Forty-foot oak and pecan trees frame 1.63 acres of uninterrupted Hill Country privacy on Fitzhugh Road in Austin's 78736 zip code, yet you're minutes from Jester King Brewery, Treaty Oak Distilling, and Fitzhugh Brewing. This is the rare property where seclusion doesn't mean isolation.

The primary residence spans 1,992 square feet across two bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, anchored by beamed ceilings that draw the eye upward and recessed lighting that softens the Hill Country light throughout the day. A gas range commands the kitchen while smart home wiring and data infrastructure thread through the spaces, bridging rural tranquility with modern connectivity. The primary bedroom sits on the main floor, and the open living areas flow naturally toward the uncovered courtyard and wraparound porches that define entertaining on this property. At $398 per square foot, you're pricing roughly 40% below comparable West Lake Hills properties while gaining substantially more land and privacy.

The secondary structure changes everything. At 648 square feet with its own full bathroom and kitchenette, this guest house functions as a revenue stream, an executive office for remote work, or simply the retreat you disappear into. The open layout accepts whatever purpose you assign it. An RV hookup on the property adds another layer of utility that Hill Country acreage rarely accommodates.

Outside, intentional gathering spaces ripple across the land. Front porch. Back patio. Side yards anchored by mature trees and automatic sprinklers that handle the Texas heat. The lot's scale means your neighbors aren't at your fence line. They're somewhere beyond those forty-foot oaks.

Oak Hill Elementary, Small Middle School, and Bowie High School serve the area through Austin ISD, with Highway 290 expansion making the commute to downtown increasingly manageable for those who need to thread between both worlds.

At 29 days on market, this property sits at the intersection of Hill Country escape and practical versatility. Wedding venue proximity, guest house income potential, or simply the space to breathe without neighbors hearing you breathe.
