Natural landscaping flows throughout, creating a hidden sanctuary minutes from downtown, SoCo, and Lady Bird Lake.

The main house features open living, a farmhouse kitchen, and two serene bedrooms—surrounded by nature yet minutes from South Congress and downtown.

Why they chose this property
You’ll find yourself in one of the most dynamic enclaves of Austin - where lush green hillsides meet downtown skyline energy. Around here, mornings might begin with paddleboarding or jogging along Lady Bird Lake; afternoons drift into iced coffee at nearby local cafés or browsing the eclectic shops of SoCo and South Lamar.
Food lovers rejoice - this neighborhood brims with standout spots: tacos, barbecue, Tex-Mex, craft cocktails, and fresh eats are all within a few short miles. When the sun sets, live music venues, art galleries, and casual rooftops come alive.
Despite its buzz, the vibe remains peaceful. Tree-lined steps lead you through terraced gardens, quiet patios, and naturally landscaped spaces so it feels like an oasis in the city. It’s the kind of place that balances vibrant Austin culture with retreat-style calm - perfect for those who want both adventure and rest.

What makes this property unique
What sets Ladybird Villa apart is the way it blends luxury with nature across three levels of living. A private hillside casita with its own kitchenette and firepit terrace, a saltwater pool tucked into lush landscaping, and a light-filled main house create an experience that feels like your own boutique resort. Few homes in Austin offer this much privacy, character, and outdoor beauty—yet still sit just minutes from downtown, SoCo, and Lady Bird Lake.
