A Heyl Homes Custom Estate, Fully Updated and Refinished in 2025. For the Buyer Seeking Quality, Privacy, and Immediate Enjoyment.

Set on 1.587 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated Amarra at Barton Creek community, this single-level Heyl Homes residence commands sweeping east-facing Hill Country views. Built in 2015 and comprehensively renovated in 2025 for $500,000, the 5,248-square-foot home offers four en-suite bedrooms, a dedicated study, two half baths, and dramatic entertaining spaces—move-in ready, every capital improvement completed.

STYLE

Striking walls of cut Texas stone anchor the principal rooms, lending warmth and permanence alongside refined contemporary finishes—a house built to last and designed to be lived in. The bedrooms and study are deliberately set apart, offering quiet privacy from the entertaining core.

INTERIORS & ENTERTAINING

Entry, great room, dining, kitchen, and family room flow continuously, anchored by two fireplaces and notably tall ceilings. Every wall and ceiling elevated to a Level 5 smooth finish via three-coat plaster, providing a gallery-quality backdrop throughout. A comprehensive LED lighting package, in-ceiling sound system, honed countertops, and designer fans complete the refresh.

KITCHEN, WET BAR & PANTRY

Professional-grade appliances, wine refrigerator, reverse osmosis filtration, and a dedicated wet bar with beverage refrigerator and ice maker.

GARAGE & SYSTEMS

The three-car garage has its own HVAC system and four 220V outlets. Improvements also include fiber optic broadband, a new dedicated primary HVAC, upgraded attic insulation, and a renewed and expanded irrigation system.

GROUNDS

Pool, spa, integrated terrace and grill area are oriented toward panoramic Hill Country. Original Thompson+Hanson landscaping expanded and upgraded.

At $972/sqft, this home is priced 149% above the Austin active market average of $391/sqft, reflecting premium positioning, typically tied to finishes, lot, location, or view. View Austin market report →
