Driftwood, TX 78619
$850,000
4 Bed 3 Bath 3,013 sqft $282/sqft Built 2020 3.01 acres 3-Car Garage Pool Rutherford West

Set on approximately 3 acres in Driftwood, 1861 Nature View Loop delivers the space, flexibility and privacy you are searching for in the Texas Hill Country. This thoughtfully designed single-story home features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a dedicated home office, and an additional flex space. One of the secondary bedrooms can be used as a private guest or mother-in-law suite with its own bedroom and bath.

The open kitchen and living spaces are designed for gathering, with a generous breakfast area, wet bar and an impressive custom walk-in pantry offering exceptional storage. Recent upgrades include a brand-new whole-house water softener and filtration system along with reverse-osmosis drinking water at the kitchen sink.

The floor plan provides excellent separation between the primary suite and secondary bedrooms, while the dedicated office and oversized flex room allow the home to adapt easily to changing needs—whether you need two offices, a game room, media room, playroom, homeschool space or hobby room.

Outdoor living is equally appealing. The property includes approximately 1/2 acre in the front yard, approximately 1/2 acre of fully fenced and enclosed backyard, and roughly 2 additional acres extending beyond the rear fence. The enclosed backyard creates a large, usable everyday outdoor space for pets, play and entertaining, with plenty of room to add a pool. The sellers also have pool renderings available to help buyers visualize the possibilities. Relax or entertain beneath the large covered patio, where the outdoor TV conveys, and take advantage of the additional backyard storage shed.

Add in a 3-car garage, spacious laundry room and a quiet street with minimal through traffic, and this property offers an unusually versatile combination of acreage, storage and functional living space.

At $282/sqft, this home is 20% below the Driftwood active market average of $354/sqft, potentially representing value relative to comparable properties currently on the market. View Austin market report →
