About the owner: Zen Canyon was designed and built to my specifications by akiHomes, a portfolio company of akiCapital. For several decades, I have practiced Zen and lived from time to time in monasteries where I sought tranquility, simplicity, and peace in spiritual space. I built the 3 leval Grand Loft of this home for myself, and the 2 level Guest House and Sky Blue Pool for visits by my children, grand children, and closed friends. My friends at HomeAway suggested that I extend an invitation to people who may be seeking a getaway retreat in the heart of Austin.
Why the Owner Chose Other Austin Properties:
My private estate, which I have named Zen Canyon, is located high on the ridge of a deep, expansive canyon filled with trees and families of deer and other wild life. Our canyon is located on North Cat Mountain, the first mountain north of Cat Mountain which is north of Austin's famous Mt. Bonnel. Zen Canyon evokes a sense of connection to the surrounding canyon below, and green tree tops and blue sky above. At Zen Canyon, 'inside and outside form an inseparable pair..., linking the two in a balanced relationship.'
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Ever dream of living in a tree house, high above it all in the tree tops opening to expansive views? Of entering your living space from a deck open to an ancient oak above, and a forest of mountain laurels below? Of being able to commune with nature on one of six observation decks with hill country or canyon views? And, at the same time, to have all the amenities of the city of Austin within a short drive? Then Zen Canyon is for you and your family.
