BOM - Buyers decided not to move to Austin. This quintessential Davenport Ranch home boasts spacious rooms, lots of privacy, and natural beauty throughout. When you enter, you’re greeted by the incredible distant views, wooded privacy, and flexible plan. The main level unfolds with intentional flow — from the updated kitchen/breakfast area to the comfortable, yet refined, dining room, continuing to the inviting, timeless living area. The private office/TV room (with surround sound) can flex as an exercise room or guest room. Nearby is the main bedroom, with a modern, full-corner window, private deck access, and a bright bathroom with heated floors. Most rooms in the house experience the lovely distant views, pool, and canopy of amazing trees. The upper level is thoughtfully laid out with two large bedrooms (each can fit two beds) — one with an en suite bathroom — and an open game/study/reading area with a fireplace and custom bookshelves. Tucked into the lower level is a fantastic flex space with a private entrance and private bath — ideal for an office, exercise room, guest room, or full-time bedroom. The large main-level and upper-level decks offer several places to dine, relax, and enjoy the natural surroundings and views. They both face NE, away from the afternoon sun, and overlook the beautiful pool and running stream water feature (with Koi pond), offering soothing sounds 24/7. The backyard features a large, flat area that can serve as a home multiple fun activities. Updates in the last 10 years include the primary bath w/heated floor, bar w/beverage fridge, wood flooring, roof, and HVAC. More recent updates include exterior paint, interior paint, carpeting, and bathroom tile. Enjoy secluded living in the middle of a thriving, distinguished Eanes ISD/Westlake neighborhood, and still be just one mile from Austin Country Club and the Davenport Village Shopping Center and 20 minutes to downtown Austin. HOA benefits include a private, gated neighborhood park.

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.
