house had plenty of space with a half bathroom as well, and everything was well-appointed. The place had everything we needed, from any pot or pan we may have needed, laundry detergent, plenty of napkins and toilet paper, some wood to build fires, etc. There is plenty of space to walk around and explore, and the feeders had the wildlife come out every morning. It was relaxing to sip coffee and watch the birds come and go as well. Overall a comfortable stay. Clean property with plenty of space for 10 people. ##### Alex A.

Each of the bedrooms has a spacious and update bathroom as well as a mini-fridge for a midnight snack. The common areas are also well appointed with 2 ovens and a Wolf gas range. The TV is huge and seating is ample and comfortable. The inside of this home is nice but outside is even better. There is a pond and several nature trails, bird feeders everywhere, and an elevated tee box for a marked driving range. Location is also perfect. It's close to Salt Lick BBQ and the Desert Door Distillery. We were in the area for a wedding in Dripping Springs and it was less than 15 minutes to the center of town. Great hosts, great property, great location! ##### John K.

We had 6 adults and one 7 year old child. The set-up of this home (a main home with several individual suites) worked beautifully for us. With the individual suites and main gathering home, there was as much privacy and quiet space as wanted, or not, by each individual. All necessary amenities were available. Appliances were top of the line along with a beautifully designed and appointed kitchen. The property was spotless on arrival, easy to find and access. The beds were very comfortable. The grounds were manicured and beautiful, especially at night due to the lighting. While we did not utilize outdoor grills, they were available. The owner reached out to make sure all was going well and we found everything we needed. We highly recommend this property. ##### Stacie T.

We had 8 adults in our group and had plenty of space and privacy, each couple had a private bedroom and bathroom. The bedrooms had a mini dorm fridge which had bottled water and a little bowl of snacks on top. We really appreciated all the extra amenities in the house. The common area in the main house had a large living and kitchen area, perfect for our morning breakfast. The kitchen is a cooks dream! The outdoors were so glorious that we spent most of our time around the campfire at night laughing and telling stories. During the day we moved under the covered porches to watch the deer, magnificent! There is a pet deer that came to visit throughout the day and night named T Boy. what a gentle little guy! The owners take a lot of pride in their rental. It was very clean and I would highly recommend this property to any group of travelers. Thank you Leo for a wonderful weekend in the country! ##### Betty K. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill W., Wylie 10 Jul 2018 #### Absolutely amazing VRBO!!! I can't speak highly enough about this house. I'd give it a higher rating, if it were an option! We had a party of 8 to include grandparents and teenagers (celebrated a 17th birthday) and we couldn't have picked a more perfect place. We LOVED the concept of having the main house and then 4 individual suites each with their own bathroom (we had 6 girls total). The house had everything you need to cook or grill. Tons of pots and pans and kitchen appliances. The hosts were SUPER easy to work with, friendly and very responsive before and throughout our stay. Very easy access to the house and had very clear instructions on how to use things. Loved the special touch of having waters and snacks in each bedrooms. Beds were all super comfortable - we literally felt right at home. However, I think the most amazing feature about this house was the peaceful setting. We were touring college campuses, the city, etc. and have very busy lives when at home, and it was so nice and very relaxing to come back to the house and have total peace and quiet while watching the deer across the pond. They have two rocking chairs on the front porch that overlook the pond and that quickly became my favorite place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Not to mention the deer literally come into the yard when you'd least expect them. Simply spectacular! Again, we had nothing but a positive experience with this house - and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone visiting the Austin area. We were a little further out than we originally wanted to be, but it is definitely worth the few extra minutes in the car. ##### Jill W.

The spacious grounds and pretty views were so enjoyable. The individual cabin type set up was perfect for our group of friends. It was nice to have the space for everyone to go to bed when they wanted to without being bothered by noise from those staying up. The main house has a fabulous kitchen and everything you could possibly need. Close proximity to the distillery tour was perfect . Thanks for everything! Also, we never ran out of hot water with all of us trying to get ready to go out for the day. ##### Lisa L.

The house and property, we're amazing. Perfect for 3 families with kids to relax in and explore. The purpose of the trip was to visit with friends and see the 2024 eclipse. The eclipse was an amazing experience, but even without it our stay would have been perfect. For families with kids the sleeping rooms are separated from the main part of the house, connected by an outside porch. This made putting the kids to bed a breeze and allowed for the adults to enjoy time together without worrying about waking up the kids. 100% would recommend staying here! ##### Kristopher W.

The accommodations are very clean and extremely comfortable. Leo is a top-notch host as he responds quickly to any and all questions and checks to be sure all is well during the stay. We have found our stays to be very calm and peaceful. This is most definitely a family favorite and will book again should we return to the area next year. ##### Theresa F.

We were a multigenerational family in town for a wedding. The property itself is exactly as the pictures show, and even better in person. We had a very relaxing long weekend and wish we could have stayed longer. We walked the trail around the property and saw 3 deer (who visited us again the next morning). The kids (and adults) spent a lot of time out on the huge deck watching the turtles in the pond. We didn’t cook, but I’ve never seen a better stocked kitchen. The small fridges in each room stocked with water was a nice surprise. The house was conveniently located to everything. We had a couple great dinners at Salt Lick BBQ and Flores’ Mexican Restaurant and were close to an HEB for everything else. We all hope to return soon! ##### Kerry S.

The single bedroom that was advertised in the same bunker as the kitchen was locked, but there was still plenty of space for all of us! Would definitely book again!! ##### Lathan R.
