2809 Waterbank Cv, Austin, TX 78746

The true standout here is the finish-out. Thoughtfully curated by SLIC Design, the level of detail is difficult to capture in photos…from the flooring selections to the stonework, bath design, cabinetry and kitchen surfaces. The quality rivals anything in this price category. It’s refined, timeless, and executed in a way that will satisfy even the toughest buyer. The backyard is what Westlake buyers are constantly searching for but rarely find-usable, level space with room to truly live. Pool, spa, sport court, trampoline, covered patio, and generous yard space all come together to create a setting for both entertaining and everyday life. Inside, the floor plan offers exceptional flexibility. The main level features a private primary suite with nice views, direct pool access, a spa-like bath with sauna, and a custom walk-in closet. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Thermador appliances, separate built-in refrigerator and freezer, a butler’s pantry with additional dishwasher, and a secondary walk-in pantry. The open living area centers around a gas fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the outdoor living spaces. Also on the main level: a dedicated office with built-ins and beautiful natural light, formal dining, wet bar, powder bath, an oversized laundry room with sink and refrigerator, plus a secondary bedroom with en-suite bath-currently functioning as an incredible mud room space but easily converted back to a sixth bedroom if needed. Upstairs offers four spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, Jack-and-Jill baths, a large playroom flooded with light, and a separate flex room complete with bar area, sink, and mini refrigerator. Backing to one of Westlake’s most recognizable ridge lines, the property enjoys exceptional privacy with no rear neighbors. Resting beneath the landmark radio and TV towers, you’re assured exceptional privacy and a quiet neighbor. This is a rare combination of location, lot, views, and high-level design in the heart of Westlake.

At $808 per square foot, 2809 Waterbank Cv delivers nearly an acre of usable land in Westlake, a combination that is hard to find in this part of Austin. Set in Westlake Hills in Austin, TX 78746, this 6,068-square-foot residential single family residence pairs a 0.99-acre lot with six bedrooms, four full baths, one half bath, and a layout that gives buyers real flexibility instead of wasted space.

Built in 2001, the house reads as substantial from the start, but the bigger story is how well the spaces work. The main level puts the primary suite in a private position with pool access, hillside outlooks, a bath with sauna, and a large custom closet. The kitchen is equipped for serious daily use with Thermador appliances, separate built-in refrigerator and freezer units, a butler’s pantry with an extra dishwasher, and a second walk-in pantry. The open living area centers on one fireplace and a wall of glass facing the pool, spa, sport court, trampoline, covered patio, and broad yard. In Westlake, buyers ask for flat outdoor space all the time. Very few properties at this level actually deliver it. A dedicated office, formal dining room, wet bar, oversized laundry room, and a secondary suite on the main floor add options for guests, work, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, four more bedrooms, Jack-and-Jill baths, a large playroom, and a separate flex room with bar area and mini refrigerator keep the second level useful as needs change.

The location adds another layer of value. Eanes ISD remains one of the strongest public school draws in Central Texas, and this address is assigned to Bridge Point, Hill Country, and Westlake. Recent listing-linked GreatSchools ratings show Bridge Point at 9/10, Hill Country Middle School at 10/10, and Westlake High School at 9/10. Westlake Drive and Capital of Texas Highway - Loop 360 - put Davenport Village, Austin Country Club, Pennybacker Bridge, and Lake Austin close by, and Downtown Austin is about 20 minutes away when traffic is moving well. Backing to a well-known ridge line near the landmark radio and TV towers, the setting feels private with no rear neighbors and a quieter backdrop than many buyers expect this close to the city. For a family focused on Eanes schools, outdoor living, and long-term Westlake value, this is the kind of property that stays relevant well beyond the current market cycle.

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.
