$1,595,000 - 16206 Sweetwood Trail, Austin

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on more than five private acres, 16206 Sweetwood Trail is a thoughtfully designed Hill Country retreat in Driftwood—where wide-open spaces meet the lifestyle of Austin. Lovingly custom-built by the sellers in 2010–2011, the home was created for connection, comfort, and gathering, highlighted by an exceptional 960 sq ft covered back patio that has hosted everything from relaxed family evenings to unforgettable celebrations under the Texas sky. At the heart of the home is a spacious chef’s kitchen designed to inspire. Rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a striking stainless steel vent hood, and a large prep island create both beauty and function—an ideal space for cooking, entertaining, and bringing people together. The main residence is filled with natural light, elegant flooring including marble and travertine, and with large windows framing peaceful views of mature trees and rolling acreage. An attached 761 sq ft three-car garage adds everyday convenience and generous storage. In 2020, the property was thoughtfully expanded to enhance versatility and modern living. A 940 square foot detached guest house—complete with kitchenette, half bath, and bedroom—offers flexible accommodations for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office, studio, or wellness space. The addition also includes a 1,167 square foot detached garage with workshop and RV storage, plus EV charging, blending Hill Country charm with today’s functionality. Zoned to Dripping Springs ISD and just 30 minutes from Downtown Austin, this property offers privacy, flexibility, and room to grow—an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy true Hill Country living without sacrificing convenience.
