Austin’s Most Expensive Homes on the Market

As developers pack properties with high-end amenities and extravagant perks, one feature remains in highest demand: the view. Downtown’s skyline keeps climbing, and the cliffs above the lakes are filling with new mansions, leaving fewer angles for a floor-to-ceiling window to frame. From live oaks draped across the hills to sunsets over the water, these luxury listings show that Austin’s most coveted amenity is the city itself.

6607 W Courtyard Drive | $9,998,000

5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 1 partial bathroom | 5,780 sq. ft.

A private trail at 6607 W. Courtyard Drive leads to a negative-edge pool with a full view of the Austin skyline. Sleek, modern architecture frames floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lake Austin, the Pennybacker Bridge and the growing cluster of downtown skyscrapers. While the views give the home a high-in-the-sky feel, indoor and outdoor amenities keep it grounded — an outdoor kitchen, rooftop living area and a grassy courtyard separating the main house from the guest suite. Inside, a chef-worthy kitchen and ample creature comforts add to the appeal.

The Prominence of Austin | $13,900,000 

6 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, 4 partial bathrooms | 14,113 sq. ft.

In Barton Creek’s gated Mirador Escala community, the aptly named Prominence of Austin is a Mediterranean-inspired hilltop retreat with quick access to the city. Built in 2003 and renovated between 2018 and 2023, the home features old-world techniques and high-end stucco for a sense of permanence often found in European estates. Despite its proximity to downtown, the property overlooks unspoiled Barton Creek hills and a canopy of live oaks. Guest quarters offer a living room, kitchen, private entrance and laundry for complete independence from the main house. A pool, hot tub, lush landscaping and natural tones create a tranquil setting, while the home’s security and privacy add peace of mind.

At more than 150 years old, 811 Congress still feels like a home from the future once inside. The historic property has been fully renovated with modern amenities, from a rooftop pool shaded by skyscrapers to a media room with a projector screen. Original limestone walls and brick from the home’s construction are paired with natural textures such as wood doors, wall panels and greyscale bathroom tiles, creating a timeless, earthy aesthetic. Zoned for flexible use, the property’s generous square footage could accommodate a boutique office or gallery in a prime downtown location with an unmatched commute.

The Sunset Point | $17,000,000

5 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 2 partial bathrooms | 7,738 sq. ft.

From its perch on a lakeside peninsula, Sunset Point offers uninterrupted views of Lake Travis sunsets. Built in 2012, the Spanish revival mansion combines access to nature with modern luxury, including a grandfathered boat dock and tram to the water. The infinity-edge pool appears to spill directly into the lake, while inside, contemporary finishes mix with traditional touches such as wood-beam ceilings and an open-concept layout. On rare nights when the views aren’t enough, the home’s screening room offers another way to unwind.
