Perched above a quiet, wooded landscape, this single-story home offers treehouse-style living in the heart of Westlake. A stone path leads past mature oaks to a grand front door, opening into a vaulted great room with beamed ceilings, built-in bookcases, and a native Edwards limestone fireplace. Large wood-framed windows—30 in total—fill the home with natural light and create a seamless connection between indoors and out. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with shaker-style cabinetry, black quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, and an oversized island ideal for entertaining. A cozy breakfast nook overlooks the treetops, while a separate dining room sets the stage for intimate gatherings. The flexible floor plan includes a second living area that can function as a game room or media space, plus three spacious secondary bedrooms perfect for guests, home offices, or creative studios. The light-filled primary suite is a serene retreat with private deck access, a walk-in closet, and an en suite bath. Step outside to discover a two-level deck with panoramic views of the lush landscape—ideal for relaxing or hosting. The lower backyard oasis includes a resort-style pool, Brazilian ipe wood decking, a pergola-covered hot tub area, and native limestone accents. A crushed granite path winds through the shaded yard to a private swing under a grand live oak. Enjoy exceptional privacy with greenbelt space in front and back, just 15 minutes from downtown Austin. This beautifully updated mid-century home delivers a rare blend of architectural character, eco-conscious upgrades, and an elevated lifestyle in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods.

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.
