About This Home

As of May 2022

**Offers due Monday, May 2 at 5pm Central.** Magnificent, custom-built French country estate less than 30 minutes south of downtown Austin, in the Village of Bear Creek. Situated on more than 2 acres of beautiful Texas hill country, enjoy the 1,000+ square foot covered patio in the evenings. Every detail inside this home was thoughtfully considered and constructed to meet the original owners’ exacting old-world standards. She was raised in France and once worked with Julia Child - and the chef’s kitchen reflects her love of cooking and entertaining. High-end appliances, tons of work surface and storage make this a chef’s dream. There are beautiful custom cabinets and wood floors throughout the main home, along with marble in the bathrooms, which compliment the exposed wood beam ceilings and architectural stone and brick features. Primary living area has a stone hearth, wood-burning fire place and plenty of space to spread out. The Primary bed and bath are at one end of the house with wood burning fireplace, lots of natural light, ample storage and a gorgeous marble bathroom including Whirlpool tub and walk-in shower. 2 guest bedrooms are at the other end of the house, joined by a full jack and jill bathroom. Classic office off of the main entry, with built-in bookshelves and pocket doors for privacy. Bedroom above the 3-car garage is carpeted and cooled, which could be a great craft room or man cave. For your oenophile clients, there is a 300+ bottle temperature-controlled wine room adjoining the formal dining area. The home has multiple raised-stone garden beds for fresh vegetables. It also features a she-shed with electricity and a gorgeous chicken coop for fresh eggs anytime! Low taxes and desirable Dripping Springs ISD.
Furniture, most of which is from France, can be negotiated as part of sale.
