Peaceful escape
Plenty of space for 8 of us. Saw several deer running the yard. Close to stores and coffee yet tucked away like you’re in the country. Enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
I'm a writer/cartoonist/screenwriter. I'm the co-creator/writer of the Over the Hedge comic strip. Also the writer/illustrator of the Odd Squad series for kids. I'm a graduate of UT and have lived in Texas for 35 years. Born in Minneapolis. Lived in Omaha, El Paso, Ft. Leavenworth, Ft. Benning, Waco, Austin, Houston and now Buda. My wife Kim is from Chicago and graduated from Stephens College. She made all the stain glass in the house.

Why they chose this property

This property is a Texas Heritage Ranch owned by my college roommates family. It was subdivided in the 90's. We bought the land and custom built the house after the purchase of the movie rights for Over the Hedge.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views. Secluded. Private. Lots of wildlife. Pond attracts all sorts of birds. The house has 35 double paned windows that let in the light. Can't see the neighbors. No development to the west due to water restrictions. Many custom features including cheery wood floors, cyprus moldings and ceilings and a custom carved mantlepiece. The railings and are all rough cut cedar. It's a one of a kind property.
