12700 Trail Driver offers more than one may pick up on at first glance, although the Hill Country Views and Oak Trees already had you stop and look! This property is a nature lovers retreat as the current owner offered a sanctuary that attracts cardinals, house finches, gold finches, blue birds and jays. During the months of May, June, and July, a special visitor arrives: The Painted Bunting; this bird is considered the most spectacular bird in North America! The owl house is often occupied in early spring by Screech Owls & Barn Owls can be heard and seen at times. Constructed on the property is a storage building that doubles as an astronomical observatory with a roll-off roof; it's great for photographing the night sky too. There is also an insulated room that works as a workshop, office, or hobby room that can be accessed from the garage or an exterior back door. This "bonus" room is about 72 sqft, and it is not counted in the square footage that is marketed in the main home. The homeowner has done recent updates including flooring, painting, new roof screws & grommets, had a certified arborist trim several oaks, and updated the kitchen backsplash. There is an HVAC unit for upstairs & a separate one for downstairs which helps with energy efficiency. The well UV light, softener equipment, & pump have been updated in 2018. Trail Driver is located off of the popular "Fitzhugh" road that leads to Austin and Dripping Springs! So Fun to have the Austin Address and still get to be enrolled in the exemplary Dripping Springs ISD schools! This home is nearly as close as you can get to Downtown Austin and still be zoned to Dripping Springs schools, as it is only 19 miles to Downtown! Nature, Austin, Dripping Springs ISD, Hill Country, convenient to new retail and restaurants, yep, it checks the boxes!
