A kitchen made for real life
The chef-designed kitchen is one of the home’s standout spaces!
It offers a generous work surface, a large island, warm cabinetry, and a considered finish that feels right at home among the oaks and limestone. The layout is designed to work for everyday meals, but it also has the presence needed for hosting family and friends.
This is the kind of kitchen where you can picture the whole rhythm of the day. Coffee in the morning. A quick lunch between projects. Dinner with the doors open and the Hill Country air moving through the house.
The kitchen also features a premium gas range, commercial-quality vent hood, remote rooftop blower, makeup air system, and under-cabinet task lighting.
Vaulted ceilings and comfortable gathering spaces
The main living area brings an easy sense of scale with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, expansive windows, and a fireplace ready for wood or propane.
Natural light helps connect the interior to the acreage. The home feels open, but not overwhelming. It feels designed for people to gather, settle in, and stay awhile.
The primary suite adds another layer of comfort with a spa-like bathroom, soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, custom closet, and convenient access to the laundry room.
A large bonus room upstairs creates even more flexibility. Use it as a media room, game room, office, fitness space, or an extra hangout zone. You get to decide what fits your life!
The shop may be your favorite room on the property
The detached 60′ x 40′ shop is a serious bonus.
It offers room for vehicles, equipment, an RV, hobbies, storage, or a large-scale workshop. The possibilities are wide open. Whether you have a collection to protect, a business that needs workspace, or simply want room for all your Hill Country projects, this building brings flexibility that is hard to find.
The shop also includes a guest suite with a private entrance and bathroom. That means guests, extended family, or a live-in caretaker can enjoy privacy while remaining close by.
It is more than a shop. It is an extension of the property.
Smart-home technology that works quietly in the background
Modern convenience is built into 1516 E Flying Owl Drive.
Google smart home automation, voice-controlled lighting, remote-controlled exterior lighting, and whole-property mesh Wi-Fi help the home function smoothly across the acreage.
The property is also prepared for a future pool installation. A 12-foot access gate allows room for construction equipment, and the 55,000-gallon water storage system was sized with a future pool in mind.
The vision can continue unfolding over time!
Pedernales Falls State Park is practically part of the lifestyle
One of the biggest draws of this Johnson City property is the access to outdoor adventure.
Pedernales Falls State Park is about 10 miles east of Johnson City. The park is known for its beautiful limestone formations and opportunities to hike, swim, tube, fish, birdwatch, and mountain bike.
Some days call for a quiet walk beneath the trees. Other days call for getting in the water and cooling off. That is the beauty of the Hill Country. You can choose your pace!
After time at the park, stop by the Pedernales Falls Trading Post for craft beer, burgers, grilled favorites, and live music. In Johnson City, Pecan Street Brewing is another local favorite for food, beer, and an easygoing small-town evening.
Wine, history, and Hill Country day trips
Living in Johnson City also places you close to some of the region’s most memorable destinations.
Wine lovers can visit Siboney Cellars in Johnson City or make a day of it at William Chris Vineyards in Hye. These are the kinds of places that make a casual Saturday feel like a proper getaway.
History is close, too. The Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park offers a look at the life, land, and legacy of the 36th president. The park’s ranch, historic buildings, and Texas White House connections make it a meaningful part of the local landscape.
From 1516 E Flying Owl Drive, Dripping Springs, Fredericksburg, and Austin are all within reach for work, dining, shopping, entertainment, and additional Hill Country exploring.
You get the quiet of acreage living without feeling disconnected from everything else.
