The building offers amenities including a gym, a media room, and a pool deck with Hill Country views.
Southeast Austin
Sooner or later, many city dwellers dream of a sort of semirustic respite in an old house with a little land around it—such as this Southeast Austin “ranchito,” not far from the Circuit of the Americas, with around 10 acres, a renovated 100-year-old house (3,000 square feet, four bedrooms, three bathrooms), a pole barn, and a workshop. All that for an asking price of $650,000.
Far North Austin

Located in the Spicewood At Balcones Villages community in Far North Austin, the 3,014-square-foot home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and is asking $600,000. It has a patio and pool under mature trees, and the community amenities include a golf course, tennis courts, swimming pools, and club house.
Bouldin Creek
A small but adorable one-story cottage with a bonus, backyard studio is seeking $639,900 in Bouldin Creek. The 786-square-foot house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and has a mix of original or period features and contemporary updates. The 300-square-foot studio is in back, as are a stone patio, large shade trees, and a detached garage.
