About this property

Private Pool + Firepit | Hill Views | Mins to Lake Travis | Hunters Estate

Welcome to Hunters Estate, a striking hillside retreat that captures the spirit of Austin through bold design, sweeping views, and elevated living at every turn.

Set high above the rolling landscape of the Lake Travis area, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom luxury home offers a private vantage point over the hills while keeping you close to everything that makes Austin unforgettable. Spend your days boating on Lake Travis, teeing off at nearby golf courses, exploring the boutiques and waterfront restaurants of Lakeway, or heading into downtown Austin for live music on Rainey Street and dinner in the Warehouse District. Then return to your own architectural sanctuary in the sky.

From the moment you arrive, the home's modern exterior makes a statement. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-concept living space with natural light, blurring the line between indoors and out. Clean lines, contemporary finishes, and curated decor define this design-forward home—every detail thoughtfully selected to create a space that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.

The living room is bright and airy, anchored by comfortable seating and a television, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day on the lake or in the city. The seamless layout flows into the dining area and fully equipped kitchen, where sleek surfaces, generous counter space, and barstool seating invite slow breakfasts, celebratory dinners, and everything in between. Whether you're cooking a multi-course meal or prepping snacks before a sunset swim, you'll have all the essentials at your fingertips.

The primary suite is a true showpiece. Wake up to soft morning light and retreat to an ensuite bathroom that feels like a private spa, complete with breathtaking tilework, striking flooring, dual sinks, and a sculptural standalone tub designed for long, luxurious soaks. Four additional bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility for family and friends, ensuring everyone has their own space to recharge.

Outside, the experience only gets better. The private pool overlooks the hills, creating a serene backdrop for sun-soaked afternoons on the loungers. As evening falls, gather around the firepit for cozy conversations under a wide Texas sky, or enjoy open-air dinners in the al fresco dining area while the landscape glows in golden-hour light.

At Hunters Estate, you're not just booking a stay—you're stepping into a one-of-a-kind Austin experience where architecture, scenery, and connection come together beautifully.

With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we're at your fingertips.

There are so many reasons to love Austin, and its incredible barbecue is just one. The live music capital of the world, Austin has a thriving art scene and a party culture to match. Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks. Spend your days on the lake's crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to "keep Austin weird," which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.

We stayed at this property in May to celebrate a milestone 50th birthday with a group of college friends, and it was a fantastic choice for our getaway.The home is beautifully designed and thoughtfully laid out for a group. While the finishes may not be ultra high-end, the overall aesthetic feels elevated and very well done. The beds were exceptionally comfortable—everyone in our group commented on how well they slept, which is always a huge win.The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials we needed, and the living room had plenty of comfortable seating for us to relax, catch up, and spend quality time together. It truly felt like a space designed for connection.The property is about a 45-minute ride into downtown Austin, so it’s a bit removed from the action, but that also made it feel more relaxed and private.AvantStay was easy to work with—communication was prompt and responsive whenever we had a question, which made the experience smooth from start to finish.Overall, this was a wonderful stay and a great setting for a special celebration. We’d absolutely consider staying again.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review — and congratulations on the milestone celebration! We're so glad the home offered the perfect setting to reconnect with college friends, and it's wonderful to hear the layout, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen all contributed to a relaxing and memorable getaway. We also appreciate your kind words about our team's responsiveness throughout your stay. We'd love to welcome you and your group back for another special occasion anytime!
