Nestled on a full acre in Manchaca, just southwest of Austin, this truly one of a kind property offers a rare combination of privacy, intentional design, and custom features seldom found this close to the city. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home spans 2,200 square feet and is surrounded by a carefully curated landscape that feels more like a private botanical retreat than a typical backyard. Located only 17 miles from DT Austin and 21 miles to the ABIA airport this home delivers peaceful country living with exceptional accessibility. Across the street is a 300+ acre nature preserve with no development is allowed. Over two thirds of the land has been meticulously designed by the organic gardener sellers and features more than 60 species of flowers and plants, mature fruit trees, and multiple raised vegetable beds, creating a self-sustaining and visually stunning outdoor environment. Majestic oak trees anchor the backyard, where a 750 square foot deck overlooks a truly distinctive natural water swimming pool. This chemical free and salt free pool is a rare feature, rectangular in shape at 20 by 40 feet with an 8 foot depth, offering a resort style experience that is both environmentally conscious and visually striking. Further enhancing the uniqueness of the property is a separate 216 square foot office with vaulted ceilings, bamboo floors, and expansive windows, ideal for remote work, creative space, or guest use. A large pool house and separate workshop provide additional flexibility rarely found in residential properties. Two separate decks off the main home capture serene views of the manicured grounds, while approximately 3,500 gallons of fresh water storage with a high pressure pump plumbed into the main water line adds both functionality and resilience. This is not a cookie cutter home, but a carefully crafted retreat offering a lifestyle that blends nature, sustainability, and convenience, making it an exceptional and irreplaceable opportunity in the Manchaca area.
