The transaction has changed phases
328 Ringtail is under contract.
An accepted offer is a milestone, not autopilot. Inspection, repairs, appraisal, financing, title and contractual deadlines can all create new decisions before closing.
Diana's Under Contract guide explains the next phase from both the buyer and seller perspective, including what happens when the inspection finds something, the seller says no, the appraisal becomes an issue or the question crosses from negotiation into legal advice.
A Note from Diana
What I love about Ringtail.
I love the richness of the natural wood tones throughout this house, starting with the warm acacia floors. And the oversized garage, with more than 1,000 square feet, has room for the cars and what could be a great workshop.
My favorite moment is standing on the patio and looking out into the trees. It feels like a private sanctuary, a small forest of its own, and no one is looking back at you. That privacy is one of the best things about this home.
The floor plan is easy to live in and easy to adapt. The dining room could easily become an office. If you can picture it here, you can probably make it work.

The Whole Picture
Start with the combination.
One level. More than 3,500 square feet. Nearly half an acre. A deep three-car garage, a large working kitchen and trees behind the house. Ringtail brings a lot together.
Moving to Austin
First understand the house. Then understand where it sits.
Serene Hills sits between Lakeway and Bee Cave, with Highway 71 connecting the neighborhood to a fast-changing part of West Austin.
Backyard + Outdoors
The house is ready. The backyard is yours.
The covered patio and outdoor kitchen are already here. Beyond them is a large lawn with a wooded greenbelt and room to decide what comes next.
Value + Alternatives
Compare the home. Then compare the tradeoffs.
Ringtail's value is not a price-per-square-foot shortcut. The real comparison includes one-level utility, almost half an acre, a wooded rear setting, a 1,003-square-foot three-car garage, condition, upgrades and what the buyer would have to give up elsewhere.

01 / The Home
One level. A lot of house.
Ringtail has 3,563 square feet, all on one floor. The main living spaces feel generous, the bedrooms have good separation, and the back of the house opens naturally to the covered patio and yard.
02 / The Floor Plan
One level. And it really works.
The plan may be the best thing about Ringtail. All four bedrooms are on one floor, the primary suite has its own side of the house, and the kitchen, breakfast area and living room create one large central gathering space.
The living room is approximately 22'1" × 26'10", the kitchen is approximately 18'7" × 18', and the covered patio is approximately 19'2" × 19'2".

Original Floor Plan
Floor plan and dimensions are for reference. Buyers should independently verify measurements that are important to them.
03 / Upgrades Throughout
The details add up.
328 Ringtail has been thoughtfully customized throughout. Some upgrades are easy to see, like the acacia floors, plantation shutters and double-island kitchen. Others are the things you appreciate once you live in a house: better storage, pull-out drawers, electric shades, leaf-protected gutters and a garage with real depth.
Built for the hills west of Austin.
Fully stone-covered exterior, metal roof and gutters with leaf protection.
The deep homesite is more than 20,000 square feet and looks toward the greenbelt and detention pond, giving the house added separation.
Finished beyond the basics.
4½-inch plantation shutters by Southern Shutters Shades & Blinds throughout the house.
Electric shades are installed in the kitchen and primary bedroom, along with custom specialty doors at the utility room and pantry.
A serious working kitchen.
Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, double islands and wood cabinetry with custom pull-out drawers.
It is a big kitchen, but more importantly, it is a useful one.
Storage was designed in.
Every walk-in closet was designed by California Closets.
The laundry room has additional cabinetry and a Lazy Susan in the counter cabinet, while the mud area has custom cabinetry and a bench.
More thoughtful details.
The primary and guest bathrooms have upgraded fixtures and tile design.
Outside, the grilling area includes a refrigerator, sink and granite countertop.
This is a real three-car garage.
Extra-deep and extra-wide, with epoxy flooring.
The original plan shows approximately 1,003 square feet of garage area.
Upgrade information is provided for marketing purposes. Buyers should verify items that are important to their purchase.
04 / The Garage
Three cars. 1,003 square feet. Use it your way.
Ringtail's garage is extra-deep and extra-wide, finished with epoxy flooring and shown at approximately 1,003 square feet on the original plan. The scale gives you room to think beyond simply parking the cars.
Cars are only the beginning.
Daily drivers, bikes, lake gear, coolers, storage and the things you want close at hand without bringing them into the house.
Give the projects somewhere to live.
A workbench, tools, detailing supplies or the project that deserves more than a corner of the utility room.
The shortest commute possible.
Weights, bike, mats, mirrors and a speaker. Use the space when you want it, close the door when you do not.
For the car that does not go to H-E-B in the rain.
The weekend car gets a proper place of its own, protected, easy to access and ready when the road deserves it.
The practical point: three garage bays preserve options. Cars may be the headline, but the real feature is the extra space for storage, hobbies, projects, fitness or the vehicle you actually want to protect.
05 / The Backyard Advantage
A backyard that still gives you choices.
The covered patio and outdoor kitchen are already done. Beyond them is a large lawn with room to keep things simple or create something completely different.
Pool + Spa Vision
This is what the backyard can be.
A pool. A spa. Room to lounge, gather and still keep the greenbelt view. The space is already here. These renderings show how naturally it can all come together.

Behind the Backyard
Greenbelt behind. Space around you.
The backyard looks toward trees and open land rather than a conventional row of rear yards. That extra separation is part of what makes the setting feel different.
06 / Location
Serene Hills, at the hinge of Highway 71.
Serene Hills sits between Lakeway and Bee Cave, built out and surrounded by greenbelts and trails. Highway 71 connects it to a corridor of healthcare, shopping, conservation land and new destination development. Here is how the neighborhood compares, and what daily life around it looks like.
Why Serene Hills
A very specific West Austin choice.
It is smaller than the big master-planned communities, less club-dependent than gated golf neighborhoods, built out and surrounded by greenbelts and trails. It also sits right at the hinge between Lakeway and Highway 71.
A large lake-oriented master plan with extensive amenities. Serene Hills is smaller, quieter in scale and less resort-driven.
A newer master-planned community with significant amenity and builder presence. Serene Hills is built out and resale-driven.
Gated private-club living with a very different proposition. Serene Hills gives you substantial homes without making club life part of the equation.
Mature golf, lake and residential neighborhoods with a much wider range of ages and housing styles. Serene Hills is newer and more cohesive.
Westlake and Central West Austin lean harder on proximity and established prestige. Serene Hills offers more space, the hills west of Austin and Lake Travis nearby.

07 / Diana's Valuation Lens
Square footage is a data point. Not the pricing method.
Diana is a Texas Certified General Appraiser. Square footage matters, but it is only one part of a valuation. You cannot simply multiply a home's square footage by an average price per square foot and call that the value. For higher-end homes, see Diana's approach to luxury home appraisal.
One-story utility
More than 3,500 square feet on one level is a very different proposition from the same size spread over two or three floors.
Greenbelt position
The wooded rear setting creates separation that an interior homesite cannot reproduce.
Condition + upgrades
Acacia floors, plantation shutters, electric shades, California Closets, quality appliances, custom cabinetry, upgraded baths and thoughtful storage all contribute to how the house lives.
The alternatives
A buyer may compare Ringtail with another Serene Hills home, Rough Hollow, Lakeway, Spanish Oaks or something closer to town. That real-world choice matters more than a simple formula.
