Tucked away on 1.63 private acres, this one-of-a-kind Hill Country property offers a rare combination of privacy and flexibility just outside Austin. The setting feels secluded, and worlds away while remaining minutes from some of the area’s most popular destinations including Jester King Brewery, Treaty Oak Distilling, Fitzhugh Brewing, and several of Central Texas’ renowned wedding venues including The Arlo, Addison Grove and Prospect House, exceptionally positioned to capture strong demand from wedding guests, Hill Country visitors, and those seeking an escape from the city. Designed with versatility in mind, the property features two separate structures thoughtfully positioned to create multiple use opportunities. The primary residence offers approximately 1,992 square feet with 2 bedrooms, 2 updated bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry room, and inviting living spaces that blend comfort with a relaxed Hill Country aesthetic. The second structure spans approximately 648 sqft complete with a full bathroom, kitchenette, storage space, and open-concept layout. It functions perfectly as a guest house, executive office, studio, entertainment space, wellness room, or potential short-term rental suite. The home is equipped with multiple outdoor entertaining and gathering areas intentionally designed to embrace the natural surroundings. Whether hosting friends for the weekend, accommodating wedding guests, creating a private retreat, or operating an income-producing rental, the property lends itself to a wide range of possibilities. With the continued Highway 290 expansion, access back into Austin has become increasingly convenient, making this an easy retreat without sacrificing connectivity. You don't want to miss out on this one!
Travis Southwest, located between Barton Creek Greenbelt and the Hill Country ridgeline, is a residential and outdoorsy Austin neighborhood with limestone hillsides and winding, tree-lined roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mopac Expressway frontage near the Barton Creek Square area, where big-box retail, local eateries, and steady traffic set a practical, on-the-go tone. Housing leans toward 1970s–1990s ranch-style homes and townhome communities tucked into rolling terrain. Trailheads and creek corridors shape daily routines more than a traditional main street. Barton Creek Greenbelt access points and nearby preserves keep the landscape close. Barton Creek Square and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema at Slaughter Lane serve as familiar gathering anchors.

Great partial remodel located near all of the hotspots off Fitzhugh. This property recently was updated and is ready to go! Very quiet but located 1 mile from Jester King and all the cool breweries in the area. Located in a secluded pocket off Fitzhugh but only a $20 Uber ride to downtown. Great investment property and perfect for someone who wants to add on to the property! Lots of options, plus there is a 650 sq ft AC shop/garage outside with a riding lawn mower conveying! Low Taxes and Sold as is. Sprinkler Sys:Yes
