Private acreage in The Estates of Barton Creek, 20 minutes from downtown At 3664 Lost Creek Blvd, around 4.4 acres (4.397 per survey) give you room to build a private estate. Large lots, deep setbacks and a rear line backing to water give the land a secluded feel. Yet downtown Austin is about 20 minutes away. Few addresses offer this much land this close in. Nestled among some of Austin’s most prestigious communities, this is a rare chance to build on acreage in one of the city’s most sought-after corners. The prior home has been removed, and the site is ready for you and your architect to create your own private oasis. Barton Creek and Westlake Country Clubs are just around the corner, and some of Austin’s most respected private schools are close by, including Regents School of Austin, St. Andrew’s Episcopal School and St. Michael’s Catholic Academy. Because the property sits outside Austin city limits, there’s no City of Austin property tax, so the tax rate is lower than many in-city addresses. HOA dues are modest. The property is in Austin ISD zoned to Oak Hill Elementary, O'Henry Middle School and Austin High School.

Rare Architectural Gem in the Heart of Travis Heights just Steps from South Congress Thoughtfully restored and reimagined by acclaimed Austin architecture firm Alterstudio, this landmark 1927 property on Hillside Avenue is one of Travis Heights' most distinctive offerings. Blending historic soul with refined modern design, this residence sits just a short stroll from the boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, and beloved neighborhood energy of South Congress Avenue with easy access to Little Stacy Park, Big Stacy Pool, and the scenic Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail. The Main Residence is a 4 bed, 3 bath home that was meticulously renovated by Alterstudio in 2012. The original character was well preserved while integrating clean contemporary lines, thoughtful material choices, and an intentional connection between indoor and outdoor living. The Guest House, built in 2025, offers a completely self-contained retreat with its own kitchenette, dedicated office, private bedroom, and full bathroom. This is ideal for visiting family, long-term guests, or income-producing short-term rental potential in one of Austin's most walkable and desirable neighborhoods. Outside, a custom pool anchors the outdoor living space, surrounded by lush, low-maintenance native landscaping. A two-car carport with EV charging completes the picture. Properties like this, with genuine architectural pedigree, a multi-structure compound layout, and a Travis Heights address this close to SoCo, simply don't come to market often.
