Aerial view of 1516 E Flying Owl — the home and shop on five green acres with the Hill Country beyond
Legacy Hills · Johnson City, Texas

Five acres in the oaks. One modern Hill Country estate.

Five private acres under mature live oaks in gated Legacy Hills, between Austin and Fredericksburg wine country — and a 2024 home with timeless finishes. Walking trails, oryx and whitetail grazing past the porch, a 60′×40′ shop with a climate-controlled studio and gym, a pool-ready back yard, and a wildlife tax exemption that changes the math. Offered at $1,550,000.

The short version

Luxury, privacy, and room to do everything — built the way you'd build it yourself.

A brick-and-stucco house built in 2024 with a chef's kitchen under vaulted beams, a great room wrapped in glass, and a spa-like primary suite — four bedrooms and three baths on one level, a bonus room above, and a covered porch that looks out over the oaks. The whole house runs on rainwater, harvested from its own roof and the shop's. Then, out back: a shop big enough for the RV and the toys, with a 600 sq ft climate-controlled drum studio, gym, and fourth full bath attached — it's been a full one-bedroom apartment before, and the kitchen plumbing and electrical are still there. Six-foot-wide walking trails through the oaks. A fenced back yard already engineered for the pool. And a wildlife tax exemption that changes the math — in a gated neighborhood where scimitar oryx and blackbuck antelope graze past the back-yard fence.

Brick, stucco, steel — and rain.

Brick and stucco walls under a standing-seam metal roof. Every drop that lands on that roof — and on the insulated shop roof — is collected into a 55,000-gallon system that runs the entire house. Whole-property mesh Wi-Fi and smart-home automation: dimmable, dimmable smart lighting throughout the house on voice control (motion-sensing in select areas), remote-controlled lighting outside, and underground utilities so none of it shows.
