Tucked into South Austin, this five-bedroom house is built around a backyard that earns its own billing – a sleek rectangular pool, a fire pit for late evenings, and a covered outdoor kitchen that makes alfresco cooking easy. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame it all from the living room, so the garden is present whether you're inside or out. When the group needs to wind down, the main suite's spa-inspired en-suite – skylit, marble-tiled, with a concrete soaking bathtub – delivers a quieter kind of luxury. A dedicated workspace and small gym mean longer stays are well catered for too.
