9512 Vera Cruz Rd

Welcome to your private retreat on 1.7 wooded acres in Southwest Austin. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the property feels like a secluded country estate, yet it's just 20 minutes from downtown Austin, offering a rare combination of privacy and convenience. Tucked at the end of a long driveway on a cul-de-sac, the home feels exceptionally private. Inside, vaulted ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace create an inviting living space that flows into the dining area and kitchen. Expansive Andersen windows and doors fill the home with natural light while framing garden views from nearly every room. The chef's kitchen features built-in Wolf and Thermador appliances, granite countertops, a center island, and a walk-in pantry. The first-floor primary suite offers two walk-in closets, separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. A dedicated office on the main level allows the home to live as a single story, while three upstairs bedrooms offer privacy for family and guests. A three-car garage and expansive driveway offer abundant parking. Outside, the property stands apart. This isn't simply a backyard, but a curated landscape that feels alive in every season. Winding garden paths showcase more than 35 species of mature trees, including live oaks, sycamores, elms, and maples, while more than 50 varieties of native flowers and shrubs ensure something is always in bloom, attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and songbirds throughout the year. Gather on the 300-square-foot patio, relax by the pool, or spend evenings around the fire pit. The expansive lawn offers space for games and outdoor entertaining, while the thriving vegetable garden produces tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. A greenhouse, raised garden beds, and a 10,000-gallon rainwater collection system support a lifestyle that's as sustainable as it is beautiful. With a low tax rate and a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and everyday convenience, this property is truly one of a kind.
