About this property
Ladybird Villa - Heated Saltwater Pool - Walk to SoCo
Perched on a hillside in one of Austin's most sought-after neighborhoods, this lush retreat offers three distinct layers of living: a private casita with kitchenette and outdoor firepit lounge, a sparkling saltwater pool framed by limestone and lush greenery, and a main house with two bedrooms, two baths, and soaring windows. Natural landscaping flows throughout, creating a hidden sanctuary minutes from downtown, SoCo, and Lady Bird Lake.
The Space
This home unfolds like a private resort, designed with intention at every level. At the top of the hill, a detached casita serves as its own hideaway with a queen bed, full bath, and kitchenette—perfect for guests craving privacy. Just outside, a firepit terrace invites conversations under the oak canopy and twinkling night sky.
Follow the landscaped stone steps down, and you’ll discover the centerpiece: a saltwater pool surrounded by limestone walls, layered greenery, and architectural plantings. It’s a serene escape where mornings stretch long with coffee poolside and evenings glow under soft landscape lighting.
Descending further, the main house reveals itself with glass doors and light pouring into its open plan. The kitchen blends farmhouse charm with modern touches, flowing into a dining space framed by a wall of windows and the greenery beyond. The living area is warm and inviting, anchored by thoughtful design details. Two bedrooms and two full baths round out this level - the primary with a king bed and the second with a queen - each styled for both comfort and calm.
Together, the casita, pool, and main house create a rare Austin experience - luxury wrapped in nature, yet just minutes from the energy of South Congress, downtown, and Lady Bird Lake.
Please Note
The home is accessed through the back alley. Parking is available for two cars on the property. Any additional vehicles may use free street parking at the end of the alleyway.

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.
