Description
One of the last significant wooded estates in Central Austin, this cherished 1960s family homestead on 3 acres is now available in the heart of Northwest Hills. Nestled beneath a gorgeous canopy of heritage oaks and surrounded by wildlife, Austin architect Frank DeGroot designed the original residence—a sprawling single-story limestone and wood home in 1960s vintage condition with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and more than 3,600 sq ft of living space in just the house. Covered porches and a stone patio extended the living outdoors, and created inviting evenings spent gathering under the stars. Through the years, the property grew into a true compound, with additional structures that welcomed guests and was a family haven for nature hikes forest bathing and country-style living. At its center lies a deep 20’x40’ swimming pool, the location of countless summer memories. A two-story pool house and adjacent cottages provided space for family and friends, while decks, solariums, and patios created inviting spots to relax or entertain. Deer still wander the grounds, undisturbed, a reminder of the natural serenity that sets this property apart. To call this opportunity rare is an understatement. Here is your chance to reimagine a remarkable estate—craft a new family retreat, preserve its vintage charm, or explore its development potential on these three acres of rare, central Austin land. This is more than a home—it’s a place where memories and new stories are waiting to be written. **potential to possibly have multiple units and preliminary work was done by Keepers Land Development, sent upon request.
