New price reduction! LMC Ranch is one of the premier, private live water, improved showplaces in the Texas Hill Country. A fine custom home with splendid location and proximity to Austin, tied to abundant spring water, exquisite hardwood bottoms flanked by steep hills, makes this a rare offering.There is a sense of privacy here unmatched in the Texas Hill County this close to Austin. The natural vegetation, active Wildlife Management Plan, year-round waters, and steep 300-foot limestone bluff faces create a world apart.There are some amazing secret side canyons, grottos, and hilltops accessible by foot or by Red Hawk Road to the west. There is a small remote cabin with electricity in these hills; perfect for a weekend escape or day adventure. This property lends itself to a well-planned development with multiple future building sites and perhaps an amazing common park along the creek. There currently is no Conservation Easement on the property, but given its high development potential, a Conservation Easement donated by the new owner could provide substantial tax benefits.The Overland Partners-designed home is the hallmark of LMC Ranch, with its array of unique interior wood and stone finishes, courtyards, porches, Mediterranean/Hill Country look designed within the native vegetation, hills, and meadows.The property was remodeled by the new owners and recently underwent a makeover of the landscaping around the improvements and inside the compound, which is laced with flagstone patios accented by lush flowers, many fruit trees, and various native plants. A gorgeous, relaxing swimming pool is the main event; large enough for laps, and deep enough for a diving board, with added interest from exposed rock columns beneath a shady arbor on one side. The entire setting is reminiscent of a small luxury resort, and the look is relaxed, classy, and tasteful. A fine stone/gunmetal home of about 4,600 square feet is the centerpiece, featuring far too many amenities to list, many custom to this home only. The original builder was in the fine lumber business and cut no corners, using walnut, oak, pecan, cypress, and longleaf pine finishes. Comprised of 3 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, this premier-quality dwelling features rock walls, pecan floors/doors, unusual "boxed" cypress ceilings, and lots of windows with views to the courtyards, pool and Hill Country beyond. A hallway gallery is designed to display fine art. Artisan-quality, handmade and Italian Terzanni fixtures are found throughout. A wonderful great room encompasses a sitting and dining area, with huge fireplace and 15' ceilings. A sprawling master bathroom is connected to a serene meditation room, which opens to a small patio. The intriguing flow of the home is appealing; lots of nooks and crannies to inhabit/use, plus lots of interesting fixtures, craftsman-quality detail and design features. Joined by covered walkway is a neat, 400 square foot guest house of similar construction and appointments, which also has a charming, small sleeping porch beside the swimming pool. A huge, 3 car garage is fully finished out, and a wood frame separate game/workout room of rustic cypress features windows all sides, and about 900 sf of usable, climate controlled space. All major furnishings, except dining room table and chairs, chairs in large fireplace room, and a few small items, will be included in sale.
