Property Description
Now for sale, this HGTV-featured glass and steel masterpiece currently operates as a successful short-term rental, making it an ideal opportunity for frequent travelers. While you're away, the property generates approximately $7,000 per month in rental income—the perfect blend of personal comfort and smart investment. Designed as an architect's personal retreat and featured as a central filming location for an upcoming movie, this breathtaking home offers a unique combination of luxury living and financial opportunity.
Nestled on a private hillside cul-de-sac, the home offers seamless indoor-outdoor living with 30-foot glass walls and 11 sliding doors, creating a treehouse-like ambiance. Expansive decks and patios on all four sides provide panoramic Hill Country and greenbelt views, while a dramatic rock wall and bridge entryway enhance its stunning design. Private access to Indian Creek Trail leads to a seasonal-fed creek and waterfalls, a peaceful retreat year-round. The upstairs suite offers three private decks perfect for watching the sunrise. The downstairs suite features an open-air shower with three ceiling-mounted shower-heads, a jetted tub for two, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls that bring nature inside.
This home has been meticulously updated, featuring a new standing seam metal roof (2024), a fully replaced HVAC system (2023) including a two-ton mini-split in the upstairs bedroom, and a new dishwasher (2025).
A rare second lot conveys, offering space for a guest house, pool, or workshop. Located in Apache Shores, residents enjoy exclusive Lake Austin access with a private boat launch, a lake park, pool, tennis, basketball courts, an 18-hole disc golf course, volleyball court, soccer field, and a clubhouse. Just minutes from Lake Travis, Lakeway, and the Hill Country Galleria, with downtown Austin only 30 minutes away.
This one-of-a-kind retreat offers modern luxury, architectural brilliance, and a deep connection to nature. Don't miss out!
