Located on 4.89 acres within the gated community of Cielo Springs, this Hill Country estate offers privacy, space, and exceptional versatility just minutes from Downtown Blanco and Blanco State Park. The property includes two separate residences, expansive outdoor living areas, and multiple functional structures designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main home offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 4,457 sq ft of living space, with all bedrooms thoughtfully located on the main level. One of the bedrooms is currently used as an office and does not include a walk-in closet. Upstairs, a spacious game and media room with a full bathroom provides additional flexible living space and includes a projector and screen. The open floor plan features vaulted ceilings in the living area and flows seamlessly into the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, a large island, and an oversized breakfast bar. The oven is a brand-new slide-in unit (not built-in). The dining area is situated just off the kitchen. Each bedroom includes generous storage, with walk-in closets in all bedrooms except the office-converted fourth bedroom. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with glass doors that open to a small deck within the fenced backyard. The ensuite bath offers an oversized walk-in shower, garden-style soaking tub, dual vanities, custom cabinetry, and an additional vanity. All bathrooms throughout the home are full baths. Additional features include a water softener, two HVAC units serving the main house, two hot water heaters in the main home, custom laundry room shelving with a folding table, and a secure storage area beneath the stairs with a full-size safe that conveys. Outdoor living is a highlight, featuring a large covered back patio, outdoor kitchen, non-custom outdoor fireplace, spa, and fenced yard, all surrounded by mature trees that were trimmed last spring. The full 4.89 acres are not entirely fenced; a portion of the yard has been enclosed with a custom iron fence constructed on site for pets. The property includes three paved driveways, a 2-car attached garage with an additional side workshop area that provides extra square footage beyond the garage footprint and is separate but open to the garage, and a large detached workshop with an attached garage and storage area. The main garage does not have a side entrance; access is provided only through the primary garage door and the interior entry into the home. There is a side door to the detached shop/garage. The detached workshop also houses a private gym with multiple pieces of equipment that convey with the sale, excluding free weights. A mini fridge, desk, and window unit in the gym are included. The approximately 900 sq ft unattached casita is located next to the workshop and garage. It includes its own HVAC system and a tankless hot water heater. The casita features a full kitchen, living area, private laundry room, 1 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, and a large covered patio, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or extended stays. Enjoy peaceful Hill Country living within a gated community, offering a balance of privacy, space, and convenient access to outdoor recreation, small-town charm, and modern amenities.
