About This Home
Welcome to 278 Barton Bend Rd, where thoughtful design, enduring materials, and the peaceful rhythm of nature come together on 7.31 private acres in Medlin Creek Ranch. This north-facing Hill Country retreat spans 5,003 sq ft of conditioned space across a custom main residence, fully independent guest house, and finished garage lounge. Every detail was considered—even the home’s placement, which required the removal of just one oak tree to preserve the natural canopy.
Inside the 3-bed, 4-bath main home, reclaimed Redwood beams and American Black Walnut floors elevate the interiors. A blackout-shaded media room sets the stage for cozy movie nights, while the upstairs gym-ready room features a reinforced ceiling with integrated ring anchor for suspension or weight equipment. The guest house offers its own entrance, engineered Walnut floors, a kitchenette, full bath, dedicated HVAC, smart tech integration, and full backup power—perfect for guests or long-term stays.
The 2-car attached and 3-car detached garages include climate-controlled attic storage, a half bath, a lounge, and a EuroCave wine cooler. Smart features by Imagine Solutions (Control4) manage lighting, AV, blinds, security, and more. Lutron shades—both manual and motorized—provide style and comfort throughout.
Sustainably powered by a 59-panel, 19.29 kW SunPower solar array and a 24kW KOHLER generator (dual 500-gal tanks), the estate also includes a 42,000-gal potable rainwater tank, 9,900-gal well tank for irrigation, a water recirculation system, and HydroWise app-controlled irrigation. Septic and dual dry wells complete the infrastructure.
Outside, a resort-style infinity pool with spa, acrylic divider, fire feature, and dual filtration is paired with a bocce ball court, outdoor grill, Ipe decking, imported Branco Classico stone, and LED lighting. A 1⁄2-mile walking loop winds through more than 200 mature oaks and 120+ saplings. Did I mention the rose garden and Bocce Ball court? So much more!
