About this property
The Grotto represents one of Mount Bonnell’s most compelling lifestyle opportunities. A rare single story retreat designed for privacy, wellness, and effortless indoor outdoor living.
Spanning 3,006 square feet on a quiet cul de sac, this home delivers volume and warmth the moment you enter. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a stone fireplace anchor the living spaces, while the chef’s kitchen with dual ovens, two dishwashers, prep sink, walk in pantry, and oversized island is built for entertaining without sacrificing everyday comfort. Multiple living areas and a dedicated office offer flexibility for work, hosting, or quiet retreat.
The primary suite functions as a private wellness escape, opening directly to the backyard and featuring a spa bath and rare in home sauna. Secondary bedrooms sit on the opposite wing, creating thoughtful separation ideal for guests or family.
Outdoors is where The Grotto becomes unforgettable. A heated pool with cascading waterfall and hidden grotto sets the tone, surrounded by lush landscaping, a screened porch, outdoor fireplace, secluded gazebo, and shaded pavilion designed for meditation or relaxation. A dedicated pool bath with laundry adds convenience for entertaining, while an 8 foot cast stone privacy wall creates a backyard sanctuary rarely found this close to the city.
Backing to the 200 acre Bright Leaf Preserve and located minutes from downtown Austin, the Arboretum, and the Domain, this home offers the rare ability to feel completely tucked away while remaining centrally connected.
For those seeking a single story Mount Bonnell home with character, privacy, and true lifestyle appeal, The Grotto delivers a living experience that stands apart.
