About the Property
Welcome to this stunning property just 10 miles south of Johnson City and 15 minutes east of Dripping Springs. Located in Byrd Ranch, which is a gated ranch neighborhood of 25+ acre tracts accessed by an incredibly picturesque entrance over a bridge/dam over Miller Creek. The entire area is fully fenced spanning 28.53 acres.
One of the highlights of this property is that it overlooks and shares a fence to a 3500+/- acre exotics ranch and valley, providing ample privacy and breathtaking views. Additionally, the property benefits from an agricultural exemption through its designation as a wildlife sanctuary.
The main house boasts a spacious 3000 square feet, featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 offices that can be utilized as an office and craft room. The house prioritizes large windows to maximize the stunning eastern view from the family room, dining room, master bedroom, guest bedrooms, and sewing/craft room. The kitchen showcases stone accents and a stone wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter. The family room and foyer impress with 12-foot ceilings and the rest of the home features 9-10 foot ceilings throughout. The house features engineered high-gloss wood floors with tiled bathrooms and kitchen areas. Appliances include a new (2022) Wolf kitchen range-top and double oven, a second fridge in the laundry room, and a large upright freezer in the carport utility room. Throughout the main house, you will find custom-made knotty alder built-in cabinets and bookcases, as well as 8-foot knotty alder interior doors.
For guests or additional living space, there is a charming cedar cabin complete with a kitchen, bathroom, and a wrap-around porch. Storage and workspace needs are met with a 38x30 metal barn, situated on a concrete slab. The barn features roll-up doors and built-in shelving.
In 2015, a 15,000-gallon inground heated pool with a spa was installed, and it was recently restored and upgraded in 2021. Adjacent to the pool is a flagstone sun deck that overlooks the eastern valley.
The 1100-foot driveway was chip sealed in 2023, complete with drainage and culverts. An RV carport is available on a concrete slab, equipped with a 50 amp electric hookup. A fenced-in dog kennel is located behind the barn. The property features an irrigated raised-bed vegetable garden and orchard, boasting a variety of fruits including apple, peach, plum, almond, fig, and blackberry.

Additionally, a stone fire pit adds to the ambiance.
The property offers stunning views from both the eastern and western ridges, allowing you to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
