About This Lot

As of March 2025

Step into your own green paradise at 13331 Trail Driver Street, an exceptional green lifestyle just minutes from downtown Austin.
Reimagined from the ground up, this $500K+ remodel incorporates all the latest eco-friendly technology to support your almost off-the-grid lifestyle. The property features a large photovoltaic (PV) installation, providing free A/C, water heating, and house heating, along with a remarkable $1,500 overall electrical credit. Four rainwater collection tanks, equipped with state-of-the-art purification systems, ensure a constant supply of pure rainwater year-round.
Half of the 15-acre estate is lush green pastureland, ideal for sustainable agriculture or livestock, while the other half offers sweeping views of the Hill Country from atop a gentle slope.
The 2700 square-foot main house features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all painstakingly remodeled to blend modern comfort and rustic allure. Discover soaring ceilings, a two-story stone fireplace, and custom finishes including Brazilian granite countertops and cherry cabinets crafted with reclaimed wood from the property's former barn door. An adjacent workshop and guesthouse with a bedroom and full bath offer additional space for creativity or guests.
Venture beyond the walls to uncover the true essence of this property. Enveloped by tree-covered hills and a tranquil creek, the land teems with biodiversity, from graceful deer to playful raccoons, and some of the best stargazing in Texas.
Every detail has been carefully considered to create an unparalleled sustainable living experience. Yet, the cost of living here remains remarkably low, with a tax rate of just 1.5%, free rainwater, and solar arrays that surpass electricity usage, keeping recurring costs minimal.
Experience the magic of sustainable living—contact us today to schedule your visit to this extraordinary lifestyle.
