About this property

Some homes give the view to one room. Here, it follows you. Set high on an oversized greenbelt lot in Steiner Ranch’s gated Santaluz community, this 5-bedroom home looks across the treetops to a broad sweep of Hill Country. Large windows keep that views in sight throughout the open kitchen, living and dining areas, making the landscape part of nearly every space on the main level. The kitchen centers around an oversized island with plenty of room for prep, and gathering, complemented by granite counters, gas cooking and extensive cabinetry. A butler’s pantry and wine refrigerator handle the extras between the kitchen and formal dining room, while the breakfast nook is wrapped in windows and positioned for one of the home’s best views. A private office provides a quiet place to work. Wood floors, arched openings, built-ins and stone fireplaces carry a consistent level of craftsmanship from one room to the next. The main-level primary suite takes full advantage of the elevated setting with a wall of windows and a private ensuite. A 2nd bedroom on this floor has its own ensuite and separate entrance, giving guests more independence. Upstairs, the game room includes a wet bar and opens directly to a covered balcony overlooking the greenbelt. A separate media room, three additional bedrooms, two with private ensuites, and another full bath give the second floor plenty of flexibility. Outside, a covered patio with a stone fireplace and built-in grill steps onto an expansive deck with room for dining, lounging and taking in the view. Mature trees line the yard, and there’s no rear neighbors to interrupt the greenbelt backdrop. Zoned to Vandegrift High School, the address also includes access to the private Steiner Ranch Lake Club on Lake Austin and more than 20 miles of community trails, with the UT Golf Club nearby. The home has the scale, flexibility and workmanship expected in Santaluz, but its elevated position above the greenbelt is what stays with you.
