About this property

Whispering Oaks Estate with Pool/Fire Pit on 10 Acres

Situated on 10 gorgeous hill country acres, this property presents a stunning impression. Consisting of Main House (8/5) and Guest House (2/2) with custom moldings, soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors and massive walls of arch-topped windows. Living areas are bright and spacious.

Classic dormers and a full-length French balcony capture the eye and hold it, all the way down the tree-lined circular drive. One is greeted in the foyer by custom fluted door moldings, tall ceilings and a graceful staircase with iron-spindle balusters. Centered by a broad fireplace and built-in cabinetry, the handsome family room features a brilliant stand of windows that offer tranquil views of the backyard landscape and pool. The adjacent formal dining room is accented by an arched window and an iron chandelier that suspends from a 10’ ceiling.

The efficient and well-equipped kitchen features quarts tops, stainless-steel appliances that includes dual ovens, a beverage cooler and a six-burner gas stove. Enjoy relaxing views of the backyard and pool from the sun-filled breakfast room.

Bright with natural sunlight, the primary suite is a quiet escape from the main living area. It has private access to the covered patio and pool. The primary bath has dual vanities, a jet tub, frame less glass shower and an walk-in closet with built-in drawers. The main floor also holds a second guest bedroom. The upstairs has four bedrooms as well as a bonus sitting area with a work station. A secondary staircase located by the kitchen leads up to another bedroom and a bonus room that has 2 queen beds with a separate bedroom off of it.

In addition to the main house there is a guest house with a covered front porch with views of the backyard, pool and cabana. The guest house has a sizable living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen and laundry room.

The home’s sprawling park-like grounds are punctuated with hardwood, elm and native oak trees. Water-efficient plants and child-safe wrought-iron fencing surround a pool with a hot tub and a poolside cabana with twin wide-screen TV’s.

The Hill country offers terrific wedding venues, Winery tours, Brewery tours, Distillery Tours and small town ambiance. While Austin has all the amenities a big city has to offer, plus great music festivals such as ACL , SXSW and the 360 Amphitheater has the biggest musical acts in the business.

Family wedding guests
We had an amazing time at Whispering Oaks. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed to spend some quality time with family members who came from far and near to celebrate our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding.

2023 Family Reunion
We gathered for our family reunion from near and far! The house and property were so welcoming! There was ample space for everyone to relax and renew. We had a wonderful time reminiscing about old days and creating new memories! We hope to gather again in the “Gateway to the Texas Hill Country” and this home would be our first choice! Thank you J & D + J & P!!!

Perfect Stay for the Perfect Wedding Weekend
My husband and I stayed here with our wedding party members during our wedding weekend in Driftwood. This property was perfect not only to accommodate our group of 20, but also to hold our welcome reception event for our guests the night before our wedding. When we arrived, Josh was super friendly and gave us a really thorough orientation of the property and all the features around. The house and casita were clean and spacious with a lot of rooms to easily hold a lot of us and hang out, so we were never really on top of each other despite our big group size. It was also nice how secluded the property was and expansive the backyard was. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to use the pool or hot tub, but the whole backyard setup was very cool and beautifully setup. The event space that was right next to the casita was a nice size and had the perfect bar area setup for us to have a great time on Wednesday night with the additional people we invited over for the welcome event. It was also nice that the garage doors could open to bring some cool air since there was a lot of people in one large room. Overall, we were very happy with this rental for the 3 nights we stayed there. Definitely a great spot for large groups to hangout and enjoy the charm of the hill country landscape.

About the host

Hosted by Josh & Porsha

Host profile image
Ourselves (Della and John) own a house in Spain and are usually there enjoying our retirement. Before we moved here we lived in Dripping Springs, TX where we worked as owners of a property management company consisting of mostly long term rentals. In 2017 we shifted our focus to Short Term Rentals(STRs) and sold the majority of our investment houses and turned the remaining home(s) into STRs which we manage with the help of our niece and newphew (Josh & Porsha).

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this property we knew we fell in love with it. We love the country feel yet it is so close to everything.

What makes this property unique

Great for a family reunion, company retreat, wedding or quiet weekend with that special someone. Far enough away but close to everything!

Austin
We are 25 minutes to Downtown Austin and 45 minutes the Circuit of the Americas.
35 to the main Airport (ABIA) AUS.

Dripping Springs has numerous wineries, wine bars, beer joints, breweries, restaurants and distilleries.

Driftwood is home to the original world famous Salt Lick BBQ and its only 5 minutes away and if you're looking for something unexpected the Trattoria Lisina has the most amazing Italian food you could ever hope for.

Wimberly is only 10 minutes away - great antique shops, eateries, wedding venues, wineries, and swimming hole.

Fredericksburg is only 40 minutes away - world renown shops, German food, petting zoos, wineries, breweries and tons of old town fun.

We are close to numerous wedding venues which makes us a great choice to have your big wedding and have your family stay in one location (in our home) instead of a bunch of hotel rooms spread across the city.
