121 Burgess Ln, Austin, TX 78738
What's special
Backing directly onto the protected Golden-Cheeked Warbler Preserve, this is where you find a rare property where every amenity you could ever want is already built in — an ultra-private, majestic canyon backdrop framing every entertaining space, the primary retreat, and outdoor living area. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac within the luxury gated Estates section of Ridge at Alta Vista, spanning over 7,500 square feet, the residence seamlessly balances grand-scale entertaining with intimate everyday comfort — and is set against the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve greenbelt, minutes from Bee Cave, Lakeway, and the Hill Country Galleria. The main level flows effortlessly between formal and casual living, anchored by a chef's kitchen and a main-floor primary retreat with canyon views and a fully renovated 2025 bathroom. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms share a fully remodeled Jack-and-Jill bath, while a third enjoys its own private en-suite. Across the hallway from the oversized loft you'll find a professional-grade media room fully equipped with projector, screen, and audio speakers, completing the upper level. The entertaining possibilities culminate in the fully finished, walk-out lower level basement — a true rarity in Austin — providing just over 2,500 square feet of recreational bliss: bar, media lounge, gym, game room, and a stunning built-in fish tank. Outside, a covered living area with fireplace, pool, and elevated spa sits at the edge of the protected preserve — canyon views, total privacy, no rear neighbors. Alta Vista's amenity center adds a junior-Olympic pool with splash area, tennis and basketball courts, indoor gym, billiard room, playscape, and clubhouse. A three-car garage, a new pool pump, and whole-home surge protection complete a property where the infrastructure is as considered as the finishes. This is what it looks like when nothing is missing.
