Smithville Texas Green Home- New Price!

Smithville is a small town surrounded by farms and rolling tree covered hills. Right nearby is the Lost Pines area including the town of Bastrop, and the Hyatt Lost Pines resort.

Recent Price Reduction to $339,500.


Just a short jaunt outside of Austin and nestled in the relaxing pine forests, this home emanates peaceful energy and thoughtful green design.  This little oasis is nestled on a large culdesac lot in a neighborhood which is also a dedicated wildlife sanctuary.

For me,  the pine smell reminds me of the mountains, as in 'magical mountains of Colorado' smell.  It's such a great scent, and it brings to mind hiking and birds and open sky and breathing.

You can find many green homes around Austin, but it's rare to find one which has utilized so much of the local landscape - the stair railing was created from trees on the lot, and the stucco siding was site mixed using the local soil.  The home feels so good and natural and right. I can just feel healthier being in this home. It's amazing. (no I am not the listing agent, just a total geek when it comes to natural building).

Green Info:
- structure is faswall concrete block
- solid surface flooring (bamboo and stone)

4718 Depew - North Central Austin Green Home Coming Soon!

Coming Soon!!
4718 Depew, Austin TX
3 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, 1700 sf, $459,000



This sharp little green home blends right in with the neighborhood cottages, even though it was built in 2004!

You'll find many custom details throughout the home, and a very thoughtful usable design.    With just 1700 square feet, you have 2 living areas, a dining area, breakfast bar, office nook, and 3 well sized bedrooms and bathrooms. But wait, there is also a built in work area!  The usefulness the space offers is amazing considering the small footprint of the home.  Great job on the design!

The outdoor space is also well done. Comfortable front porch and yard, and a side porch off of the dining area expands the living space into the outdoors.

Green Features Include:
Low water landscaping, metal roof, efficient design, recycled materials, cork and bamboo floors, sips panel construction, geothermal hvac, low/no voc paints and finishes, high efficiency windows, and conservative footprint.

Location is fabulous. Just down the road from the elementary school and walking distance to many things. The light rail line is nearby, and you'll feel like you're in the urban core as you watch it zip by while you relax on your front porch.  No worries though, the light rail is quiet, and the home is so well insulated, that you may as well be off in the country somewhere.

Contact me for more details and to set up a tour! This home is not yet listed on the MLS.

Enjoy-
Stay tuned and stay green!
