203 Buckeye Trl, West Lake Hills, TX 78746

This is one of those rare homes that checks every box—and then some. Set on 1.55 acres in West Lake ten minutes from downtown, 203 Buckeye offers a front-row seat to the Austin skyline from every room in the house, including the pool and backyard.

You’re in the best school district in Texas—Eanes ISD. Kids can walk or bike to Eanes Elementary or Trinity Episcopal School.

The house itself was built by Michael Johnson of Johnson Powers Builders, with interiors by Rachel Mast Designs. Five bedrooms, five and a half baths, and just over 6,400 square feet. The main level has the gourmet kitchen, open living and dining areas, primary suite, gym, ensuite guest bedroom, home office, and garage—everything you need for daily living without ever going downstairs. But when you do…

Downstairs is a huge walk-out area with three more bedrooms, three baths, a big game room, and plenty of space that opens up right to the pool and the backyard. And the yard? It’s flat—super rare for a lot with downtown views like this.

Outdoor covered patios on both levels make it easy to entertain, relax, or take in the view. Whether you're sipping coffee enjoying a sunrise, or enjoying a glass of wine while watching the city come to life as the sun goes down, this house gives you the best seat in town.

Few homes in West Lake Hills combine a full Downtown Austin skyline view with a flat 1.55-acre lot, and 203 Buckeye Trl does both at $9.50 million, or $1,483 per square foot. Set in Westlake Hills in West Lake Hills, TX 78746, this 6,406 square foot single-family residence was built in 2015 and gives buyers something this part of Travis County rarely delivers at the same time: long city views, usable outdoor space, and a main-level layout that works for everyday living.

The house has 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 1 half bath, a pool, 1 fireplace, and a 2-car garage. The main floor carries the core of the home, with the primary suite, kitchen, living and dining areas, office, and guest space on one level. That matters in a hillside market where many view properties push too much of daily life up and down stairs. The lower level opens directly to the backyard and pool, which makes the outdoor space feel connected instead of separate.

Location is a major part of the value here. 203 Buckeye Trl sits in Eanes ISD, with Eanes Elementary, Hill Country Middle School, and Westlake High School assigned. Eanes ISD remains one of the strongest public school districts in the Austin area, and that school draw continues to support long-term demand in West Lake Hills. Trinity Episcopal School is also close by for families considering private school options.

From this address, Downtown Austin is about 10 minutes away in typical light traffic. Bee Cave Road, Redbud Trail, and Loop 360 give you multiple ways to move through Westlake and into central Austin. That puts Zilker Park, Lady Bird Lake, and the business core near Congress Avenue within easy reach, while still keeping the quieter residential feel that draws buyers to West Lake Hills in the first place. You get the skyline in front of you without giving up proximity to everyday Austin.

For buyers asking what it is like to live at 203 Buckeye Trl, the answer is simple: you get view-driven luxury, real land, top public schools, and fast access to the city in one of the most established neighborhoods in West Lake Hills. In a market where usable acreage and skyline views almost never line up this cleanly, this is the kind of property that should continue to stand out for both lifestyle and long-term value.

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.
