This gorgeous 4390 square foot home lies on over half an acre and is a short distance from over 20 eateries and retail spaces! One of the best features of the location is the ability for kids to ride their bike to all 3 Eanes ISD schools: Cedar Creek Elem, Hill Country MS and Westlake HS. The home lies at the end of a culdesac and backs the largest lot of the community (5.15 acres) for maximum privacy. The home is built of local white limestone and sits proudly above street level.

Once in the kitchen you are struck by the size of the center island fit for a home of this style and grandeur. The kitchen also features a large gas cooktop and flows seamlessly into the family room. Multiple doing options both inside and out! You will find a large office space just adjacent to the primary suite which would also make a nice nursery during baby’s first months or owner’s gym. A built-in desk allows for maximum flexibility of this multi-use space. The owners suite is generously sized and fit with plantation shutters and high ceilings. The spa-like bathroom boasts Carrara marble, large soaking tub and separate walk-in shower, private water closet and a huge closet cleverly divided in two. Moving upstairs you will find two bedrooms on one side of the landing and another bedroom and an oversized game room with wet bar on the other. This game room can easily be a 5th bedroom if needed and features en suite access to a full bathroom. One of the most desirable features is 0.546 acre lot and possibilities from pool and cabana to pickle ball and gardens.

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.
