Hill Country Modern estate with European soul on 2 private acres beneath legacy oaks in Creek Road Ranch. Designed by Herron Design Studio and built around a central pool courtyard, it lives like a gated private compound. The 2-bed/2.5-bath main residence (3310 sqft) is joined by a detached 1-bed/1-bath guest home (301 sqft) and an oversized 3-car garage. At its heart, a resort-style pool and courtyard anchor the home, framed by limestone, brick terraces, oaks, and glass fencing, opening to the water from the main spaces. Materials feel collected, not selected: reclaimed longleaf pine floors, reclaimed Chicago brick, doors from Denmark, Belgian chandeliers, and a Paris-sourced freestanding tub. A custom Presidio pivot front door opens into a glass-walled entry gallery with the pool framed straight ahead and oaks behind; five more iron-and-glass doors draw in light and landscape. Inside, a massive open great room joins living, dining, and kitchen under soaring beamed ceilings, with walls of windows framing the oaks and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The kitchen is anchored by a large island and outfitted with an 8-burner Wolf range with double ovens and dual glass-front Sub-Zero refrigeration, including a wine fridge and ice maker. A lounge includes a full bar, glass shelving, a kegerator, an ice maker, and glass walls overlooking the pool and outdoors. The primary suite lives like its own wing, opening to the pool with vaulted ceilings, a Chicago brick accent wall, dual walk-in closets, and an intimate screened porch with stone fireplace. The bath features the Paris tub, steam shower, and cantilevered sinks. The guest home adds flexibility for guests, office or multigenerational living. Grounds include a fire pit, fountains, garden paths, two raised garden beds, and a chicken coop. Spray-foam insulation, tankless water heaters, three AC units, and a mini-split in the guest home. Highly regarded Dripping Springs schools, wineries, and easy Austin access.
