About 300 Sundown Rdg

Enjoy sweeping Hill Country sunsets from this private, west-facing retreat on Sundown Ridge. Situated on a secluded 5.09-acre lot with approximately 40 feet of elevation change, the property was selected for its long-range views, mature oak trees, and dramatic limestone outcroppings. Native wildlife, including free-roaming deer, enhances the peaceful, natural setting. Designed for both privacy and flexibility, the property offers an Austin address, low Hays County tax rate, efficient utilities, and zoned to exemplary Dripping Springs ISD. With ample acreage, there is room to add a pool, guest house, additional residence, horses, or explore short-term rental opportunities. Outdoor living is highlighted by a 540-square-foot covered back porch with rustic timber posts, limestone steps, and a concrete floor. Beyond the outer edge of the backyard, the land drops an additional 20 feet, perfectly framing the sunset views. The home features classic Hill Country architecture with a log-style front porch, limestone accents, and an R-panel screw-down metal roof. Built w/ energy-efficient structural engineered panels (10" roof panels and solid foam 6" walls + 6" limestone), the home was awarded “Superior Energy Efficiency” by PEC when it was built. Inside, the open-concept layout connects the living, dining, kitchen, and office areas, accented by terra-cotta style tile floors, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, skylights, and a stone fireplace. Long-leaf pine trim adds warmth throughout. The kitchen was renovated in 2023 with quartz countertops, subway tile, and stainless steel appliances, and the HVAC was replaced the same year. The vaulted primary suite features French doors, a soaking tub, glass shower, dual vanities, and a skylight. Two secondary bedrooms share a stylish bath, and a large 572-square-foot recreation or game room with a half bath completes the home. This is one you don't want to miss - a rare Hill Country retreat offering privacy, versatility, and convenience.
