Set on nearly 10 largely flat, usable acres in Eanes ISD, this Westlake estate offers rare scale, privacy, and downtown Austin view corridors just 10 minutes from the city’s core. With over 1,000 feet of spring-fed Bee Creek frontage and a natural setting that feels removed from everything, the property delivers both immediate livability and long-term flexibility.
The existing 5,400+ SF residence is designed for indoor-outdoor living, with more than 3,500 square feet of covered terraces, verandas, and courtyard spaces surrounding a resort-style pool and spa. In total, the structure encompasses over 10,000 square feet under roof, creating a much larger living experience than the interior square footage alone suggests.
Set on build-friendly terrain, the home provides a strong architectural foundation ready for selective modernization — allowing a buyer to move in comfortably while enhancing over time, without the pressure of a full rebuild.
Beyond the current improvements, elevated portions of the property offer optional expansion potential, additional structures, or future estate planning flexibility if desired. Subdivision configuration is possible (buyer to verify), adding another layer of long-term optionality while preserving its immediate function as a private, usable estate.
Nearly 10 acres this close to downtown — with flat land, water frontage, skyline exposure, and privacy — are increasingly difficult to replicate.

Neighborhood guide and local insights
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.
