5000 Fast Fox Trl, Austin, TX 78746

Behind a gated entrance, this Westlake Hills residence sits on an expansive lot with privacy, mature surroundings, and eastern views. The home has been extensively renovated in 2020 with a focus on quality materials and a clean, thoughtful design. Oversized windows and doors bring in beautiful natural light and keep the surrounding landscape present throughout the interiors. Hardwood floors, limestone details, and carefully selected finishes add warmth, while the open layout creates an easy connection between the main living spaces. Located within Eanes ISD, the property feels private and removed while remaining minutes from Loop 360, downtown Austin, and everything Westlake has to offer. The living room is anchored by a custom concrete fireplace, with large windows drawing toward the views beyond. From there, the home flows into an open kitchen designed with custom cabinetry, generous prep space, and a full suite of Miele appliances. A built-in refrigerator, induction cooktop, wall oven, steam oven, two sinks, and extensive storage make the space equally suited for everyday use and entertaining. The primary suite continues the home’s understated design with a marble and limestone bath and two custom closets. Each secondary bedroom also includes a custom closet, custom window treatments, distinctive lighting, and integrated technology add thoughtful detail throughout. The outdoor spaces take full advantage of the home’s elevated setting and eastern views. An extended ipe deck creates a substantial place to gather, dine, or spend time outside, with iron and cable railings keeping the outlook open to the surrounding hills. The expansive lot provides additional breathing room around the home, while perimeter fencing adds another layer of privacy. With beautifully finished interiors, generous outdoor living, and a setting that captures some of the best views in Westlake Hills, the property offers a rare combination of space and privacy so close to the center of Austin.

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.
