This is a freestanding home w/casita. “Unit A” was used for syndication purposes. Perched above the Barton Creek Habitat Preserve, this stunning home sits on 1.2 acres and offers a lifestyle that feels like a retreat and adventure without the long-term commitment of buying. Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in gated Overlook Estates, the home feels worlds away while still keeping you close to everything that makes Austin special. Known as “The Tree House”, this striking 3-story home was designed to capture panoramic Hill Country and preserve views from every floor, creating the feeling of living among the treetops. The main level is dedicated to the primary suite with Texas-sized windows framing the preserve, a beautiful ensuite bath and a custom-designed closet. Take the elevator to the second level where a built-in corner office is perfectly positioned to take in the views, along with 2-secondary bedrooms and a full bath. The 3rd level is where the home really shows off with an open living space wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, a stunning kitchen with an oversized island, walk-in pantry, refrigerator included and countertop windows in lieu of a traditional backsplash. Step out onto the rooftop deck and take in the kind of Hill Country views that feel impossible to get used to. Multiple outdoor living spaces blur the line between home and nature. The fully equipped 1 BD | 1 BA casita gives you extra flexibility for guests, work, hobbies or simply more breathing room. An adjacent gated pavilion offers private storage for an RV or boat and pets are allowed, making this rare lease even easier to settle into. As a quirky bonus, the Austin Zoo is just beyond the greenbelt, so you might even hear a lion’s roar now and then, a wild little reminder that this home is truly unlike any other. Move-in ready and full of character, this is your chance to live the experience the lifestyle, views, privacy, space, casita and all, without the commitment of buying.
