705 Las Lomas Dr, West Lake Hills, TX 78746

A true work of art in Westlake’s best-kept secret – Las Lomas. Renowned architect Michael Hsu’s touches are designed into every detail of this singular residence – natural materials utilized to perfection. Just yards behind the much-hyped streets of Rollingwood, Las Lomas enjoys rare large lots, great views and privacy, and a low tax rate. 705 Las Lomas epitomizes a comfortable, modern style combining warmth & livability, carefully created to cascade down the lot, highlighting the spectacular views. The luxurious courtyard anchors the pool, spa, firepit, movie screen, and built-in outdoor seating to create indelible memories. The pool is deep enough for diving, the covered outdoor dining can seat at least a dozen, and the adjacent fully appointed casita doubles as a party space before or after the sun dies down. The main home contains 5 bedrooms, 5-1/2 baths white oak floors throughout, a custom steel staircase, exposed concrete walls downstairs, 2 offices, a climate-controlled wine room, and a separate, perfectly placed 1-1 casita. The views command attention, and the architecture reflects Hsu’s works at Uchi, Loro, Sway, the Cliff House, and countless others. 705 Las Lomas is one of the few Hsu-designed private homes in Central Austin. 5 minutes from downtown Austin, and 5 minutes from award-winning Eanes schools, this residence offers the perfect package of desirability, functionality, and value appreciation. Nestled into the last cul-de-sac at the end of a low-traffic residential paradise, 705 is the fresh new epitome of what this neighborhood embodies. The 1.6+ acre lot still contains potential for future improvements – only about half of the allowable impervious cover has been utilized, and the septic system has additional capacity. See broker for details.

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.
