Property Overview

This Barton Hills estate on Westhill Drive unfolds as a masterwork of refined simplicity and natural immersion, where a carefully curated renovation has elevated a legacy property into something truly singular. Situated on nearly three-quarters of an acre, the home features soaring wood-vaulted ceilings, clear-coated white oak flooring throughout primary living spaces, and custom maple cabinetry that speaks to meticulous craftsmanship. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms flow across 3,201 square feet with generous proportions rarely seen in contemporary construction.

The property's greatest asset exists beyond the walls. A private driveway winds through a canopy of native oaks and cedars, anchoring a sanctuary that includes a tree-nestled studio retreat, a fire pit with Hill Country views, and a network of trails descending directly to Barton Creek and the Greenbelt. The layout accommodates formal living and dining areas alongside flexible spaces, each positioned to capture both privacy and connection to the natural landscape surrounding it. From this address in Austin, TX, you occupy the rare intersection of urban proximity and genuine seclusion.

Vox Residential Insight

At $1,092 per square foot, this property sits nearly double the neighborhood median, but the differential reflects something most Barton Hills homes cannot offer: direct Greenbelt access combined with meticulously executed interior architecture. Vox Residential has seen strong demand from buyers seeking legacy properties with this caliber of private land and outdoor infrastructure already in place.

Agent Description

Tucked away behind a long, private driveway in the heart of Barton Hills, this secluded estate offers a rare blend of elevated, effortless design paired with raw natural beauty. At 3/4-acre, the sprawling lot serves as a sanctuary with canopy-rich majestic native oaks and cedars, and home to a series of private trails leading directly to Barton Creek and the Greenbelt. Beyond the main residence, trails lead you to a cozy studio perched in the trees, and a fire pit with views that give you space to exhale. Westhill is a true legacy property that feels worlds away from the city while sitting right in its center. The owners’ renovation and addition is where this property found its full expression. Clear-coated white oak runs through all primary living areas, overhead the ceilings are wood-clad and vaulted, and custom maple cabinetry was built in throughout. The layout gives you more dedicated spaces than most homes this size know what to do with: a formal living room, formal dining, private office, den, and additional built-in work desk. The kitchen is built around a commercial range and high-capacity vent hood, with a Liebherr refrigerator and freezer fully integrated into the cabinetry. Marble countertops carry through to the backsplash, and the central island steps it down to waterfall quartz. The room opens to the landscape through a 16-foot Western sliding door system — the kind of detail you notice the first time you see it and think about for a while after. Separate from the main house, a detached writing studio sits lifted above the surrounding greenbelt to make the most of the views. Inside: a large built-in maple desk, commercial-grade windows, authentic Saltillo tile, and a small viewing deck. A nearly completed bathroom is plumbed and ready, there's space roughed in for a future kitchenette, and the studio runs on its own mini-split system, water, electricity, and fiber internet — fully independent from the main house.
