Woodcreek Real Estate: A Romantic Destination for Nature Lovers
Living in Woodcreek offers a study in contrasts. Nestled in Wimberley Valley near Cypress Creek and the Blanco River, Woodcreek is surrounded by pristine nature, abundant wildlife and the beautiful scenery of the Texas Hill Country. Although known for its charming country lifestyle, Woodcreek is only about 45 minutes south of Austin and less than an hour from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.
It’s truly the best of both worlds. Austin is famous as a city of casual elegance with a legendary music scene, world-class shopping and dining, and – increasingly – a dynamic technology industry. Woodcreek is Austin’s quiet, thoughtful cousin where residents appreciate making their home in a tranquil, peaceful community. Neighbor to the quaint, historic town of Wimberly, Woodcreek real estate owners enjoy the same quality of life and cultural experiences that has made this area a mecca for artists and nature lovers.
“This is a quiet, quaint and naturally beautiful spot,” says Hunter Jones, manager of The Lodge at Cypress Falls. “Woodcreek is a destination town for people who love nature. “

The 18-hole course features 6,470 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 with a course rating is 70.9 and it has a slope rating of 116 on Bermuda grass.
