5 Star Green in Cedar Creek

Home Details

This green home for sale outside of Austin is a gem!  Located on over 2 acres just 10 minutes from the Austin airport and 10 minutes to the adorable and growing Bastrop (OMG, so cute).  The location is ideal for commuting to either area while still providing a peaceful getaway experience. This green home is located in a horse-friendly neighborhood as well. The neighborhood also features a lake with fountain and community playground. Hyatt Lost Pines Resort, McKinney Roughs Nature Park and the Colorado River are just a few minutes away.

The home received a 5 star out of 5 stars rating from the City of Austin, which has one of the most comprehensive green rating systems in the country.  The rating system is specifically geared to take the local climate into account.  Built in 2003, the owners carefully crafted the home considering local materials as well as the climate and home positioning on the lot. It’s not just energy efficiency that was considered, however, they also used durable long-lasting materials and no-voc/ low-voc paints and sealers for better air quality.
