5406 Cuesta Verde, Austin, TX 78746

Rare Flat Acre with Iconic Lake Austin & 360 Bridge Views – Westlake

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare in Westlake. This stunning, just-over-one-acre homesite offers sweeping panoramic views of Lake Austin, the rolling Texas Hill Country, Mount Bonnell, and even the iconic 360 Bridge in the distance.

Flat acreage with protected views in this prestigious enclave seldom comes to market — especially parcels this build-ready. Previously part of a larger 2+ acre estate, this newly offered homesite features only a sports court, allowing for an easy transition to your custom dream build without the expense or delay of major demolition.

The level topography provides flexibility for architectural design, seamless indoor-outdoor living, expansive lawn space, and resort-style amenities — all while capturing some of the most coveted views in Westlake.

Create a legacy estate in one of Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods, just around the corner from Austin Country Club and close to downtown yet offering privacy, prestige, and panoramic beauty.

5406 Cuesta Verde offers something Westlake almost never gives you at this scale - a flat 1.0065-acre homesite with direct sightlines to Lake Austin and the 360 Bridge. In Westlake Hills, 5406 Cuesta Verde comes to market at $1.79 million after 19 days on market, and the value story starts with usable land, protected view corridors, and a location that keeps you close to both downtown Austin and the best of Westlake.

This is unimproved land, so there is no bedroom count, bathroom count, interior square footage, or year-built figure to weigh against the site. That matters because the opportunity here is about what can be built, not what needs to be undone. The parcel was previously part of a larger estate and includes a sports court, which means the next owner is not starting with a teardown or fighting a heavily constrained footprint. Flat topography on a view lot in this part of Austin is hard to find. Flat topography on just over one acre in Westlake, with this mix of privacy and long-range outlooks, is rarer still.

The setting puts you in Eanes ISD, one of the strongest district draws in Central Texas. The assigned schools are Bridge Point Elementary, Hill Country Middle School, and Westlake High School, three names buyers specifically ask for when they want Westlake access tied to established neighborhood value. For daily movement, you are close to Loop 360, also known as Capital of Texas Highway, with Bee Cave Road giving you a straightforward route toward shopping, dining, and downtown connections. Austin Country Club is nearby, Lake Austin is part of the everyday backdrop, and Mount Bonnell remains visible in the broader hill country frame.

From a lifestyle standpoint, this address works for buyers who want room for a true custom estate with meaningful outdoor space, not just a house on a view lot. A one-acre site allows for a larger lawn, pool, guest space, and motor court while still preserving privacy. In a market where many luxury opportunities come down to compromise, 5406 Cuesta Verde stands out because it gives you land, views, and Eanes ISD in one of Austin’s most proven long-term value corridors. This is the kind of property that can shape how you live now and how the asset holds up over time.

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.
