Description
Space, freedom, and unmatched versatility—this is Hill Country living on your terms. Set on 3.4 acres in the highly sought-after Smokey Mountain Oaks community, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own usable land paired with incredible improvements—perfect for those who need room to live, work, create, and entertain. The grounds are thoughtfully laid out to maximize both function and lifestyle. A standout feature is the impressive 40x50 workshop, offering endless possibilities for business use, hobbies, or storage. Complementing this is a 30x40 covered parking structure, ideal for RVs, equipment, or recreational vehicles. A detached 2-car garage has been transformed into a custom pool hall, creating a unique, ready-made entertainment space, while the attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience. The property is further equipped with a whole house generator, its own septic system and water system, providing independence and long-term practicality. Surrounded by mature trees and open space, the setting delivers privacy, flexibility, and the kind of breathing room that’s increasingly hard to find near Austin. At the center of it all sits a thoughtfully designed residence offering 3 bed, 2 bath, and a dedicated home office. Inside, the layout is both comfortable and functional, with light-filled living spaces and a natural flow that makes everyday living feel effortless. Large windows frame views of the surrounding acreage, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Outdoor living is just as compelling, with a spacious deck and covered areas that invite you to relax, entertain, and take in the quiet beauty of the Hill Country. Located just outside of Austin, this property offers the perfect balance of accessibility and escape—close enough for convenience, yet far enough to feel like your own private retreat. Opportunities like this are rare—where land, improvements, and lifestyle come together to create something truly exceptional.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you are a parent considering this school, please read this carefully.My son was part of the wrestling program, and the emotional and physical treatment he received from the coaching staff caused long-lasting harm. The environment was extremely unhealthy, and several students—including my son—experienced humiliation, unsafe weight-cutting demands, and psychological pressure far beyond what is acceptable for teenagers.The coach routinely pushed students to gain and lose weight rapidly, made degrading comments about their masculinity, and used intimidation instead of guidance. Promises were made to motivate them, only to be withdrawn later in a way that damaged their confidence and emotional stability.This was not discipline.This was emotional abuse and negligence from adults who should have been protecting our children.Years later, my son is still dealing with the consequences of the trauma he experienced there. He is not the only one—other former students have privately shared similar stories.Schools should be safe.Coaches should build character, not break it.I hope this review encourages the administration to evaluate how students are being treated and to ensure no other child goes through what mine did.Other Review6mo ago - Gorzycki Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe GMS teachers are dedicated and care about the students’ success. There are tons of extracurriculars, from sports to fine arts, and a strong selection of electives that keep kids engaged. It’s a well-rounded, supportive environment that really helps students grow academically and socially. We’re so glad to be part of the Gorzycki community!Parent Review1y ago - Baldwin Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe found Baldwin to be very disappointing. The school culture is really toxic. The teachers are very nice, but I am almost positive that they are instructed by the administration to not communicate with the parents. Every time that I tried to talk to a teacher, they just refused to really tell me how my child was doing. One teacher even told my fourth grader’s class, “I don’t care if you don’t pay attention in math. Your parents can find out when your report cards come.” Report cards come every 9 weeks. There are no progress reports or communication to parents on how the kids are doing until those 9 weeks are up. That’s not a healthy learning environment. There are children that care about their grades, but my students didn’t have any interactions with kids that really wanted to learn. I believe my students learned something, but it was definitely not the focus of the students. The MAP scores in the fall never changed in the spring. Last, the students get to decide who gets in trouble at the school. Students tend to stick together if they live in the same neighborhood, but they tend to be ruthless to the newcomers.Parent Review2y ago
