Property Overview

This architectural compound on Peace Pipe Path in Westlake Hills represents a rare collaboration between visionary design and the natural Texas landscape. Originally conceived in the 1980s and reimagined in the early 2000s by AIA-awarded architect Mell Lawrence, the property showcases distinctive modernist architecture that honors Hill Country materials—limestone, steel, glass, and heavy timber—creating an aesthetic featured in Metropolitan Home and HGTV. Perched on over 50,000 square feet with seasonal creek views and meadow setting, this multi-structure residence delivers the privacy and prestige expected in this premier Austin neighborhood.

The main residence spans 6,276 square feet across six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, anchored by an expansive primary suite featuring a private deck, outdoor shower, cedar-lined closet, spa-style bath, and dual vanities. The heart of the home opens dramatically with concrete countertops, a limestone fireplace with gas insert, and an expansive glass wall overlooking resort-caliber entertaining spaces including a pool and terraced outdoor areas. Additional structures and a fully conditioned enclosed porch extend the living experience, while the property's positioning within Eanes ISD and its proximity to Lake Austin elevate its desirability in Westlake Hills' most sought-after addresses.

Vox Residential Insight

This property's museum-quality architectural pedigree and published design legacy make it exceptionally rare in Austin's luxury market—most homebuyers at this price point are purchasing new construction or standard estates rather than certified design statements. At Vox Residential, we recognize that Peace Pipe Path attracts discerning buyers who value craftsmanship and provenance as much as square footage and amenities.
