Property Description

Rio Mesa sits at one of the higher elevations in Steiner Ranch, and this five-bedroom home takes full advantage of it — the canyon, greenbelt, and UT Golf Club stretch out in front of you from the main living spaces, kitchen, primary suite, and a custom second-story deck engineered specifically to capture those views without interrupting the sightlines from below. The main floor is organized around the views. Living spaces and the kitchen face the canyon and greenbelt, and the layout keeps the best exposures working for you throughout the day. The primary suite is also on the main level, with the same long views that define the home. Four and a half bathrooms across 3,428 square feet is a notable ratio — upstairs, four bedrooms are served by three full baths, a configuration that makes the home work well for larger households or frequent guests. A dedicated main floor office adds flexibility without pulling from the bedroom count. The second-story deck is worth noting on its own. It was custom designed to maximize the view corridor — canyon, greenbelt, golf course, and a direct line to the UT fireworks — while remaining visually recessed so it doesn't break the roofline or block sightlines from the kitchen and living room below. It's a thoughtful piece of design that makes the outdoor experience significantly better than a standard builder deck. The backyard is large and private, with mature screening and room to add a pool without compromising the lawn or green space. Just a short walk to Laura Welch Bush Elementary and Canyon Ridge Middle School, and on a quiet street that doesn't carry through traffic. A rare view home in an established part of Steiner Ranch, with the space, layout, and outdoor design to match what the setting offers.
