Bask under the Lone Star sky at this ranch-style villa in Texas Hill Country, just 8 miles from Downtown Austin. Nestled on 5 acres of private land, the home features generous outdoor living areas with a hot tub, pool, veranda, and fire pit for late-night festivities. Inside, rustic country charm gets a contemporary upgrade in the poker-friendly games room and chef-grade kitchen with bar.

Savor long afternoons in the Texas sun, plunging into the water and playing basketball at the in-pool hoop. Sizzle local meat and veggies on the barbecue and gather for alfresco meals on the veranda. Watch the big game in the covered lounge area with outdoor fireplace, and sip cocktails around the fire pit as the sun sets over the hills. Then crawl into the hot tub for a nightcap soak under the vast dome of stars.

The centerpiece of the interior is a vaulted living room with timber beams, an impressive fireplace in white stone, and a generous leather sectional for the whole family. The open, light-filled kitchen features chef-grade appliances, beautiful details like an exposed-brick backsplash, and an island bar for breakfast or cocktail-shaking. After dinner, play Texas Hold'em in the games room or ping-pong on the patio, and start the next day off with a workout in the gym.

Five bedrooms (including 4 with ensuite bathrooms and 2 with a kid-friendly vibe) offer comfortable accommodations for families, groups of friends, or colleagues on a business retreat. The master opens directly to the pool terrace and includes a dual vanity and clawfoot tub in its bathroom.

From this secluded oasis, you're about 10 minutes from the fairways of Barton Creek Coore & Crenshaw, and about 8 to 11 miles from a wide range of unique destinations. Catch some world-class music at Zilker Metropolitan Park, take a dip in Barton Springs Pool, and hop among the bars and eateries of Downtown Austin.
