Four bedrooms, three full baths, and a private pool set on just over an acre in Bull Mountain Phase 04 Section 01, this 3,569-square-foot residence at 4800 Mantle Dr sits within a neighborhood designed around privacy and established land. The 1993 construction combines masonry with thoughtful updates, creating the kind of home that doesn't announce itself but quietly delivers what discerning families seek in the 78746 zip code.

The lot's mature trees - large oaks exceeding 40 feet mixed with medium specimens - form a natural buffer that shields the home from surrounding streets while creating a canopy overhead. This isn't manicured showiness. It's the kind of land that takes decades to establish. The house sits back from Mantle Drive, and the one-acre-plus lot means neighbors aren't part of your daily sightline.

Inside, the open floor plan moves across wood and tile flooring with ceiling heights that let light travel. The study overlooks the front, suitable for quiet work. Two dining areas serve different rhythms of family life. The primary suite sits on the main level with its own sitting area, double vanities, and walk-in closet - no stairs to climb when you want to retreat. Upstairs, the game room and three additional bedrooms provide space without forcing constant proximity.

The kitchen includes built-in appliances, a cooktop, double ovens, and a water softener owned system. The breakfast bar connects the cooking area to the main living space. Multiple living areas mean the home functions for both active family life and the quieter moments families actually need.

The backyard centers on the pool and spa, framed by the large deck and covered porch. The level terrain - rare in this area - makes the space immediately usable rather than requiring engineering. You're entertaining by spring rather than planning a landscape overhaul.

Eanes ISD assigns elementary students to Bridge Point, middle to Hill Country, and high school to Westlake High. The district consistently ranks among Texas's strongest. The location puts you within ten minutes of downtown Austin, closer to major employers, and minutes from the Westlake shopping areas along Loop 360.

At $771 per square foot, this is competent pricing for Westlake privacy and a mature lot. The home trades dramatic features for durability and the kind of settled feeling that comes from land that's already established itself.

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.
