About this home

Welcome to 1296 Trebled Waters, a thoughtfully designed custom home in the highly sought-after Howard Ranch community, where timeless architecture meets the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Built in 2017 on over 3 acres with classic, enduring finishes, this exceptional property offers 3,235 square feet in the main residence, featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and inviting spaces designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. At the heart of the home, an expansive living room with soaring vaulted ceilings is anchored by a striking stone fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming gathering space. Just beyond, a light-filled sunroom with oversized windows provides views of the surrounding acreage, where native wildflowers, mature oak trees, a variety of birdlife, and Central Texas wildlife can be admired. One of the property's most remarkable features is its direct access to Onion Creek, with an impressive 179 feet of private creek frontage. The property line extends beyond the opposite side of the creek, ensuring this portion of the creek will remain private and undeveloped. The outdoor experience continues with a beautifully constructed treehouse, a zip line and a fire pit for enjoying the star-filled skies. A detached garage apartment adds approximately 360 square feet of flexible living space, complete with a full bedroom and bathroom, making it ideal for overnight guests, extended family, or a private home office. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the four garage spaces, including two extended-length bays perfectly suited for oversized vehicles, boats, or recreational equipment. This property is minutes from the boutiques, restaurants, and conveniences of downtown Dripping Springs, with some of the area's favorite breweries, distilleries. Offering privacy, recreation, and an exceptional Hill Country lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Howard Ranch's most desirable creekside properties.
