Welcome to the Yutori sanctuary, a Japanese-inspired Minka modern home and guest house, accompanied by an additional log cabin set among junipers and oaks on 10 acres in Driftwood, TX. Short-term rentals are allowed. Named "Yutori" after the Japanese practice of emphasizing a harmonious lifestyle with nature, slowing down to be reflective and find stillness. The Yutori compound includes 4 structures: the main house is a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom (1812 sqft), a guest house with 2 ensuite bedrooms and a living room (766 sqft), an original log cabin (1256 sqft), and a barn. The separation between homes allows parties to enjoy the property privately. The minka-modern homes, set at the back of the 10 acres, were crafted by Nolan Bell Studios in Austin, blending contemporary aesthetics and functional elegance. The exteriors use shou sugi ban, a Japanese wood charring method for weather, insect, and rot resistance. Inside, custom white oak finishes, including cabinets, millwork, paneling, and wardrobes, enhance the space. The chef's kitchen features Bosch appliances and Fisher & Paykel paneled refrigerator and dishwasher, creating a streamlined look. Ultra-premium natural stone surfaces, including breccia marble, limestone, soapstone, and granite, are used throughout. Luxury French white oak flooring adds warmth and sophistication. Bathrooms feature fabricated stone trough sinks, designer lighting, and tile for a cohesive, elegant look. Motorized roller shades, Newport Brass, and Riobel fixtures in polished nickel adorn the bath and kitchen. Level 5 wall finishes provide a flawless appearance, while an EV charger supports a sustainable lifestyle. Commercial-grade windows and doors offer durability and a sleek look, and solid-core interior doors provide soundproofing. A commercial-grade membrane roof and foam insulation ensure superior energy efficiency. 30 minutes to Austin and 15 minutes to Wimberley for all your necessities, shopping and entertainment. The owner has 2/5 years needed towards an Ag Exemption, which, if maintained, ensures future tax benefits.
