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)
- heat chimney (windows at the apex of the roof to let the hot air out)
- detached garage (keep any chemicals away from your living space)
- 1800 sf of porch space (great shading for the windows)
- 16,000 gallon rainwater collection system
- metal roof (reflective roofing keeps your home cooler)

This home is located at 162 Branding Iron, Smithville, TX
Listed at $
6.6 acres
1656 SF
3 bedrooms, 2 baths
Greenhouse with sink
Great character!

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.

Built by Casa Verde Builders on over 4 peaceful acres, this home features a 15,000 gallon rainwater collection and storage system, and walls made of aerated concrete block (Read below for details on that).

This home is located just south of Circle C Ranch... meaning it's really close to the new Alamo Drafthouse on Slaughter! (I'm partial).

Additional features include bamboo and wool carpet flooring, low water landscaping, solar water heating, low/no VOC paints, hvac duct work is within the insulated space (you are not cooling your attic), double paned windows, low flow toilets and more.

Lake Austin Modern Green










Built by local architect and builder Kelly Ramsey in 2008, this modern green home has the feeling of 'Architectural Digest' all around in addition to hill country views and top rated Lake Travis ISD schools. The neighborhood also has access to Lake Austin for boating and fishing.

The mix of stone, stucco, metal and wood combined with a tree centered courtyard present a peaceful place to call home.

What is so green?

Separate Garage: The garage is separated from the main home by a covered walkway keeping toxic car fumes and all of those cleaning chemicals away from your living and sleeping space. (I know you did not mean to buy those but you really needed them, right?)

Minimal carpeting: Carpeting not only has a very short life-span, it is also often made of harmful materials that off-gas in your home when installed. Add that to the glues used to hold things down, and that 'who knows whats in it' carpet pad, and you have a mixture for really lousy air quality. Carpeting is also hard to clean, often harboring dirt and mold for yours truly to breathe.

Orientation and Cross-Breeze: The home is oriented up on a hill to take advantage of breezes coming from the south and east. The placement of windows allows for a breeze to easily come into the home and provide fresh air.

Low VOC Paints and Cabinets: Low VOC paints and sealers are ideal because they have less harmful chemicals. The end result is better air quality.

Drought Tolerant Yard: Drought resistant landscaping and plenty of trees means that you can save water and time. The plants are suitable for the climate and won't need a lot of extra attention or water. Raised garden beds for gardening gives you a great opportunity to have fresh vegetables and fruits just steps away with a very efficient gardening technique.

Energy Star appliances: When appliances are rated by Energy Star it means that they are going to use less energy than a traditional appliance and will provide you with lower bills.

This 3 bed 2 1/2 bath home features a 3rd story studio/ office and is currently for sale at $395,000.

1303 Yorkshire- Delwood Green Home in Austin

Sweet Green home in popular Delwood- Northeast Austin.

1303 Yorkshire
3 bed 2 bath
1381 sf
$219,900

7 short blocks to the popular Nomad Bar or Corona Cafe coffee shop and only a quick 12 blocks to the fabulous trails at Mueller (5 miles of trails and 140 ares of community space), and the Dell Childrens Hospital. Also an easy walk to Bartholomew Park.

This efficient green home provides a big bang for your buck. You can keep your footprint small, and still get the space you need with this 3 bedroom ranch. Green features include a tankless water heater, all hard surface flooring (great for air quality- wood and tile only), double pane pella windows, updated hvac, energy star appliances, and a great orientation for solar panels.

I was pleasantly surprised touring through, by some thoughtful upgrades. Accent tile in the bathrooms and kitchens instead of just your standard tile, pull out shelving in the kitchen cabinet, and a huge pantry/indoor laundry. One other neat feature is that the garage opens on both front and back- providing an ideal covered outdoor entertainment area open to the back yard. (oh, I can see some comfy outdoor seating here!)

Why is Delwood so popular? Access to Downtown and UT is one factor, the new Mueller development nearby, a great stock of mid century ranch homes, a surge of artsy folks moving into the area, and of course, some great prices.

4417 Sinclair- Green Home in Rosedale

4 Bedrooms
2 Bathrooms
2400 SF
$699,000
(hitting the market soon!)




To get a green home in Central Austin, you'll want to consider homes that have been renovated and updated green. This home on Sinclair in the heart of Rosedale is a really great example of a "greenovated" Central Austin home.

Impeccable attention to detail and tasteful, unique updates are evident everywhere you look. From the art deco style vents, to the waterfall kitchen counter feature, it is a classy blending of the traditional existing home with a open modern expansion adding more square footage for the family. The home offers a huge screened porch and a wall of windows that lets the outdoors in. Custom stone cut accent walls and wood floors provide a balanced combination of natural materials for a refreshing space. Another unique feature are the floors on the addition. Concrete was blended with custom aggregate to give this flooring a terrazzo tendency as opposed to traditional stained concrete.

