Stunning Hilltop Estate with unrivaled privacy and sunset views in Zilker, a short walk to Barton Springs & the best of 78704. This uniquely private estate of nearly 1 acre is filled with gorgeous oaks, a huge usable yard, and offers truly spectacular views of the western hills. You won't believe a setting this private and serene exists in this location, but seeing is believing! The estate includes a 4/2.5 Main house (+/-3300sf) + 1/1 guest cottage (+/-593sf) per owner, and there's room for a lot more! Both the main house & guest cottage generate substantial rental income (up to 250-300K/year) and have been used for weddings and exclusive private events. The guest cottage is perfect for an au pair, caretaker, family, or as a rental (has been rented to celebrities in the past). Both dwellings can be sold furnished if your client wants a turnkey experience. The possibilities are endless to make this property your private hideaway--expand the main house, add a spectacular pool, or build something unforgettable.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
