Legacy Hills · Johnson City, Texas

Five acres in the oaks. One modern Hill Country estate.

Five private acres under mature live oaks in gated Legacy Hills, between Austin and Fredericksburg wine country, and a 2024 home with timeless finishes. Walking trails, oryx and whitetail grazing past the porch, a 60′×40′ shop with a climate-controlled studio and gym, a pool-ready back yard, and a wildlife tax exemption that changes the math. Offered at $1,550,000.

The short version

The Hill Country, done right.

A brick-and-stucco house built in 2024 with a chef's kitchen under vaulted beams, a great room wrapped in glass, and a spa-like primary suite, four bedrooms and three baths on one level, a bonus room above, and a covered porch that looks out over the oaks. The whole house runs on rainwater, harvested from its own roof and the shop's. Then, out back: a shop big enough for the RV and the toys, with a 600 sq ft climate-controlled drum studio, gym, and fourth full bath attached. It's been a full one-bedroom apartment before, and the kitchen plumbing and electrical are still there. Six-foot-wide walking trails through the oaks. A fenced back yard already engineered for the pool. And a wildlife tax exemption that changes the math, in a gated neighborhood where scimitar oryx and blackbuck antelope graze past the back-yard fence.

Brick, stucco, steel, and rain.

Brick and stucco walls under a standing-seam metal roof. Every drop that lands on that roof, and on the insulated shop roof, is collected into a 55,000-gallon system that runs the entire house. Whole-property mesh Wi-Fi and smart-home automation: dimmable, dimmable smart lighting throughout the house on voice control (motion-sensing in select areas), remote-controlled lighting outside, and underground utilities so none of it shows.
