11072 LA PALOMA LOOP E, SALADO, TX 76571

Set on a spacious corner lot of over half an acre, this custom-built single-story home blends elevated design with resort-style outdoor living in one of Salado's most desirable communities. Located outside city limits, the property benefits from a low 1.6% tax rate while offering the space and privacy buyers are looking for along the I-35 corridor. The true centerpiece of this home is the backyard experience. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the property now features a modern pool, sunning deck with turf, private putting green, and sport court--creating a setting that feels more like a private retreat than a typical residence. The oversized north-facing back patio, complete with fireplace and built-in grill, provides a comfortable outdoor living space year-round. Inside, the home showcases a thoughtfully designed open layout with high ceilings and quality finishes throughout. Natural light, clean lines, and attention to detail create a warm yet refined atmosphere. The kitchen, living, and dining areas flow seamlessly together, ideal for everyday living and hosting guests. Additional features include an oversized three-car garage, circular driveway for added parking, expansive front porch, and full exterior soffit lighting. Functional upgrades such as two HVAC systems, two water heaters (including a dedicated unit for the primary suite), water softener loop, and aerobic septic system add efficiency and convenience. The property is further enhanced by upgraded xeriscape landscaping with masonry borders, rock gardens, and water-efficient plantings for long-term ease of maintenance. An 8-foot sound barrier/privacy fence adds an extra layer of seclusion. This property offers a rare combination of custom construction, extensive outdoor amenities, and modern upgrades in a growing Central Texas location.
