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.
Northwest Hills, located between MoPac Expressway and Loop 360, is a hillside and residential Austin neighborhood with winding streets and Hill Country views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Far West Blvd and Mesa Dr corridor, where coffee counters, local eateries, and everyday services cluster in a low-key strip-center rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and 1970s condos sit under mature oaks, with pockets of limestone and steep grades shaping the streetscape. Bull Creek District Park frames the western edge with trailheads and creek crossings. The Contemporary Austin – Laguna Gloria adds a museum-and-gardens counterpoint to the outdoors. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Village anchors nearby movie nights with a distinctly Austin feel.
