Property Overview

This architectural landmark spans three pristine acres in Northwest Hills, offering one of Austin's last intact wooded estates with authentic mid-century character. Designed by revered Austin architect Frank DeGroot in 1961, the main residence features limestone and wood construction with four bedrooms and five bathrooms across 4,804 square feet, anchored by soaring ceilings, covered porches, and stone patios that blur the line between interior and exterior living. The property unfolds as a true compound—a 20-by-40-foot swimming pool serves as the centerpiece of this family compound, while a two-story pool house and guest cottages create flexible space for multigenerational living or entertaining. Mature oaks and native landscaping shelter the estate from neighboring properties, providing genuine privacy steps from Loop 360 access and rated schools.

The setting invites the kind of country-style living rarely preserved near central Austin, with multiple outdoor decks, solariums, and gathering spaces that showcase Hill Country views and wildlife habitat. Beyond the resort-caliber amenities, this Spicewood Springs Road property represents land banking in one of Austin's most established neighborhoods—the 3.04-acre footprint itself holds significant value for future possibilities. Whether maintained as a generational family retreat or reimagined for the next chapter, this estate delivers the scale and architectural pedigree that define Northwest Hills at its finest.

Agent Description

One of the last significant wooded estates in Central Austin, this cherished 1960s family homestead on 3 acres is now available in the heart of Northwest Hills. Nestled beneath a gorgeous canopy of heritage oaks and surrounded by wildlife, Austin architect Frank DeGroot designed the original residence—a sprawling single-story limestone and wood home in 1960s vintage condition with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and more than 3,600 sq ft of living space in just the house. Covered porches and a stone patio extended the living outdoors, and created inviting evenings spent gathering under the stars. Through the years, the property grew into a true compound, with additional structures that welcomed guests and was a family haven for nature hikes forest bathing and country-style living. At its center lies a deep 20’x40’ swimming pool, the location of countless summer memories. A two-story pool house and adjacent cottages provided space for family and friends, while decks, solariums, and patios created inviting spots to relax or entertain. Deer still wander the grounds, undisturbed, a reminder of the natural serenity that sets this property apart. To call this opportunity rare is an understatement. Here is your chance to reimagine a remarkable estate—craft a new family retreat, preserve its vintage charm, or explore its development potential on these three acres of rare, central Austin land. This is more than a home—it’s a place where memories and new stories are waiting to be written. **potential to possibly have multiple units and preliminary work was done by Keepers Land Development, sent upon request.
