When you step along the stone pathway leading up to this ranch-style home nestled in oak trees, you may think to yourself — have I completely escaped into nature?

You wouldn’t be wrong. A new $15.2 million listing set in a nature conservancy has hit the Austin market.

Here’s what the “Sanctuary on Barton Creek” has to offer:

  • A rare spot in the Spanish Oaks Golf Club community along Barton Creek
  • The main residence includes five bedrooms + three bathrooms, plus one half-bathroom
  • A guest lodge complete with a bedroom and bathroom
  • A tiered pool surrounded by greenery in a stone courtyard
A stone-lined multi-level pool surrounded by greenery.

If pools aren’t your scene, the primary bathroom includes a soaking tub.

Given that the property includes 200-ft of shoreline, it should come as no surprise that the home has a luxury cabin feel.

After splashing around the creek and hiking through nature, this home’s future owner can enjoy the fireplaces (both indoor + outdoor) or take in the views from the second-story patio.
