Property Description
Set on a sprawling 2.5-acre estate, this extraordinary property combines modern sustainability, abundant wildlife, and elegant design to create a one-of-a-kind retreat. The **main residence spans 1,819 sq. ft.**, featuring 2 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light streaming through thoughtfully placed windows. The **gourmet kitchen**, completed in 2022, is a chef's dream.
Embodying the pinnacle of self-sufficiency, the home is powered by 30 solar panels, an 18kWh inverter, and two backup batteries, with optional PEC connectivity. The **innovative roof system** collects water for a 10,000-gallon cistern purified with UV light, delivering fresh, crisp water. (For those seeking city water, connection is available in the **Village of Bear Creek** for an additional setup cost.)
Just across the breezeway lies the Casita, a private retreat with a full bath, kitchenette, and bedroom—ideal for guests or as a potential income-producing space.
Outdoor living is redefined with a **covered pergola equipped with WiFi, Bluetooth sound system, and a weatherproof 50” TV**. Host memorable gatherings around the fire pit and BBQ area, or bask in the serenity of the composite redwood deck—perfect for peaceful moments of stargazing.
Practical amenities include a **carport with a 50-amp hookup**, an insulated shed with electricity, and ample space to expand—imagine adding more structures or your dream pool.
Conveniently located close to city amenities yet offering complete privacy, this home is part of the **Village of Bear Creek**, known for its lower tax rate**. Additionally, it falls within the highly sought-after **Dripping Springs ISD**, making it the perfect blend of comfort and practicality.
