Property Detail: A recently completed stone guesthouse/cottage decorated in vintage Texas Hill country style by the owners with high pine ceilings, interior stonewalls in the great room, and a beautiful black iron gas fireplace (operational 11/30-3/1 with instant on-off). Various furs, hides and leather including a large bear rug adorn the main room with deer, turkey, bobcat, and other display mounts throughout. The loft boasts a large 6-person table for work or small gatherings.

Space abounds indoors and out on nearly 20 scenic acres. A hide-away mountain trappers cabin for the male, and a romantic, quiet and tastefully decorated stone cottage with majestic views and gorgeous kitchen, bath, and bedroom for the female.

Beautiful high country panoramas and sunsets off the large stone porch create a one of a kind Texas Hill Country escape. White rail fences, rolling pastures, and paint quarter horses on the property add to the beauty. Feed and pet the horses, consider a riding lesson in the arena, or perhaps take a scenic trail ride around the property (subject to availability, and additional charges apply). Bicycles are also available for rent for 1/2 day periods and longer.

The property also boasts a quarter-acre spring-fed pond (presently being re-stocked with catfish, bass and perch), a one-of-a-kind working stone barn with horses, a rabbit, chickens, and barn cats.

A stone path from the cottage leads up to a patio with outdoor fire place and smoker/grill on the property high point, overlooking portions of Lakeway, the Hill Country and beyond—perfect for a sunset bottle of wine or just relaxing under the Texas stars after dark. You will feel like you are at your own private Texas mountain lodge, yet with all the modern conveniences.

Stroll the property, explore the barn, see the pond, pet the horses, hike the parks and awesome nearby nature trails, play the area golf courses, enjoy Lake Travis water sports, or scout Lakeway and nearby Austin for the best area shopping, stores and restaurants; or venture west just 30 minutes or so into the Hill Country to visit the wineries, small towns and quaint shops. See: http://www.texaswinetrail.com.

Better yet, just stay in the cottage, and enjoy a full kitchen with 2 ovens, microwave, granite counter tops, a roomy but cozy great room with a 55” flat screen LED TV, and instant gas fireplace. Internet Wi-Fi and cable TV are no extra charge. A perfect spot for weekend sport watchers!

This awesome hideout cottage is only 25 miles from downtown Austin, and 30 miles from the Austin Bergstrom International Airport. It’s 15 minutes to the Lakeway Marina and Live Oak golf Course.

The new Lakeway Regional Medical center is just beyond the east range of scenic hills, off Flintrock road, approximately 4 minutes from the cottage (out of sight, but there if you need it).

During a Backyard event, one can relax on the high patio vista or cottage front porch under the stars and often pick up the faint sound of live music from world famous bands drifting in on the night air.
