About This Property
Welcome to 8705 Bear Creek Drive, a Hill Country retreat on a private 2.84 acre property offering peaceful country living just 20 minutes from downtown Austin. Located in the Bear Creek Oaks community, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home features an open floorplan ideal for everyday living and entertaining with views of the surrounding landscape. The home was thoughtfully designed with a flex space that can function as a third bedroom using an accordion style partition. The spacious kitchen is the heart of the home with an impressive 8 burner gas cooktop, perfect for a foodie or chef, along with a gorgeous vent hood, abundant cabinetry, and an oversized pantry. Recent improvements include updated flooring, fresh interior paint, and refreshed porches that create inviting outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the property. The stunning wraparound porch welcomes you to slow down and enjoy the peaceful setting. In addition, there are two covered porches, one upstairs connecting the primary bedroom and flex space, and another enclosed porch just off the kitchen that creates the perfect sitting room or yoga space. The spacious primary suite includes two large walk-in closets. Step outside and enjoy the privacy of your acreage, with ranch fencing along three sides of the property and room to enjoy the outdoors, including an enclosed garden area perfect for growing veggies, herbs, or flowers. The covered porches are perfect for a morning cup of coffee or evening beverage while watching wildlife and Hill Country sunsets. The backyard retreat includes a $25k Master Spa that functions as a hot tub in the winter and a refreshing mini pool in the summer. The separate detached garage/workshop offers flexibility as a garage, storage space, or workspace and includes electricity and water connections. With space, privacy, and convenient access to Austin, this property offers the best of Hill Country living while remaining close to Austin and Dripping Springs and zoned to top tier schools.
