I wouldn't call it fairy tale nor Frank Loyd at all. I would however say that the architect behind it did a wonderful job of blending it to the terrain and keeping nature in mind. Beautiful. Not my style, but I like it!

I'm right up the road in Lakeway and I approve of this property. Wow, I would love to live there! I'm in 3300 sq ft, with high ceilings, tall floor to ceiling windows everywhere, a huge multi-level (trex) private deck that wraps around from the kitchen to the master, all facing a pond and a serene golf course. Yet, when I hear "5 acres" and see those views, the dynamics of all that's going on there, and that space?! I'd be there asap if I could!

It's truly a beautiful area and town! Make sure to get off the highways as soon as you can...I suggest 1826 to driftwood and then either Elder Hill to 12 or 150 down to the Old Kyle highway and then into Wimberley. Get there early if you want to walk around so you can find parking. There's a lot with bathrooms near the square and across the road from my friend Alicia's boutique "My Happy Place." Have a great time!! -Chris

Biggest problem with Austin texas is it is in texas. Very very high property home taxes 1.6 percent per 100 dollars. When you add property and insurance Upto 500 to 1000 more a month plus mortgage payments. My house is paid off but still pay 7000 a year taxes and insurance and that doesn't change if you lose your job or retire. Texas gas tax one the lowest In the country that is why property taxes are so high. Rich people will not pay state income tax that why no tax. Rich and oil companies run texas.
@livinginaustintx 5 күн бұрын
Fair point, but, overall, Texas is just below the median cost of living for the US. So, even though we have the high tax rates on property, it's still cheaper to live here than most other places in the US. Now, if we stop wasteful spending at the local and county levels, we could get that cost of living even lower 💪💪💪💪 -Chris

Lovely home, and obviously built by someone who appreciates the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Something tells me, however, that even though it's on piers it has its fair share of scorpions.

Thanks for watching! I personally make them for a few reasons (none of which are the sensationalized thumbnails my editors insist on.) But the main one is to try and tell the real story about what Austin is, and it ain't for everyone. And this video, specifically, is to prevent people from moving here if it's not for them. Pretty odd, huh, a greedy damn used car salesman Realtor trying to keep people from moving to an area? And yes, I had a couple of pretty good years during covid, but you know who made more money? The sellers I helped cash in as well as just about anyone else in a service based economy during that time. But what I'd encourage you to do is friend me on FB and go look at what my content was like during that time and who I spent the vast majority of that time helping. If you've been here since 86, we'd probably get along really well...reach out, let's go grab a coffee or a beer🍻 -Chris
