Westlake Unicorn -- Modern, Nature, Privacy, Views, and Downtown Access — All in One Address. This modern treehouse retreat presents a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready architectural home in the Westlake area at a price where nothing like this exists. Set on a usable, level lot surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, the property offers a combination of privacy, flexibility, and design that is increasingly difficult to find under $2M. Originally built in 2009 and thoughtfully designed far ahead of its time, the home feels remarkably current. While many homes in this price range throughout Westlake are older, dated, or in need of significant renovation, this residence offers clean architectural lines, modern livability, and an immediate lock-and-leave lifestyle without compromise. Walls of glass frame the surrounding trees like living artwork, while natural light and shifting shadows animate the interiors throughout the day. Every window placement feels intentional, creating a seamless connection between the home and its landscape while bringing a sense of calm and privacy to every space. With no backyard neighbors, the setting feels exceptionally secluded, enhanced by the peaceful sound of the creek flowing just behind the property. The functional floor plan balances comfort and character with spaces designed for both everyday living and quiet retreat. Tucked into the trees, the private primary suite opens to an expansive patio with sweeping Hill Country views stretching for miles — the perfect setting to unwind above the canopy while taking in breathtaking sunsets each evening. Located in one of Austin’s most sought-after areas with access to acclaimed Eanes ISD schools, this property delivers a combination of modern architecture, usable land, privacy, views, and proximity to downtown that rarely exists at this price point. A truly unique opportunity to own a home that stands apart from anything else currently on the market.
Westlake Highlands, located between Bee Cave Road and Loop 360, is a hillside and residential Austin neighborhood with winding streets and canyon views. The character concentrates around the Bee Cave Road corridor near Westbank Drive, where low-slung shopping plazas, coffee counters, and patio dining set a polished, outdoorsy rhythm. Architectural lines lean mid-century ranch and contemporary rebuilds, often tucked behind live oaks and limestone. Trail time and water time shape the week, with quick routes to the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Lake Austin. Local pillars like Maudie’s Hacienda, Texas Honey Ham Company, and the Austin Country Club give the area a distinctly Westlake cadence. Evenings read quiet and private, with sunset light catching the ridgelines above the creek corridors.
