Cat Mountain

The Setting

Take the visual tour. You won’t believe your eyes. The spectacular views from Cat Mountain rank among the most sought after in central Texas. Proud homeowners can view Jester Estates and Shepherd Mountain to the West. A panoramic view to the South includes Mount Bonnell, the downtown skyline, Westlake, the Austin Country Club Golf Course, Lake Austin, and its highly photographed landmark Bridge. Multiple decks are the rule here, where you can expect winding streets, rock terraces and lush landscaping. Developed by a number of high-end custom builders from the 1980’s to present, the neighborhood homes are characterized by a high degree of individuality and originality, ranging from traditional to contemporary to Mediterranean. About 600 homes in total, they range in size from 1700 to 6000 sqft., with prices ranging from $180,000 to well over $1,000,000. Certain subdivision sections, known as the Cat Mountain Villas, enjoy centrally located clubhouse facilities, tennis, swimming and a playground.
