Map & Owner's Profile
Austin City Limits - by 7000 Acre Hill Country Preserve-Pool!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Other Austin Properties
We love the peaceful hill country setting only 20 minutes from our house in central Austin. The Texas Hill County is a beautiful, different world. We discover wineries, lavendar and peach farms, outdoor markets, nature areas and hidden treasures every time we visit.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home, only minutes away from downtown Austin, allows you to enjoy the energy of Austin's vibrant music scene and night life; and the quiet solitude of country living. Sitting on the back patio, sipping a glass of wine from a nearby Texas winery(our gift to you),listening to the music of the chimes and watching the multitude of birds is the best way to unwind from life's stressors. We cherish our time here as will you.

Beautiful!

This is a beautiful home in a very quiet setting. The outside space was so relaxing. We used this house for our family when we can to Austin for a wedding. We enjoyed it very much. The third bedroom is quite small and really only accommodates one person, although there is lots of space in the living room as well. The owners were extremely helpful and provided all the information that we needed. We would definitely use this property again if the need arises and would recommend this property to our friends.
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate that our guests are enjoying the serenity and beauty of our home. Just a comment about the third bedroom: we did convert it into a very functional office/den with all the amenities of both, bookcase, desk, computer, desk, printer, and fold out bed. Therefore, the person staying in that room will have less bedroom space but more work space. We pride ourselves in offering a peaceful and practical home away from home for our guests. Best, Morrie and Rachel

Perfect Hideaway

My daughter and I visited Austin for the first time to visit our soldier son on leave from Ft. Hood. We took a chance on the relatively remote location [20 - 30 minutes from downtown in traffic] and we were richly rewarded. The home is architecturally pleasing and the furnishings are tasteful and one of a kind. All amenities were included and a serious bonus for us was a newly installed in-ground pool with a limestone terrace. The temperature was hot throughout our stay so we used the pool every day. If our son remains in the Ft. Hood area, we hope to re-visit the home often.
Owner response:We appreciate your kind words. We are especially happy to provide a respite for those in the military. Thanks to your son and all who serve!

A wonderful place to stay, and the peaceful surroundings were fabulous. There were also many great wineries, restaurants and interesting places to explore. The owners were very accomodating and I could not have been any happier. I highly recommend this special place!
Owner response:We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We wish you had stayed long enough to see the new pool! We hope you can return to enjoy it.

My husband and I chose to share our vacation with our children near an area that offered entertainment. We wanted to be located near Austin and chose the property #188252. When we entered the home we were delighted with the home. It was further away from Austin than we anticipated but the trade off was delightful privacy and an intimate interaction with nature. The house was wonderful and very comfortable with a great layout. There was construction for a new pool in the back yard which we found to be quite interesting and to the excitement our visit {we were notified of this before our arrival and realized it would not affect our stay in any way}. The property/house was clean and very well maintain, its' location quiet,serene and peaceful. The owners were very helpful with any questions as well as keeping us abreast of any changes or concerns. They could not have been more accommodating I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
Owner response:We were reluctant to rent our house while we were building a pool, so we are delighted to hear that the construction did not interfere with the peaceful setting. We feel great when our guests appreciate our place as much as we do. The pool looks fabulous and, along with the shady area behind the house, provides a respite from the heat this summer. We'll post pictures soon!
