Homes rarely sit on a corner this good, but this one makes the most of every inch, starting with a backyard that feels like you’ve just wandered into your own Hill Country hideaway. Set in The Arbor at Great Hills, this former D.R. Horton model still carries that showcase presence from the street, elevated at the junction of Ironwood Cove and Spicebrush with mature oaks and native rock gardens framing the lot. Two xeriscaped beds wrap the exterior with agave, cactus, and Texas stone. Inside, the ceilings rise immediately, along with windows that pull in long Hill Country views. The main living spaces flow with warm tile underfoot, leading you toward a kitchen that was completely reworked; from its oversized island and granite countertops to upgraded appliances and white cabinetry built to suit the space. A dedicated office sits nearby, tucked just enough for focus but still connected. Upstairs, bamboo laminate brings a natural, easy feel to the bedrooms and game room. The reimagined primary suite stays true to the home’s calm, retreat-like tone. Its ensuite bath adds a bit of transport with a tile-and-glass steam shower and wood-plank detailing inspired by island resorts. Step into the backyard and everything shifts into pure Austin outdoor living. The gunite pool and spa stretch across the back of the property, shaped to echo Bull Creek’s limestone ledges. The pool deck wraps generously around the water, giving you space to sun, unwind, or host a crowd. A built-in grill makes poolside dinners simple, and the entire setting picks up a glow in the evenings when the oaks pull shadows across the water. Living in Great Hills ties it all together with its tree-lined streets, proximity to Great Hills Country Club, zoning for acclaimed schools, along with quick access to top shopping, dining and downtown. Here, you get the location, the layout, and a backyard that outshines anything else on the market.
