8803 Bear Creek Drive

Welcome to 8803 Bear Creek Drive, a serene retreat just 25 minutes from downtown Austin, offering the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and convenience. The "Double Z Ranch" is a nature lover's paradise, nestled on 2.52 picturesque acres. The property features a 1,789 SQ FT main house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed to bring the outdoors in with abundant natural light and unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen is equipped with new stainless-steel appliances, while gorgeous stained concrete floors add warmth and character. The open layout and outdoor living space create an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. The light-filled primary bedroom offers views, while the en-suite bathroom features a walk-in shower with a transom window, dual vanities, dual walk-in closets, and a wall of built-in storage. The laundry room is well-equipped with a utility sink, built-in storage cabinets, and a convenient door to the back deck. The converted garage includes an herb shop, while an office with a separate entrance offers the perfect space for working from home or creative pursuits. Over 100 mature live oaks provide shade, while a peaceful wet weather creek known as "Little Bear Creek" winds through the property, accompanied by quiet trails lined with cedar elms, Texas wild persimmons, and vibrant wildflowers that bloom in spring. A highlight of the property is the 4,000 SQ FT garden, once home to echinacea, antique roses, and sunflowers, with a chicken coop and a 2,500-gallon rain barrel. The garden and trails have served as spaces for herbalism classes, quiet reflection, and a deep connection to nature. The owners have cherished this sanctuary for its natural beauty, seclusion, and the joyful drive along Bear Creek Drive, where serenity greets you at every turn. With its combination of peaceful country living and proximity to Austin’s vibrant downtown, this home is a rare gem ready to inspire its next owners.
