2716 Tether Trail

This property is defined by its placement and outlook, situated within one of Austin’s most coveted natural corridors.

Overlooking Barton Creek and the surrounding ravine, this Barton Hills residence benefits from an elevation that is increasingly difficult to replicate—expansive sightlines, a dense mature tree canopy, and a sense of privacy rarely found so close to downtown Austin.

The home is thoughtfully placed on the lot to take full advantage of its surroundings, with the outdoor experience serving as the central focal point of the site.

From the rear of the home, layered decks extend into the landscape, overlooking a resort-style pool, stone walkways, and lush native plantings. The elevation creates a feeling of retreat and distance from the world below—quiet, grounded, and immersive. Days unfold easily outdoors, with shaded afternoons beneath the trees and evenings marked by soft light filtering across the terrain beyond.

The residence spans approximately 1,830 square feet and provides three bedrooms and two full baths across a multi-level layout that allows for natural separation between living, sleeping, and entertaining spaces. Interiors feel warm and inviting, with vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and direct access to multiple decks and patios.

The primary suite allows for outdoor access and peaceful views, along with a dual en-suite bath and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms are complemented by a designated office area, providing flexibility for remote work, creative pursuits, or additional living space. Bathrooms are well maintained and neutral in tone, presenting a solid foundation for future personalization if desired.

The homesite encompasses roughly 0.415 acres, with established trees and terraced landscaping that feel organic and intentional. A two-car garage and additional storage areas add everyday functionality without detracting from the overall character of the environment.

Located within the highly sought-after Barton Hills neighborhood, the home feeds into Barton Hills Elementary, O. Henry Middle School, and Austin High School, and is just minutes from Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, Lady Bird Lake, and downtown Austin.

Together, these elements culminate in the opportunity to own above the greenbelt below, where the land, views, and lifestyle cannot be recreated. Whether enjoyed as-is, thoughtfully refreshed over time, or held as a long-term investment in one of Austin’s most protected corridors, this property provides an irreplaceable foundation.
