Easy care path from the circular drive to the front door.

From the front door to the circular drive. The Center of the circle and beyond is full of seasonal color and an attraction to the local birds and bees! Various trees offer colorful blooms, as well. The blooms make each drive in a treasure hunt for what may have popped up!

The pathway around the entire home blends in with the gravel that protects the white rock from dirt splashes from the rain, provides a safe walk around the home to the garden, garages, patio, water tank, and things mechanical. It is functional as a protective measure, as well.

Off the foyer, the formal dining area offers space for your sized gathering for every season! The lighted, warm toned, classic style buffet is ideal for ALL the china, decor & silver!

Wouldn't you like your gatherings to be enjoyed here? The forest provides privacy, so, no need for shades, but there is an electric shade for the lower windows.

Natural lighting, soft arches, wood flooring, warm wood tones for the display and bookshelves. Lighting is recessed, sconce, natural or by fan. There is also electric shades to cover the windows...in case you're distracted by the outside beauty of the seasons. A very productive setting, for sure!

The full beauty of this room is best when viewed in person! The dynamic of melding the old world fireplace, warm wood built-ins for collections and media along with vaulted/beamed ceilings with recessed, fans and natural lighting with a neutral tile leaves room for your own unique blend of design and color palette to be seen as you enter the foyer through the ornate iron doors.

The same room with a view through the back windows to the outer sanctum. The virtual staging will give you an idea of the blending of the living and either dining area. There are electric shades on these windows, as well. This is a gas fireplace w/ a circulatory fan. Spot lighting enhances the mood you will want to create!

Sustainability places a lot of focus on preserving and using natural resources wisely. This is how you leave your legacy. Wise utilization and preservation of natural resources.

Another example of wise utilization of complimentary materials. This is your invitation to enjoy the seasons on the patio! Lighting, fans, arches, stone & tile with warm tones. West facing sunsets in the Texas sky in your own Forest on the Bluffs of Onion Creek. I hear a story coming to life!

Humbly and Successfully leaving a Legacy of Conservation on the this High Hill Country Estate in the Legendary Ruby Ranch.

It's always fun to watch the activity in the pond! A new bloom, the trickling sounds of the fall, the activity of the Dragonflys. The animal natural wildlife enjoys the drink, the grass, the solitude. There is a long list of fauna the seller has shared.

The Greenhouse and Garden are a great way to keep mind and hand busy! Growing your own is an option!

50,000 Gallons of Rain Water Storage. The pump house is to the right of the tank. Not in the direct line of site from inside the home.

This workshop has a bay door, a 1/2 bath, a window AC unit and a window. It adjoins the other workshop and the 2 additional garage spaces. Lots of lighting!

This room was enclosed and a mini-split was added to make it a year round, functional room. It overlooks the pond, the window garden, patio and is a few steps from the 3/4 bath off the kitchen. I think this room is where the small ideas become big!

Just Beautiful! A great place to secret away and have a picnic or a conversation... Legendary

At the corner of Bartlett & Story Dr. The first two driveways are 150 Story Dr. The meadows at the front, in the circular drive and the back come alive with Bluebonnets and native flowers in the spring. The forest of trees provide a valuable asset - of privacy - and still, the other lot will allow room for their touch. The lots cannot be subdivided, as the house crosses the boundary line. Conservation is mirrored in this view overlooking a City of Austin Conservation Parcel.

The feeling of being in a remote Chalet in the Back Country is very real if you take the time to take in all that is 150 Story Dr. Peace & Quiet are alive here.

6 Garage spaces and a workshop are accessed through the 2nd entrance off Story Dr. The shop space is in the Breezeway and the small door is good for a mule or deliveries, as it has shelving in it. The 2nd Floor is where the library is - over the garage.

As you can see see, the water storage is not visible from the windows or patio at the house. Plenty of trees to screen the green tank.

This boundary outline shows where the lot on Bartlett goes to the middle of Onion Creek and demonstrates the screen the Forest of trees offers from the neighbors. This Privacy is invaluable to some! There is an HOA & Architectural Committee if you wish to make changes or have a discussion about modifications.

Very unassuming at the front and a flare for the dramatic in the back! Don't let too many sun sets on your dreams!
