A beautifully crafted detached studio, a private backyard retreat, and forever greenbelt views set this Southampton home apart. Backing to the protected Stephenson Nature Preserve, this rare South Austin property replaces rear neighbors with towering trees, abundant wildlife, and unbeatable privacy this close to the urban center. The climate-controlled studio, covered cedar deck, custom four-person sauna, and fire pit create an incredible extension of the home's living space, making every season an invitation to spend more time outside. Inside, the single-story floor plan is bright, open, and thoughtfully renovated. Tall ceilings, rich natural light, wood-look tile floors, and a striking stone fireplace create inviting gathering spaces. A chic contemporary kitchen pairs quartz counters, custom cabinetry, butcher block island, stainless appliances, and backyard views that make everyday moments feel special. The primary suite offers a beautifully reimagined ensuite bath with an frameless shower, dual vanity, and custom walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and an equally stylish guest bath provide flexibility. The detached, climate-controlled studio adds nearly 200 square feet of inspiring space beneath soaring wood ceilings with clerestory windows, ideal for a creative studio, office, gym, or media room. Major investments including a 2019 roof, HVAC, ductwork, windows, added insulation, drainage improvements, solar attic fan, updated chimney, whole-house surge protection, and more deliver peace of mind for years to come. Just minutes from Barton Springs, the Wildflower Center, Arbor Trails, Whole Foods, H-E-B, Leona, Veracruz, and miles of nearby trails, this home offers the rare feeling of living surrounded by nature without giving up the convenience of South Austin. Homes that blend this level of privacy, thoughtful upgrades, and an unforgettable backyard are few and far between. Come experience it in person - you'll understand why it's so hard to leave.
