Tucked into the wooded hillside offering something increasingly hard to find in Austin: a small footprint that still feels connected to the outdoors. The covered patio peaks into nature, creating a peaceful extension of the living space and a welcome buffer from city life.

Inside a well-designed floor plan keeps things simple and functional, with bamboo flooring, open kitchen and living area, walk-in closet and laundry room. The north-facing orientation makes the treetop outlook the focal point.

Montevista sits near the intersection of Loop 360 and 2222, putting Lake Austin, the Pennybacker Bridge area and nearby hiking and recreation within easy reach while maintaining convenient access toward West Austin, the Arboretum and central Austin.

Residents also have access to community pools, hot tub, fitness center, clubhouse, grilling areas and maintained common grounds. A low-maintenance Austin home base where the view is trees instead of traffic.
