About this property
A rare opportunity to own 4 private acres in North Austin, just minutes from Hwy 620 and the Apple campus. Surrounded by mature oaks and natural beauty, this property offers a level of privacy, usable land, and flexibility that is increasingly hard to find this close to the city. The 1964 home blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, including a remodeled kitchen, renovated primary suite with a new bath and oversized walk-in closet, updated secondary bathrooms, and fresh interior paint. The centerpiece of the home is a striking living room with mid-century influence, dramatic wood-beamed ceilings, natural stone accents, and a wall of windows that brings the Texas landscape into full view. Whether you're looking for a private residence to enjoy now or a future dream-home site while keeping the existing home as a guest house, the property offers a unique combination of character, functionality, and long-term potential. Just minutes from major employers, dining, shopping, entertainment, and everyday conveniences, the setting feels quiet, secluded, and far removed from the pace of the city. Fully usable 4-acre homesites rarely come available in this market area. Properties like this are hard to replace and even harder to forget once you’ve seen them.
