About this property
The major transformation of the main residence completely redefines this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom Hill Country farmhouse estate, set on a sprawling 2.2-acre private lot in Wilkerson Estates where unrestricted space meets authentic South Austin living. Opening the front door reveals how thoughtful architectural expansion created a home built around daily movement and real connection. At the center of the story is the fully transformed main residence, where an expanded layout breathes fresh energy into every room. The central living room connects seamlessly to a redesigned kitchen equipped with custom cabinetry, Silestone countertops, GE Cafe appliances, a wine-chilled wet bar, and a butler’s pantry. Tucked just off the main living spaces, you'll find a mudroom and expanded laundry room. The primary suite serves as a true retreat with its brand-new walk-in primary closet and an expanded, spa-inspired en suite bath featuring a clawfoot tub. Upstairs, an added game room sits alongside three bedrooms and two guest bathrooms (on of which is an ensuite). Step outside onto the covered back patio to take in an entire multi-building compound framed by mature trees and complete freedom with no HOA and low property taxes. The sparkling swimming pool anchors the backyard, while the 541-square-foot guest house with its own kitchen, bedroom and bath offers built-in potential for hosting or passive income. Add in a separate 182-square-foot air-conditioned office, a 400-square-foot bonus room, a 6-stall barn with a tack room, and an 5-car carport, with parking for 8, a workshop and dual 50-amp EV chargers, and the options become endless. Tucked into peaceful 78737, this location keeps you connected while feeling miles away from the rush. You are just 20 minutes from Downtown Austin and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. With quick access to Highway 290 and Highway 45, HEB, and Oak Hill; this one-of-a-kind estate is ready for its next chapter!
