The Space
Welcome to an extraordinary retreat nestled in the heart of Austin’s Hill Country, where nature and modern luxury blend seamlessly on 3 private acres. This property offers a unique experience, perfect for families, groups, or anyone looking to escape into a natural haven while still being close to the vibrant city life of Austin.
You will enter the property through a gate, and you’ll find a carport for convenient parking. You may also park in the driveway in front of the garage, outside of the gate.
The Main House
The centerpiece of the property is a large A-frame house designed for both relaxation and play. Inside, you’ll find multiple living rooms, vaulted ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The fully equipped kitchen allows for family meals or hosting, with a dining area that opens to a rock courtyard with a fountain.
The incredible master bedroom is located on the ground floor, and includes a gas fireplace and large windows with views of the private patio and surrounding landscape. The master bathroom features a soaking tub with a view of the landscape, a dual shower, a heated towel-warming rack, a dual sink and “His & Her’s” toilets.
Upstairs, the mezzanine boasts a mini living room and a kids’ play area with toys and games. 2 additional bedrooms upstairs provide ample sleeping space, one with a queen bed and the other with 2 full-sized beds and a daybed.
Each bedroom has a minimum of one walk-in closet for ample storage.
The Casita
Perched above a small staircase, the Casita offers a studio apartment. It includes a king bed, sleeper couch, kitchenette, and full bathroom. Enjoy morning coffee on the balcony, taking in the views and sounds of nature.
Yoga & Game Room
Beneath the Casita is a wellness and game space, equipped with yoga mats, workout equipment, a mini fridge, a ping pong table, and even the Lululemon interactive Mirror.
Outdoor Amenities
In one area, you’ll find a pool surrounded by natural stone and lounge chairs, perfect for soaking up the sun. The pool can be heated and transformed into a hot tub, making it ideal for both refreshing dips and cozy evening soaks. Right next to the pool is a steam room complete with an outdoor shower, to create your own spa experience.
At the far end of the property, you’ll discover a play area for children. The playground includes swings, slides, climbing, a large trampoline, and a zip line, ensuring hours of entertainment.
Flex Space
Across from the main house is a small space with an office and a dedicated area for kids to play and create art. With supplies for crafts and toys, it’s an ideal spot for children to explore their creativity while the adults catch up on work.
Nature and Wildlife
The property is home to 3 resident peacocks—Cosmo, Dino, and Siena—who roam freely, adding a unique charm to the estate. This fenced-in 3-acre property is shaded by oak trees and surrounded by flower gardens, offering a tranquil environment with both privacy and a sense of adventure.
However, as the property is set in nature, guests should be aware that they may encounter local wildlife, such as armadillos, snakes, or scorpions. While the property is maintained with safety in mind, it’s important to stay mindful of the natural surroundings.
This property is more than just a place to stay—it’s a full experience. Whether you’re here for a family vacation, wellness retreat, or special occasion, The Peacock Nature Oasis will be an unforgettable stay.
