Surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, this custom-built home by Kelly Ramsey (2013) offers a distinctive mountain-inspired feel just minutes from Lake Austin. Thoughtfully designed with bamboo hardwood floors, reclaimed wood accents, a durable metal roof, Andersen casement windows that invite an abundance of natural light, and a charming wood-burning fireplace in the living room, the home blends rustic character with comfortable living. The multi-level floor plan features two bedrooms, along with a Murphy bed in the living room, creating flexible accommodations for up to six guests. Whether enjoyed as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or potential short-term rental, the home offers versatility and charm. Step outside to a spacious wood deck overlooking a beautifully landscaped, wooded backyard that feels like a private nature retreat. The outdoor setting is ideal for entertaining, working remotely, or simply unwinding among the trees. A backyard gate provides access to the dry creek and additional wooded surroundings, while convenient storage is tucked beneath the rear of the home. Apache Shores residents have the option to enjoy an affordable annual HOA membership that provides access to an impressive collection of neighborhood amenities, including a private Lake Austin boat ramp and member boat docks, lakeside park, community pool, sports court, disc golf course, playground, volleyball court, soccer field, and Indian Creek hiking trails. For even more waterfront recreation, Mansfield Dam Boat Ramp on Lake Travis is approximately 12 minutes away. Enjoy the best of both worlds with convenient access to Lake Austin and Lake Travis, all while coming home to your own peaceful, wooded escape.
