4101 Spicewood Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78759

One of the last significant wooded estates in Central Austin, this cherished 1960s family homestead on 3 acres is now available in the heart of Northwest Hills. Nestled beneath a gorgeous canopy of heritage oaks and surrounded by wildlife, Austin architect Frank DeGroot designed the original residence—a sprawling single-story limestone and wood home in 1960s vintage condition with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and more than 3,600 sq ft of living space in just the house. Covered porches and a stone patio extended the living outdoors, and created inviting evenings spent gathering under the stars.

Through the years, the property grew into a true compound, with additional structures that welcomed guests and was a family haven for nature hikes forest bathing and country-style living. At its center lies a deep 20’x40’ swimming pool, the location of countless summer memories. A two-story pool house and adjacent cottages provided space for family and friends, while decks, solariums, and patios created inviting spots to relax or entertain. Deer still wander the grounds, undisturbed, a reminder of the natural serenity that sets this property apart.

To call this opportunity rare is an understatement. Here is your chance to reimagine a remarkable estate—craft a new family retreat, preserve its vintage charm, or explore its development potential on these three acres of rare, central Austin land. This is more than a home—it’s a place where memories and new stories are waiting to be written.

4101 Spicewood Springs Rd sits on 3.0565 wooded acres in Mesa Forest, a scale of land that is almost unheard of this close to Central Austin. Priced at $5.00M, or $1,041 per square foot, this Residential - Single Family Residence in Austin, TX 78759 offers 4,804 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, and a 1961 pedigree in Travis County.

What matters here is the land as much as the house. More than three acres near Mesa Drive, Loop 360, and MoPac is a rare equation in Northwest Austin, where most large tracts were divided decades ago. The setting still feels like old Austin, with mature oaks, limestone, long views, and enough room for a true estate layout rather than a conventional neighborhood footprint. The residence has roots in Austin architect Frank DeGroot’s work and carries the proportions of a classic compound, with the main house, outdoor gathering areas, and pool arranged in a way that creates privacy and separation across the site.

The numbers tell a clear story. At $1,041 per square foot, buyers are not just paying for interior space. They are buying land, location, and scarcity. Four bedrooms and 4.5 baths give the home functional scale, while the 43 days on market suggest this is the kind of property buyers study carefully because there are few direct comparisons. For anyone tracking Central Austin land value, that matters.

Living at 4101 Spicewood Springs Rd means quick access to some of the strongest daily conveniences in this part of the city. Bull Creek Greenbelt and St. Edward's Park are both nearby for trails, creek access, and weekend time outside. The Arboretum at Great Hills and The Domain are close for dining, shopping, and errands. Spicewood Springs Road provides a direct east-west route, while Loop 360 and MoPac connect the property to Downtown Austin and major job centers. In lighter traffic, The Arboretum is about 10 minutes away, The Domain is around 15 minutes, and Downtown Austin is roughly 20 minutes.

School district information is not provided in the current listing data, so buyers should confirm school assignments independently. What is clear is that Mesa Forest, Austin 78759, and a 3.0565-acre homesite create a combination that is harder to find every year. This is the kind of property that can support long-term enjoyment now and hold strategic value well into the future.
