2305 Trail Of Madrones, Austin, TX 78746

Completely remodeled and true to its mid-century roots, this warm Westlake home opens directly to an incredible view and a backyard that makes the property feel like a private retreat.

With four large bedrooms, including two en-suites, three and a half baths, two living areas, an expansive kitchen, and abundant storage, the home is polished, spacious, and easy to live in.

The bright and airy kitchen brings a clean, modern edge with Thermador appliances, custom maple cabinetry, and sleek terrazzo floors. Nearby, the living room adds warmth with a wood-burning fireplace, exposed beams, and white oak hardwood floors. An entire wall of windows and doors opens directly onto the outdoor entertaining space.

The nearly one-acre lot is the showpiece. The expansive fenced backyard now features a putting green and generous lawn space, creating an incredible setting for entertaining, playing, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The large private pool is ready for the warm Texas days with a generous 10 foot depth, while the entertainers’ deck is perfect for lazy afternoons or lively gatherings. Above it all, the wraparound balcony captures panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country, bringing together the home's architecture, outdoor spaces, and spectacular Westlake setting.

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.
