During early 1999 Tracy & I bought a lot from a builder on the Barton Creek Greenbelt in Lost Creek at Gaines Ranch in southwest Austin, Texas. After making some modifications to the house design we had the house built and moved to 5324 Magdelena Drive in May of 1999.
For several years after moving to Magdelena we had our office in Oakhill, a commercial area just 10 minutes from our house, so the location of the house proved very convenient with no traffic. We have enjoyed the quiet streets and nice neighbors of Lost Creek at Gaines Ranch, where we walk or bike each morning.
But one of the most enjoyable elements of living here is the location of the house on the Barton Creek Greenbelt. From our living room and dinning area we look out on a groomed area of greenbelt stretching to the trees in the distance. We enjoy the visual space of that view all day when we are in the house.
With our bird feeder in the back yard and the view to the north to the trees and hills beyond, we are content in our Austin home.
