About this property

A "magical retreat" space complete with hiking trails, and multi-level vistas encased
in a peaceful, 5-acre valley just 15 minutes west of downtown. 8 water features, culminating in a 90,000-gallon rain-fed pool

The space

The Paintbrush Casita is a studio space with a kitchenette and full bathroom. There are lots of open spaces with an abundance of natural light all around. The extensive 5-acre property offers vistas and hiking amongst natural and sculptural pieces all around. Pathways can lead you to the 3 Ponds or down to the spectacular Pool, complete with a Grotto and waterfall. The covered parking Pavilion is nestled into the rocky hillside. A highlight is an impressive 4-ton pink granite ball fountain that spins on a tiny amount of water...impressing people of all ages.

The property has the feel of the Austin Hill Country but is only minutes from downtown Austin. You will be left in awe by the uniqueness and grandeur of this beautiful respite in the city.

This is a five-acre property with some rough terrain and lots of uneven stone stairs, so sensible shoes/tennis shoes are recommended during your stay.

Great retreat

An absolutely beautiful place! We loved our walks around the property and time sipping wine next to the bubbling coy pond. We will come again!

Unique and beautiful property

My husband and I stayed in this studio unit in April. It was wonderful to find such a secluded oasis so close to Austin. We enjoyed exploring the grounds with the various sculpture pieces and little touches of art. We loved relaxing on the patio with a cup of coffee listening to the sounds of the fountain and being surrounded by nature. The pool was not quite ready for swimmers when we visited, but we enjoyed walking the trails to see it. The unit itself is a work of art with beautiful limestone stonework and an ornate shower. We left our stay feeling rested and recharged.
