KRDB Modern Waterfront on 6 Acres, Green as they get

$899,500
227 Turkey Drive, Dripping Springs, TX 78620

Serene and peaceful modern home on 295 feet of beautiful Pedernales River waterfront. Drought? What drought!! This water is clear and flowing strong. This is a serious modern house designed by KRDB with co-designer and custom fabricator Sallie Trout Design Studio. This house has been photographed and published in magazines and websites for its many utterly unique and brilliant design features. It's also an extremely green built home... we will put together a full green feature sheet but some of the main green features are: metal sheathed SIPS walls (yes metal not plywood), recycled Hurricane Katrina 1" Cypress siding, sustainable compressed wheat board cabinets, massive sun-blocking overhangs, passive solar designed floorplan and site orientation, R25 walls, R45 roof, Galvalume standing seam reflective metal roof, 15,000 gallon rainwater collection system...list goes on and on. House also has 44 foot lap pool, 1800 sf conditioned workshop or showcase garage and too many other features to list out here. And please quote me on this, there is absolutely positively no way to build this house on this high quality of waterfront for anywhere close to $236/sf.
