5 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 7685292 MLS ⋅ 78732 Zip Code
Two gates stand between 6913 Cielo Azul Pass and the rest of Austin: the gated entrance to Villa Montana and a private gated driveway. With stone masonry and clean architectural lines, the two-story home pairs Hill Country views with a backyard built for slow weekends at home and long evenings outside. Five bedrooms, four full baths, and 3,854 square feet fill two levels. Inside, an open floor plan joins the kitchen, dining room, and living room under high ceilings, with polished concrete floors and walls of glass that open to the outdoor terrace. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen centers on a large island with warm wood cabinetry, and a wet bar sits just off the covered patio. Off the foyer, a bedroom with tall windows works well as a home office, with a full bath right next door. The main-level primary suite pairs a bedroom framed by tall windows with a primary bath featuring a deep soaking tub, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, a double vanity, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, a large game room, three bedrooms and two full baths give everyone room to spread out, and an open-to-below space keeps the second floor connected to the living areas below. A laundry room, a mudroom with built-in lockers and a utility sink, and an attached garage round out the plan. Out back, the covered patio and its warm wood ceiling look over the private pool, a lawn bordered by a stone wall, and stunning Hill Country views. Bar seating under the patio ceiling sits steps from the water. Villa Montana keeps Lake Travis close, with nearby marinas for weekend boat days and an easy drive into downtown Austin for work or a night out. Back home, the gate closes behind you, and the pool lights come on.
