Austin, TX 78734
Perched among the trees on a secluded hillside cul de sac, this iconic glass and steel masterpiece offers a living experience unlike anything else in Austin. Featured on HGTV and the filming location for several documentaries, this architect designed home is both a work of art and a successful short term rental, offering the opportunity to enjoy an extraordinary private retreat while generating income when not in use. Originally designed as an architect's personal residence, the home features soaring 30 foot glass walls and 11 sliding glass doors that blur the line between indoors and out, creating a true treehouse experience. Expansive decks and patios surround the home with panoramic Hill Country and greenbelt views, while a dramatic rock wall and bridge entry create an unforgettable first impression. A private trail leads to Indian Creek with seasonal waterfalls and swimming holes. The upstairs primary suite offers three private decks, while the downstairs retreat features floor to ceiling glass, an open air shower with three rain shower heads, and a jetted soaking tub for two. Recent updates include a standing seam metal roof in 2024, a new HVAC system in 2023 with an upstairs mini split, and a new dishwasher in 2025. A rare second lot conveys with the sale, providing space for a guest house, pool, workshop, or additional privacy. Located in Apache Shores, residents enjoy private Lake Austin access with a boat launch, lakeside park, pool, tennis and basketball courts, volleyball, soccer, disc golf, and a clubhouse. Just minutes from Lake Travis, Lakeway, the Hill Country Galleria, and about 30 minutes from downtown Austin, this one of a kind property offers exceptional architecture, natural beauty, and investment potential.
