Ladybird Villa - Heated Salt Pool - Walk to SoCo | House in Austin

Summary:
Perched on a hillside in Travis Heights, one of Austin's most sought-after neighborhoods, this lush retreat offers three distinct layers of living: a private one bedroom, one bath Casita with kitchenette and outdoor firepit lounge, a heated saltwater pool framed by limestone and lush greenery, and a main house with two bedrooms, two baths, and soaring windows. Natural landscaping flows throughout, creating a hidden sanctuary minutes from downtown, SoCo, and Lady Bird Lake.
The Space:
This home unfolds like a private resort, designed with intention at every level. At the top of the hill, a detached casita serves as its own hideaway with a queen bed, full bath, and kitchenette—perfect for guests craving privacy. Just outside, a firepit terrace invites conversations under the oak canopy and twinkling night sky.
Follow the landscaped stone steps down, and you’ll discover the centerpiece: a heated saltwater pool surrounded by limestone walls, layered greenery, and architectural plantings. It’s a serene escape where mornings stretch long with coffee poolside and evenings glow under soft landscape lighting.
Descending further, the main house reveals itself with glass doors and light pouring into its open plan. The kitchen blends farmhouse charm with modern touches, equipped with eco-friendly cookware, flowing into a dining space framed by a wall of windows and the greenery beyond. The living area is warm and inviting, anchored by thoughtful design details. Two bedrooms and two full baths round out this level - the primary with a king bed and the second with a queen - each styled for both comfort and calm.
Together, the casita, pool, and main house create a rare Austin experience - luxury wrapped in nature, yet just minutes from the energy of South Congress, downtown, and 2 blocks from the Lady Bird Lake boardwalk.
