Perched on nearly half an acre in Hidden Mesa, this two-story residence was designed around the view - and the view earns it. A negative-edge pool with spa spills toward the horizon, framed by a Carvestone patio, a pergola, and a firepit built for long evenings and easy entertaining. Landscape lighting carries the setting well past sunset. Inside, the living room anchors the main floor with a fireplace and walls of glass that pull the patio, pool, and vistas into the room. Plantation shutters across the front of the home add polish and privacy, while solar screens and dual HVAC systems keep the entire house comfortable through a Texas summer. The island kitchen is built for people who actually cook: expansive granite counters, abundant cabinetry, a breakfast bar, stainless appliances including a Jenn-Air cooktop, GE Profile convection oven, Bosch dishwasher, and two microwaves - plus a dedicated workspace tucked into the design for menu planning, homework, or a laptop. The owner's suite is a genuine retreat, with a spa-caliber bath featuring an oversized shower with a Kohler wall panel, double vanity topped in quartzite, and a generous walk-in closet. A mini split was added to the bedroom for those who prefer to sleep cold - a small luxury you'll appreciate every night. A second bedroom offers its own ensuite bath and walk-in closet, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Five bedrooms and three and a half baths in all, with a spacious gameroom/loft upstairs and a large under-stairs storage area downstairs. Thoughtful upgrades run throughout: hot water recirculation, programmable blinds, an EV charger, and an Amazon delivery-enabled garage door opener on the three-plus car garage. Views, water, fire, and space to gather - 726 Mesa Ridge delivers the Hill Country lifestyle without asking you to compromise on comfort.
