Jester Estates

…Cloudscaped with Spectacular Panoramic Views

The Setting

An island of serenity nestled high atop a long mountain ridge, Jester Estates is the ultimate for unspoiled canyon views and quiet winding streets. Some homeowners can even view Lake Austin, which is only 1/2 mile away. Even though the neighborhood has been developed in sections from the 1980’s to present, it has preserved the appearance of a master-planned community, architecturally consistent, with a centralized community pool, tennis courts and a playground. A strong Homeowner’s Association assures safety and provides numerous enjoyable activities throughout the year. Teeming with deer & wildlife, Jester is an island onto itself, providing for light traffic and quiet evening strolls in view of the sunset. The custom neighborhood homes are characterized by a high degree of individuality and originality, ranging from traditional to contemporary. Predominant builders in the area include Rado Custom Classics/ Weekly Homes and Brighton Homes, with new construction of the larger floorplans underway in various sections. The open floorplans are enhanced by custom features and are typified by a contemporary interior including high ceilings and light wood. All the homes, about 800 in total, range in size from 1700 to 4500 sqft., with prices ranging from $200,000 to $600,000.
