713 Laughing Dog Ct
About this property
Looking for something different? At Laughing Dog, life follows a “decompression loop”—a home conceived not simply around how you live, but around the profound effect a place can have on the way you experience life. Leave the outside world at the door and settle into a rhythm entirely your own. Open a bottle from the wine cellar, mix a drink at the bar crafted from 58-year-old walnut, or cook in a kitchen created for the ritual of it, with Thermador, Monogram and Sub-Zero appliances, an oversized island and fully appointed working scullery. Slip through a secret door into the speakeasy-style whiskey room. Take dinner upstairs for an Alamo-style movie night in the private cinema. Or do nothing at all. Watch the last light move across miles of protected Hill Country preserve and stay as the stars take over a true Dark Sky community. Set high on 3.25 private acres, the home unfolds in unexpected ways, with secret rooms, a library, wine cellar, bar and lounge, plus more than 3,000 sq ft of decking that makes the view part of daily life. The great room anchors the home with dramatic scale, fireplace and sweeping preserve views. The primary suite is its own escape, with canyon views and a fireplace made for lingering at the beginning and end of the day. The spa bath is designed for two—separate vanities, dual water closets with bidets, soaking tub and an oversized shower with two full shower stations and multiple body sprays. A private secondary bedroom wing gives family or guests their own retreat. Beyond the home, dramatic elevation creates exceptional privacy while an existing path leads to a second flat build site—future guest quarters, studio, pool pavilion or something entirely your own. From sunrise over the canyon to dinner, movies, whiskey and stars, this is a home that takes care of you. Laughing Dog isn’t about having more rooms. It’s about having better reasons to come home.

The Colorado River flows through Travis County, impounded into Lake Travis and Lake Austin, key recreation anchors for the region. The Balcones Escarpment marks the transition from the limestone Hill Country in the west to the Blackland Prairie in the east. Barton Creek and its tributaries carve spring-fed swimming holes and nature preserves within the urban fabric.

Austin's economy is anchored by the University of Texas, state government, and a massive technology sector that has attracted Apple, Tesla, Oracle, Dell, and hundreds of startups. Travis County acreage properties command premium prices reflecting proximity to the Austin job market, major airports, and world-class amenities.
