Keep Austin Wild — in the best way possible. This South Austin gem blends the convenience of city living with the serenity of nature. Located on 1/3 acre of lush native vegetation, the home is just minutes from downtown and a stone’s throw away from Wheatsville Co-op, Radio Coffee, and a private entrance to the Barton Creek Greenbelt. At the heart of the property is a magnificent garden, thoughtfully designed as a peaceful retreat. Certified as a Wildlife Habitat and once featured on Austin PBS, it’s a space that invites you to reconnect with the earth, your senses, and your primal roots. Birds sing, a gentle fountain flows, and every corner of the garden encourages you to breathe deeper and slow down. The landscape includes 20+ fruit-bearing trees—varieties of apple, pear, peach, plum, persimmon, fig, elderberry, mulberry, and pomegranate—adding beauty, biodiversity, and seasonal abundance to your backyard sanctuary. Inside, the home offers two distinct living areas filled with natural light—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Bright, airy bedrooms and modern finishes throughout create a fresh, welcoming atmosphere. Step onto the covered patio, where a wood-paneled ceiling and fan provide the perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor meals, or quiet evenings under the trees. Just beyond, a detached studio offers endless possibilities—perfect for a home office, art space, or private guest retreat. The property also includes a paid-off solar panel system, delivering long-term energy efficiency and qualifying for a special solar exemption through the Travis County Appraisal District—lowering your property taxes while supporting a sustainable lifestyle. If you value biodiversity, sustainability, and a home that reflects those ideals, you’ll feel the difference here.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
