#1 Austin Board of Realtors Team 2024#1 Austin Board of Realtors Team 20244 bed, 3 bath, 4,521 sqft on 0.50 acres in Westlake Hills. Austin, TX 78746. $2,950,000. Austin ISD.
Some homes are about the house. This one is about the Austin experience you cannot recreate. Perched above Zilker Park with treetop views of the downtown skyline, this custom-built home sits in a one-of-a-kind location near the Rowing Dock, Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, Zilker Park, downtown, and South Lamar’s dining and entertainment.
Designed to embrace its elevated setting, the home is filled with natural light, warm custom wood built-ins, and flexible living spaces that invite gathering, reading, working, or simply taking in the view. The spacious kitchen offers abundant storage and workspace with an easy connection to the main living areas.
Built with long-term living in mind, the floor plan includes primary bedrooms on both the upper and lower levels. The lower-level primary bath features an accessible roll-in shower, adding comfort and function. The upper-level primary suite feels like a private retreat with skyline views, a fireplace, private balcony, and sitting room ideal for an office, library, or quiet escape.
Outdoor living is where this property truly separates itself. A wraparound main-level deck overlooks a beautifully landscaped xeriscape yard with a fountain and babbling brook water feature. Morning coffee, dinner with friends, downtown lights, birdsong, and park views all come naturally here.
Located in Austin ISD, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, character, nature, and city access. In a market where buyers have choices, this property stands apart because the setting is nearly impossible to duplicate.
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.
