Ten acres of unincorporated Travis County land with a private waterfall, canyon views across three ridges, and a fully operational residence at 1002 Jousting Pl in Camelot Section 03 represents one of the last major acreage opportunities west of Austin's urban core. The 2,254 square foot home sits on 2.645 acres of heavily treed terrain with mature oaks exceeding 40 feet, a sloped topography that creates natural privacy barriers, and seasonal creek systems that feed a working waterfall feature on the property. The main residence features a primary suite with wall-mounted windows framing unobstructed canyon views, while separate bedrooms each include private balconies overlooking the greenbelt. The pool and hot tub occupy the elevated deck section, positioned to capture western exposure for sunset viewing across the canyon system.

Interior finishes include a recently updated kitchen with discrete appliances, walk-in closets throughout, and ceiling fans for climate control across the carpet and tile flooring. A detached air-conditioned workshop and two-car garage provide functional workspace separate from the living quarters, critical for the property's documented $70,000 annual short-term rental income. High-speed fiber internet connectivity supports remote work without dependence on cellular infrastructure. The manual and partial sprinkler systems maintain the landscaping across the irregular lot, which descends gradually toward the eastern boundary where the waterfall and creek drainage systems operate year-round.

Location positioning places 1002 Jousting Pl approximately 12 minutes from downtown Austin via Ranch Road 2222 corridor, though subject to Eanes ISD zoning and unincorporated Travis County regulations rather than City of Austin jurisdiction. This classification delivers significantly lower property tax rates and minimal development restrictions compared to properties within city limits. Forest Trail Elementary, West Ridge Middle School, and Westlake High School serve the subdivision. The surrounding Camelot community maintains lower density residential character due to the acreage-based lot structure.

The property trades at $1,331 per square foot against the main structure, though the true asset concentration lies in the 2.645 acres themselves. Unrestricted by typical municipal codes, the land supports expansion, agricultural use, or alternative residential configurations. The canyon view protection through greenbelt designation and the permanent water features create enduring landscape security. The combination of functional rental income history, established outdoor infrastructure, and unencumbered acreage positions this as both a lifestyle property and a land banking opportunity in West Austin's most constrained geographic zone.

Westlake Hills is an incorporated city in Austin's 78746 ZIP code, five minutes west of downtown via Bee Caves Road. Eanes ISD - ranked #1 in Texas by Niche 2026 - draws most buyers. Median home price $2.4M, with estates from $1.2M updates to $10M+ hilltop compounds.

Roughly 1,000 total homes sit on wooded lots averaging half an acre to two acres, spread across the hills south of the Colorado River. Lost Creek, Davenport Ranch, The Oaks, and Bee Caves Woods each have a different character - from 1970s ranches on established lots to new-build Hill Country Contemporary estates with 20-foot ceilings and limestone facades.

The housing stock is in a generational transition. Original 1970s-80s ranch homes sell as teardowns at $1-2M for land alone, replaced by $3-8M contemporary builds. At any given time, 25-30 homes are actively listed. Inventory is tight, and a meaningful share of deals happen off-market through agent networks.

What defines daily life here: morning coffee at Swedish Hill, school drop-off at Eanes Elementary or Bridge Point, a trail run at Wild Basin Preserve, and dinner at Sway or Las Palomas without crossing MoPac. This is a quiet neighborhood built around schools and outdoor access, not nightlife or walkable retail. The people who live here chose it for exactly that trade-off.
