6300 Forest Hills Dr, Austin, TX 78746

Permits approved and shovel ready in Westlake Hills. 6300 Forest Hills Drive is a 15,376 sq ft corner lot in Knollwood with access from both Forest Hills Drive and Dondale Circle, sold with a complete, sealed plan set and Travis County development and driveway permits for a 4,701 sq ft courtyard home. The design is a joint effort between Collaborations, an award-winning international architectural firm, and Broadview Development, which reviewed the plans for US and local code.

Upstairs: two more en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets, a games room sized for a pool table, a media room and a covered balcony with wood ceiling and vertical fins over the courtyard. Smooth stucco and stacked stone, standing-seam metal roof, black-framed glass, 10-foot ceilings on the main level, three-car garage. Aerobic septic designed for a six-bedroom equivalent. Entry faces Dondale Circle; garage and driveway open onto Forest Hills Drive. Eanes ISD, about six miles to downtown Austin. Images are visualizations of the approved design, not photographs; finishes may vary. Also available together with the leased home at 6102 Forest Hills Drive.

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.
