3806 Spirit Lake Cv, Austin, TX 78746

Elevated and exceptional! Located within the prestigious Westview community on a double cul de sac lot, this Hill Country Contemporary estate was masterfully designed by architect James LaRue, AIA. This award-winning residence seamlessly blends timeless architecture and modern luxury. Crafted with a refined palette of native Central Texas materials, including fossil limestone, Lueders stone, slate, travertine, and rich hardwoods—feeling organically connected to the land. Expansive interiors with soaring 10 to 20-foot ceilings and dramatic walls of glass flood the home with light from multiple exposures, reinforcing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Well sited on a tree-filled 1.37-acre double lot, the estate was designed to preserve heritage oaks while incorporating a sprawling yard and exceptional outdoor amenities, including a lighted full-size tennis court and resort-style pool. The court has also served as a play space for children, a gathering hub, and the ultimate lawn party setting. The expansive kitchen was designed for large-scale entertaining, offering multiple islands and prep stations, dual ovens and dishwashers, an 8-burner Wolf cooktop, built-in microwave, and an oversized walk-through pantry. The mahogany-clad office/study provides a luxurious work-from-home setting. The primary suite and secondary bedrooms have recently undergone an extensive renovation, providing sophisticated finishes throughout. Five interior fireplaces provide ambiance, while a sixth fireplace anchors the outdoor living, complete with built-in grill, TV, and seating. Additional highlights include two laundry areas, four-car garage + circular drive, expansive lush lawn and landscape lighting. Just 12 minutes to Downtown Austin and within award winning Eanes ISD, this cherished neighborhood offers a unique walkability and sense of community. This property has relaxed into its setting with such grace—a living testament to fine architectural vision.

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.
