Mount Bonnell Terrace | A Private Austin Estate Above the City. Few Austin addresses offer this combination of privacy, natural beauty and proximity to Downtown. Situated on .69 acres, this secluded estate is surrounded by towering trees and a wooded hillside with Mount Bonnell as its backdrop. A meticulously landscaped lawn and winding driveway lead to an exquisite residence designed with timeless architecture and refined style. Soaring ceilings, crown molding, rich wood floors and plantation shutters lend understated elegance, while generous windows keep the natural setting in view. The formal living room features a masonry fireplace, while the main living level opens to a dramatic dining and gathering space with oversized windows, a second fireplace, illuminated glass cabinetry and designer lighting. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen pairs ceiling-height custom cabinetry and glass display uppers with an oversized island, second sink, professional gas range, double wall ovens and integrated appliances. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with soaring ceilings, fireplace and wooded views. Its bath features dual vanities, freestanding soaking tub and oversized two-person shower. Three additional bedrooms offer hardwood floors, tall ceilings and distinctive architectural details. Outside, the property becomes a private resort with pool and spa, covered entertaining spaces and a detached guest house. Its lower level offers a climate-controlled fitness studio or flexible space; upstairs, a one-bedroom apartment includes a living area, kitchenette, full bath and pool-view balcony - ideal for guests, multigenerational living or a secluded retreat.
