Barbecues, afternoon naps, and games of tag can spread out over 2 private wooded acres at this contemporary estate near downtown Austin. Outside, mature trees shade a verdant lawn; inside, floor-to-ceiling windows splash light across marble floors and custom cabinetry in keeping with architect Bernardo Pozas’s modern vision. It’s 3 miles to Zilker Park and just over 5 miles to golf. 

Spike it in a volleyball match against friends and family or stretch out on the tanning shelf in the backyard pool. Shift to a deck with outdoor sitting and dining areas for lunch from the barbecue, and end the day with drinks at the bar in the alfresco kitchen, a soak in the hot tub, and a game on the outdoor TV. Inside the house, you’ll find streaming and cable TVs, along with Wi-Fi and a fireplace. 

The estate’s floor-to-ceiling, nearly wall-to-wall glass makes the most of its private setting. Polished marble floors reflect the glow of the fire and chandeliers in the open-concept living and dining areas and fully equipped Thermador kitchen, while wood panels warm it all up. 

There are 4 bedrooms in the main house of this vacation rental and 1 in a separate casita; all 5 have ensuite bathrooms. In the main house, there are 2 bedrooms with king beds, including the master suite, 1 bedroom with a queen bed, and 1 bedroom with 2 double beds. The casita has a king bed as well as a bunk room with 2 triple twin bunk beds, making it equally convenient for a couple wanting a honeymoon-style escape or parents on holiday with younger children. 

A stay at this villa offers the luxury of being close to Austin’s attractions without being in the bustle of the city. It’s just under 3 miles to Zilker Metropolitan Park, where you can paddle around Lady Bird Lake, hike alongside locals on a number of paths, or swim in the spring-fed waters of Barton Springs Pool. Drive 6 miles to downtown Austin to sample the city’s restaurants and bars, or to take a free tour of the Texas State Capitol building.
