This is a rare Westlake property where location, views, and custom architecture converge. Situated on nearly one acre in a dead-end setting, 1414 The High Road commands exceptional sightlines: direct downtown Austin skyline views, Mt. Bonnell sunrise, and documented fireworks visibility. The property backs to a private wooded canyon, delivering the uncommon combination of premium views with complete privacy and serene living.

Built in 2012 to owner specifications, every detail reflects intentional design. The 4 bed / 4.5 bath home spans 5,631 sf of meticulously finished living space. East-facing orientation avoids afternoon heat. The first-floor primary suite functions as a private retreat, complete with dedicated office and spa-quality bathroom featuring dual marble sinks, dual-head shower, heated towel racks, and coffee bar.

The property is proven for entertaining at scale. Documented salon concerts have been hosted here, with musicians noting exceptional acoustics. The home features a 110" 4K media room, 500-bottle wine cooler with marble bar, and 1,200+ sf of covered outdoor living including veranda with fireplace, full outdoor kitchen, and fire pit area overlooking downtown. Pool and spa complete the outdoor infrastructure. A 48" Wolf cooktop, dual ovens, two islands, and butler's pantry support the entertainer's kitchen.

Whole-house A/V integration runs throughout. The climate-controlled 3-car garage offers 10.5-ft ceilings, EV charger, and 220V service. Two upstairs en-suite bedrooms provide guest accommodation. Electronic gate with app control manages access to the stone paver driveway.

Located in Eanes ISD, 15 minutes from downtown and under 10 minutes from Lake Austin. The asking price reflects the asset. We invite your offer.

At $932/sqft, this home is priced 138% above the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →

Neighborhood Context

About Westlake Hills

Westlake Hills is Austin's most prestigious address. The small city of Westlake Hills sits in the hills west of Austin proper - with views of the city skyline, the Texas Hill Country, and Lake Austin visible from many properties. It is where Austin's most successful executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals choose to live.

The primary driver of Westlake's demand is Eanes ISD - consistently ranked among the top school districts in Texas and regularly appearing on national top-100 lists. Families move to Westlake specifically for Westlake High School, and the school's reputation sustains property values through every market cycle.

🎓
Eanes ISD

Westlake High School is among the top public high schools in Texas. AP course offerings, athletics, and college matriculation rates rival private schools. This is the #1 driver of Westlake real estate demand.

🏔️
Hill Country Views

Elevated terrain means many homes have panoramic views of downtown Austin's skyline, Lake Austin, and the surrounding hill country. Views add significant value and are irreplaceable.

🔒
Privacy & Security

Many Westlake properties are set back from the road on large lots, often in gated communities. The density is far lower than inside Austin proper.

⏱️
Downtown Access

Despite feeling removed, Westlake is 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Austin via MoPac. The hills buffer from city noise without sacrificing access.