After being 'wowed' by all of the updates, you'll be 'sold' by all of the green features! 3.8 KW Solar Panel System, Spray foam insulation in the attic, Marvin integrity double pane low e windows, and a 3 zone 15 SEER hvac system will keep your bills down. There is no carpeting in the home which will improve your air quality, as well as a Rinnai tankless water heater to keep things running efficiently. I could go on and on about the features of this home, but suffice to say that the owners spared no expense in really doing it right! You'll need to see it to really appreciate what they've done.

Being located in central Austin also puts this home close to so much. Walking distance to Central Market, Ramsey Park and Pool as well as numerous cafe's, shops and restaurants right nearby.

6812 Joyce- Green Home in Allandale


Thanks for your patience in seeing the next home, everyone! I was down with the flu, big-time and my daughter got it too. It made me realize that I probably want to get a flu shot next year. There it is for the record- you heard it here.

6812 Joyce, 3 bed, 2 bath, 1706 sf, $469,000

This next house is a real gem. Green homes in Austin come in all shapes, sizes and ages. This one is a brand new, craftsman style, in a great close-in location. Utilizing in-fill, or building on a single lot to get a close location, is great green feature. It reduces sprawl, and allows a home-owner to be closer to the things they need- like the office downtown. The builder worked with a designer, and it really shows. The space has amazing flow and lots of light. When you walk in you can just see a glimpse of the living room (very nicely staged by the way), and then the sun filled dining room and back porch. It really draws you in. There are a number of thoughtful features- from the beadboard ceiling entrance, to the outdoor speakers on the back porch. This home got a 2 star rating from the City of Austin's green building program, and is located in a cool North Central Austin Neighborhood.

What else is great about this green home? The location of course. Allandale features easy access to shopping on Burnet road as well as being the center for the huge and popular Northwest Park. You are also just a hop, skip and jump to the Sun Harvest food store, coffee shops and the Alamo Drafthouse (I am a big fan!) all up on Anderson Lane. Did you also know that you can bike along the shoal creek greenbelt all the way to downtown? I have not ridden it myself, but it's on the list. Have any of you done this ride?

5106 Maulding Pass


Green homes are popping up all around Austin and there is nothing I like more than someone who has improved on an existing home. How would you like an average utility bill of $36? Me too! This adorable Southwest Austin green home is updated with some great bells and whistles. Native landscaping, rainwater collection and solar panels are the first things to catch your eye as you drive up to this 1504 sf beauty tucked away in Westcreek. Once you come inside, you'll see that they weren't just practical, they also had a good eye for design and style. They updated this home with energy efficient double pane Anderson windows (very classy with additional detailing), thermal shield radiant barrier, high efficiency toilets, and recent insulation and hot water heater. They also kept the carpet limited to the bedroom areas.

The yard is a little shallow, and they took care of this issue as well! They planted a bamboo privacy buffer to give the patio a feeling of lush greenery and installed a second seating area. For you bamboo buffs, I think it was the clumping variety- I didn't see it sprouting elsewhere in the yard, but you'll want to verify with the seller on that.

My frugal genes also love this home because the pricing is right in line with other homes in the area. Get there quick, it is sure to be snatched up fast!

Nestled in a hip walk around neighborhood, this place has plenty going for it. Not the least of which is the proximity to Thunderbird Coffeehouse and the Dart Bowl Bowling Alley (White Russians anyone?) A great new look on an older home, this home was remodeled and expanded a number of years ago, and they did an excellent job in creating a flowing open layout. Wood and tile floors make for better air quality, and there is also great low water landscaping around the home as well as large shade trees.

Looking for modern with a great sense of style and design detail? DWELL here we come! You'll be impressed all the way from the steel modern art mailboxes to the gourmet Miele appliances. With a thoughtful and useful live-work layout, this 2,295 square foot place feels airy and full of light. In fact, just walk inside and you'll want to sit down and stay a while. The main entry floor hosts an office space with full bath. It could be a convenient guest room, but for many folks working from home, this is the ideal office environment. Enough separation from your home to allow for maximum privacy, and the convenience of having your office nearby without the high overhead.

The builders definitely did not cut corners in the style and design department and they received a 4 Star Green Rating from the City of Austin!

16007 Rustic Lane


This Round Rock cutie has great curb appeal and sidewalks galore. You can easily walk to Exemplary-rated Great Oaks Elementary School and the neighborhood park & community center. Besides a good location, the 2,360 square foot property welcomes you with a solid wood front door and rich wood flooring. A gourmet island kitchen with brick accents, high ceilings, skylights, an open family room, walk-in closets, and a covered patio make this house a fabulous home!

Green features include: cellular shades (they look like honeycombs, and are one of the most insulating shades around), double-paned Anderson windows, solar screens, a tankless water heater, 14 SEER HVAC (very high efficiency), and absolutely no carpet.

Having floors that are easy to keep clean can improve indoor air quality. Be sure to use natural products for cleaning! If you choose to make this 4/2 your home, I recommend upgrading some of the counters to solid surface counters. Particle board found in laminate countertops can off-gas formaldehyde. There are some nice eco-friendly counter options at Lowe's made of 75% recycled materials, and they look really sharp!
