Set high above Lake Austin on a nearly one-acre hillside cul-de-sac lot, this meticulously maintained home offers an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility, with sweeping Hill Country views and breathtaking sunsets from the backyard.

A charming stone exterior sets the tone for this classic home, where an inviting front porch, mature oak trees and beautifully maintained landscaping create a welcoming first impression. Inside, the floor plan is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level features an open living and dining area with a fireplace and wall of built-ins, along with a dedicated office. The spacious kitchen includes a center island, breakfast area and bar seating, double ovens, gas cooktop and built-in desk, all overlooking the surrounding Hill Country.

Also on the main level, the oversized primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a generous bath featuring dual vanities, soaking tub, separate shower and two closets. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, two full baths and a second living area. Plantation shutters throughout add to the home’s timeless appeal.

The backyard is truly special. An expansive covered patio provides multiple areas for outdoor living, lounging and dining, while a beautiful pool and spa are surrounded by multiple levels of terracing that take full advantage of the hillside setting and views.

Beyond the property, the setting within Shepherd Mountain is equally compelling. Lake Austin, the surrounding hills and glimpses of the downtown skyline create an extraordinary backdrop, whether heading into town or simply enjoying a walk through the neighborhood.

Ideally located near the crossroads of RM 2222 and Loop 360, the home offers convenient access to Westlake, Mopac, the Arboretum and the 620 corridor. Zoned to highly regarded Highland Park Elementary, Lamar Middle School and McCallum High School, home to its renowned Fine Arts Academy.
