1302 Pasaguarda Dr, Austin, TX 78746

On a rare flat lot in beloved Rolling Hills West, this limestone single-story ranch style house offers the opportunity for homeowners to dream big in every way. Built in 1980 and cared for by the current owner since 1996, the home is 2,649 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths—and because the home is set in the middle of the large usable lot, it’s the perfect footprint for a new owner to build up or build out with a low 1.4% property tax rate and Travis County restrictions for remodeling or rebuilding. In addition to the beauty of the lot, the conveniences it provides are highly sought after in the Westlake community. It is in very close proximity to award-winning schools Cedar Creek Elementary, Hill Country Middle School, and Westlake High School. It is also within walking distance to the Westbank Community Library and beloved shops and restaurants like Texas Honey Ham, Trianon Coffee, Breed & Co., and Barton Springs Nursery. Although these community treasures are just a stone’s throw away, the home’s location also provides the chance at private luxury at a desired address. The home is plumbed for gas, and although currently on septic, a city sewer line has been run and the house can easily be connected with a permit and payment of a tap fee to the city of Austin A new HVAC and furnace were installed in 2021, along with new Hardi-board and paint along the rear, and the septic was inspected and repaired. A termite inspection was performed last year, and no issues were found. This property is a rare find and will easily be transformed into a legacy property in the heart of Westlake.

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.
