Map & Owner's Profile
Barton Hills Tree House - Walking Distance to Barton Springs
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Austin
Barton Hills is a serene close to downtown location that is full of trees and nestled up against Barton Creek greenbelt. The house is one block away from the Barton Creek and sits high above it. Everything is so green and peaceful. I love the architecture of this house because of the wood floors and high ceilings that are also covered with wood.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This house is wonderful with its multi levels and great lighting. It has four decks so it relates to the outdoors beautifully. The third floor deck is great for views. I have solar panels for electricity and for hot water. Dimmers are installed everywhere for great ambient lighting at night. I have operated an award winning hotel since 1985 and I bring that experience to this house.
Owner's Map of Austin
I love ecology and I use earth friendly products to maintain the house. I founded and steward "Casa de Luz" which is an educational community center that is 1.4 miles from the house. We serve 3 macrobiotic meals a day to the public but we do not advertise it.
In 1985 I developed Habitat Suites Hotel, one of the first all suite hotels in the U.S. To this day we have received 15 awards for our ecological initiatives. I bring hotel professionalism to this Barton Hills house.
