Thank you and, you're welcome! See you when you win the lottery! 🍻 -Chris

Fair enough, and that's what I love about most of my audience... Even when it's not your cup of tea, the ability to recognize something as beautiful. Thanks for watching! -Chris

Wow, that's a really interesting data point and completely opposite my experience. But, different experiences definitely exist. And, yeah Drip is dry, it's on the edge of a huge desert. 🤣 Sorry for your bad experience, hopefully you found a home somewhere that's perfect for you! -Chris

I absolutely love that memory, thank you for sharing it!!! And, yes, the good ol' days❤❤❤❤ -Chris

Sounds like a really nice place, but yep, you're right. Acreage and fewer people is just a different kind of life -Chris

Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's truly a beautiful area and town! Make sure to get off the highways as soon as you can...I suggest 1826 to driftwood and then either Elder Hill to 12 or 150 down to the Old Kyle highway and then into Wimberley. Get there early if you want to walk around so you can find parking. There's a lot with bathrooms near the square and across the road from my friend Alicia's boutique "My Happy Place." Have a great time!! -Chris

Fair point, but, overall, Texas is just below the median cost of living for the US. So, even though we have the high tax rates on property, it's still cheaper to live here than most other places in the US. Now, if we stop wasteful spending at the local and county levels, we could get that cost of living even lower 💪💪💪💪 -Chris

🤣🤣🤣 I always tell them, everything in Texas will bite, sting or poke you. And some will do all three 🤣 Thanks for watching and the comment!

Definitely a lot of steps, but I'd like to think, as I get older, the steps would keep me in shape 🤣 Thanks for watching!! -Chris

There are definitely more houses with more on the way, but there's still plenty of peace and quiet for those looking for that❤️❤️ Thanks for watching!! -Chris

I get the concern, for sure. But I will say, I feel there are some really good safeguards in place to prevent that. I hope I'm right

I just want to make sure I understand what you're asking, and yes, I'm more than happy to! Are you considering buying new construction as a rental investment for yourself?

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!

It really is amazing!!!

I really love it too! Thanks for watching! -Chris

Sometimes I'm truly shocked that humans ever survived for as long as we did without concrete walkways too 🤔 -Chris

I think it was done very thoughtfully as well. Obviously it's not for every life situation but, it's still truly a remarkable home. Thank you for watching and commenting! -Chris

@livinginaustintx If I was younger, I would jump on it. But, at 81 I will stay here in the Rancher. Only 1.8 acres but a lovely place to be. Thank you again for showing such a lovely place for sale and worth every penny and more.

It truly is a special place and affordability for properties like this is definitely tough, for sure. Dream property for both of us! -Chris

Thanks for watching. Maybe the next one will blow your socks off🍻 -Chris

Ok, dude. Thanks for your thoughts, and thanks for watching! -Chris

Thanks for watching! I personally make them for a few reasons (none of which are the sensationalized thumbnails my editors insist on.) But the main one is to try and tell the real story about what Austin is, and it ain't for everyone. And this video, specifically, is to prevent people from moving here if it's not for them. Pretty odd, huh, a greedy damn used car salesman Realtor trying to keep people from moving to an area? And yes, I had a couple of pretty good years during covid, but you know who made more money? The sellers I helped cash in as well as just about anyone else in a service based economy during that time. But what I'd encourage you to do is friend me on FB and go look at what my content was like during that time and who I spent the vast majority of that time helping. If you've been here since 86, we'd probably get along really well...reach out, let's go grab a coffee or a beer🍻 -Chris

Thanks for watching, Donna! And, oddly enough, it STILL hasn't sold! Sounds like you're in paradise! 🍻 - Chris

@@livinginaustintx // thanks for letting me know. I have some family wanting to move out this way. I'll let them know.

@Donna-vh5ym Perfect! And if I can be of any help to them, reach out! -Chris

Good luck! And if you need any more help, just let me know!! -Chris

There might be a reason I focus on the suburbs in this series. 😎🍻 Thanks for watching! -Chris

Lol, well, I guess that's how art goes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Thank you! I think so too! And I appreciate you watching 🥰 -Chris

Me too, me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching! -Chris

Why would that be? Personal experience? Thanks for watching! -Chris

So, if you had $1M to spend on a lot like this, what would you expect from the house? -Chris

For that kind of money I would still expect more of a house no disrespect

@@susietruelove3657 Oh no, none taken. Was just curious what you'd want to see for that money 🍻-Chris

Thank you, Mrs Wright, your son's honor is now safe🤣🤣🤣🤣 In as much as it's hanging out over the water, though, is very reminiscent of FLW waterfall house. At least to me, but thanks for watching! 🍻-Chris

Yep, living on acreage is definitely not for everybody. And it's a lot of work to keep trees looking right. Thanks for watching! 🍻-Chris

I mean, in a fairy tale, there's not need for cleaning and storage. That's what all the birds and woodland creatures are for!! 🤣 Thanks for watching 🍻-Chris

It really is a great place! Thanks for watching!! -Chris

Where did you end up? I moved, but just out to Dripping Springs. Love it here!

@@livinginaustintx I moved to Florida. Nice here, too but I miss the great bar-b-q.

Oof, yep, most parts of Florida are really nice but I wouldn't trust the barbecue at all 🤣🍻

@@livinginaustintx I've only found a few places that do it decent, but not great, not like in Texas. One place (Bubbaques) claims they smoke their brisket but it has no smoke flavor nor a smoke ring. Tastes like it came out of a regular oven with no seasoning, it's just bland as can be. I do my own better than most places around here.

😔😔😔 oh nooooooo, that sounds HORRIBLE

Let me know, I'll schedule a showing 😉 -Chris

It's a dry heat🤣🤣🤣🤣 -Chris

Understandable reaction. So, if you were going to spend over a million, what would your view be? Thanks for watching! -Chris

🤣 Hey dude, no. I've been here since 99. Not as long as some, but I've damn sure been here long enough to criticize what I've seen happen to the town. There's still good here as well, but it deserves to have the truth told about it. 🍻-Chris

Hi Linda, thanks for watching and asking! The literal translation from spanish means small house. We tend to call second, detached, smaller living units casitas. Other names would be accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or, I've even heard "Granny Flat" here lately, to mean a mother in law's quarters Thanks again! -Chris
