The Hummingbird Casita- A peaceful and romantic architectural gem
This unique, custom-built casita sits on six secluded acres in the Texas Hill Country, nestled in a grove of trees between Austin (25 minutes) and Dripping Springs (15 minutes). Ideal for a peaceful escape or exploring local wineries, distilleries, breweries, wedding venues, and outdoor attractions, the casita offers both privacy and proximity.

Thoughtfully curated art adds warmth throughout. The living room includes a cozy couch, 40” HDTV with cable, stereo system, DVD/CD player, and a work desk. High-speed internet (350+ Mbps) is provided. The romantic bedroom has an organic Naturepedic king bed with countryside views, room darkening curtains, a walk-in closet, and soft robes.
