171 Ferdinand Ct, Austin, TX 78737

Drive through the keypad-gated entrance and by the time you turn onto Ferdinand Court, the shift in pace is already noticeable. The home sits well back on 2.49 acres, with mature oaks filling in on both sides and undisturbed greenbelt behind — no rear neighbors, and no neighboring home has a direct sightline into this property. Privacy at this level is genuinely hard to find this close to Austin. A gate at the rear of the property connects directly to the greenbelt preserve, and a wet-weather creek flows through the far end of the lot during the cooler months — a quality to the setting that listing photos simply can't convey. The yard behind the pool is flat and open with enough room for a sports court. Throughout the house, the windows were upgraded beyond the floor plan specification — measurably larger — and the effect on natural light is one of those things that registers only in person. The four-car garage divides into two separate bays, each with its own interior door into the house. Ceiling height accommodates a lifted truck — not a given in production-built homes at any price. The utility room off one bay has a sink and built-in cabinetry. Natural gas service runs to the property, less common on acreage lots in this corridor than most buyers expect. The covered rear patio was extended well past the builder standard and anchors on a stone outdoor fireplace. A tiled second-floor balcony overlooking the greenbelt is an upgrade most homes in this community didn't receive. Inside, the main level runs hardwood throughout into a two-story family room with a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace; the kitchen includes double wall ovens, a gas cooktop, and a butler pantry with wine fridge. A dedicated workout room on the main level has its own full bath and private exterior entry — accessible from outside the main house and suitable for conversion to a nanny suite, guest quarters, or private space for extended family. Gated community. Pool and spa. 2.49 acres.
