Better than new in gated Arrowhead Ranch, this upgraded M/I Homes Belmont II backs to a large, tree-filled greenbelt with privacy, shade, and room for a pool. The west-facing front helps keep the backyard and large flagstone patio out of the hottest afternoon sun, making it a great place to grill, relax, or watch the kids and dogs run around. There is even a producing peach tree already in place.

Inside, the layout is comfortable, open, and built for real life. The large kitchen island gives everyone room to gather, with natural matte alder cabinets, Level 4 granite countertops, and natural gas cooking. The main living area includes a corner gas-log fireplace, while a dedicated office, private guest suite with ensuite bath, and large upstairs game room give everyone space to spread out. The primary bath includes a soaking tub, and the home also features in-ceiling speakers and a dedicated networking rack.

The true three-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, tools, bikes, and outdoor gear. The home is hardwired for a generator with a transfer switch, includes a natural gas connection for the generator, a separate gas stub for the grill, and a whole-house surge protector. It has also been pre-inspected, with most repairs already completed.

Arrowhead Ranch offers the kind of Dripping Springs lifestyle people move here for, with a gated entrance, a neighborhood pool, miles of trails, Onion Creek access, and plenty of Hill Country scenery. Dripping Springs elementary, middle, and high schools are all just minutes away, while Austin, ABIA, local parks, hiking, breweries, wineries, and Hill Country day trips are within easy reach. Spend the morning on the trail, the afternoon by the creek, or head west for live music and a cold drink in Luckenbach.
