About This Home

As of March 2025

BEHIND THESE GATES IS YOUR “FOREVER” HOME! 5408 Cuesta Verde offers a breathtaking panorama that spans from the iconic Pennybaker Bridge to the historic UT Tower, encompassing the verdant Austin Country Club, serene Lake Austin, and the picturesque hills of west Austin. The home was meticulously designed and built by Steven Dell and now benefits from enhanced security being located just a block from Michael Dell's estate.

The home is located on two full one-acre lots. The house is fully on one acre. You will have lots of choices; enjoy this beautiful home and leave one acre for recreation on the existing sports court, sell the one vacant acre or build your dream mega-mansion smack in the middle creating one of the most distinctive estates in town.

When you enter the home, you are greeted with a 2-story wall of windows capturing that magnificent view. Whether it’s coffee in the morning or cocktails after five, it will be almost impossible to take your eyes off the view from the three balconies.

Live life to the fullest in this 6,136-square-foot home. Greeting you is a dramatic staircase leading to the secondary bedrooms and a large game room. The second-story wall of windows shines bright on the wide-open family room below. Back on the main level, the primary wing of the home greets you with a luxurious spa-like bathroom, an expansive custom closet, a very pleasing fireplace, and its own balcony with a view all the way to the UT Tower. This wing also contains a large custom his/her office with plenty of shelves and cabinets.

The ground floor is designed for entertainment and relaxation, boasting a media room, a home gym, and direct access to the pool, spa, and pergola. This seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces creates an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations.

Don’t miss this opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind home with its one-of-a-kind view! Call your Realtor today to schedule a private tour.
