About This Home

At $884,000, 139 Ware Drive is priced roughly $250 per square foot — the lowest in the Ruby Ranch active market - where comparable homes are listed at $300+ per square foot. Translation: you're getting more home and more amenities than anything else available in the community at this price point. The numbers tell the story. Approximately 3,531 square feet. Four bedrooms, three full baths. Over an acre. Gated section. Pool and spa. Outdoor kitchen. Single-story floor plan. And a complete 2023–2025 renovation package that includes a new architectural shingle roof, updated mechanical systems, refreshed interior finishes, and a new garage door — the big-ticket items already handled, before you ever move in. Inside, the home lives the way buyers actually want it to. An open floor plan flows from the GE Cafe-equipped kitchen into the main living and dining areas, with natural light throughout and flexible rooms that adapt to a home office, media room, gym, or guest suite. Every bedroom is on one level. Every primary living space connects to the outdoors via large windows and multiple French doors. Outside is where Ruby Ranch earns its reputation. The pool and spa, full outdoor kitchen, fire pit and shaded seating areas turn the backyard into a private resort. The acre-plus corner lot delivers beautiful space, and evenings here are quiet, dark, and full of stars — something almost no home inside Austin's commute radius can offer. Compare it to the rest of the active/sold inventory in Ruby Ranch and the math is clear: more square footage than 744 W Bartlett for nearly the same price. Nearly the same square footage as 130 Richards Drive for $90,000 less. A lower price-per-square-foot than every single-story listing in the community. And the only option in the gated section with over 3,500 square feet and a pool. Zoned to top-rated Hays CISD schools and just 30 minutes from downtown Austin, easy access to Driftwood, Dripping Springs, I-35, 45SW Toll, MoPac, SH130 Toll.
