Beautiful tree shaded courtyard style entry to this white limestone home. The mosaic stone entry wall provides privacy from the front door into the living area & there are two steps up into the main areas of the home. To the right of the front entry are two bedrooms and a bath that are very private from the rest of the home. The large main living area has a wall of windows overlooking the tree shaded patios and pool, a fireplace, and stairs up to the open rail loft area. The loft area is great for a study or game room use. The kitchen is to the left with a cathedral bead board ceiling, large island with great storage, a work desk area with shelving, good sized pantry, and laundry closet. All appliances including the refrigerator, washer, and dryer will convey. Walk from the kitchen and through the dining room french doors to conveniently access the outdoor seating and dining areas around the pool. The left side of the home has a small yard area and a fenced off storage building with room next to it for trash cans so that the garage is free of those things to use for cars. The pool was totally refurbished with plaster, tile, and all equipment several years ago and the patio cover was refurbished several months ago for long lasting use. Back inside the large master bedroom is off by itself with one closet in the bedroom and another large walk in in the bath. The bedroom has another wall of windows looking out at the tree shaded patios and pool area. The bath has a walk in shower, two vanities, and linen closet. The backyard has 3 outdoor living areas that can be used in a multiple of ways but currently there is a grilling patio off to the right side, a seating area off the dining room, and a dining area to the far left. The arbor like setting offers great privacy. In addition to the large storage building on the left there is a second storage building on the right for pool supplies and toys. The entire area is lit with string lighting and the entire yard is irrigated.

Great Hills has a golf course that most Austin residents forget exists - the Great Hills Country Club, a private 18-hole layout threaded through mature live oaks that has been quietly anchoring this neighborhood since 1980. The club's understated presence tells you everything about Great Hills itself, a neighborhood that does not draw attention but consistently delivers one of the most convenient daily lives in northwest Austin.

Great Hills sits between US 183 to the south, Loop 360 to the west, and the Balcones Canyonlands to the north, placing it in the middle of Austin's tech corridor. The Arboretum forms the commercial anchor along Research Boulevard, and The Domain is about seven minutes north on MoPac. Apple's campus on Parmer is roughly 15 minutes away. IBM's Austin facility sits even closer along Burnet Road. Downtown runs about 20 minutes south on MoPac. The Arboretum area provides H-E-B, Whole Foods, and enough services to handle most errands locally.

Housing dates from the late 1970s through the early 2000s, giving it a more established feel than newer communities to the north. You will find single-story ranch homes, two-story traditional builds, and larger custom homes along golf course and greenbelt lots. Most range from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet on quarter-acre to half-acre lots. Original builds feature brick and wood exteriors, while renovated homes incorporate limestone and expanded outdoor areas. Pricing runs from the mid-$500s for dated homes up to $1.5 million for renovated golf course or greenbelt properties. The mature tree canopy is a genuine asset that newer subdivisions cannot replicate.

Great Hills feeds into Round Rock ISD for most addresses, which surprises buyers who assume the 78759 zip falls within Austin ISD. Spicewood Elementary and Anderson Mill Elementary serve younger grades, with Canyon Vista Middle School handling the transition. Westwood High School has a strong reputation for math and science. The Round Rock ISD affiliation is a selling point, as the district outperforms Austin ISD on state assessments. Some southern addresses do fall within Austin ISD, so verifying by specific address matters.

Daily life balances suburban comfort with easy access to dining and outdoor recreation. The Great Hills Park Trail winds through the greenbelt. St. Edwards Park on Bull Creek offers swimming holes and hiking terrain that feels wild despite surrounding development. The restaurant options nearby are among Austin's best. Truluck's does upscale seafood. Perry's Steakhouse brings its pork chop Friday tradition. Roaring Fork handles Western American cuisine. North Italia covers pasta in a polished setting. Uchiko serves some of the most inventive Japanese food in Texas. Bartlett's anchors the casual American end with steaks and a bar feel.

Great Hills occupies middle ground between Cat Mountain's established wealth and newer developments in Cedar Park. It is more affordable than the 360 corridor. It offers more mature landscaping than Burnet Road infill. And it provides better tech corridor access than south Austin at comparable prices. The tradeoff is age - much of the stock is 30 to 40 years old, and buyers should budget for roof replacements, plumbing updates, and foundation work on Central Texas clay.

Great Hills makes sense for tech workers at Apple, IBM, or Meta who want a short commute and an established neighborhood. It fits families who value Round Rock ISD without living in Round Rock. It works for anyone who wants upscale dining within five minutes but prefers sleeping in a quiet, tree-covered neighborhood. If you need brand-new construction or walkable urbanism, look elsewhere. But if you want central location, mature trees, good schools, and a golf course visible from your back fence, Great Hills checks those boxes.
