Direct Access to River & Scenic Views | Sotol by AvantStay
Introducing Sotol – A Luxe Retreat with Panoramic Views
Nestled on an expansive, elevated lot and surrounded by its namesake plant, Sotol offers a private haven with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The Pedernales River wanders through the valley below, inviting you to explore nature's wonders over the property’s 5 acres, with direct access to 430 feet of Pedernales riverfront.
One of the highlights of this home is its vast balcony, a harmonious blend of covered and open spaces. Lounge in style amidst comfortable seating and a corner fireplace, while sleek glass garage doors can be lowered, providing shelter without compromising the panoramic views. A dining table and BBQ grill prep station complete this outdoor oasis, while a cornhole set below is ready for friendly competition. You’ll even find an outdoor shower for a convenient rinse after a day of exploring.
Inside, the common area exudes sophistication with vaulted ceilings, creating an airy ambiance. Relax in the sitting area or perch on barstools in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring a wine refrigerator, full-size ice maker, and a spacious island counter.
Sotol offers three exquisite bedrooms, ensuring ample space to unwind. The primary bedroom boasts an attached ensuite bathroom with a shower, standalone soaking tub, and dual sinks. Two additional rooms and another full bathroom with a shower ensure everyone has space and privacy.
Explore the beautiful surrounding landscape by enjoying direct access to the Pedernales River, or explore some of the best local wineries in the area, including Hawks Shadowy Estates, BEll Springs, 12 Fox Beer, and TX Hill Country Olive Co.
Conveniently located just an hour from Downtown Austin, Sotol invites you to experience the perfect balance of outdoor beauty and spacious design at a retreat that seamlessly combines luxury and nature. Your ideal getaway awaits.
