Property Description

Welcome to 2803 Manitou Drive, a breathtaking blend of architecture and nature in one of Austin's most unique homes. Designed as an architect's personal retreat, this HGTV-featured glass and steel masterpiece was also a central filming location for an upcoming movie. Nestled on a private hillside cul-de-sac, the home offers seamless indoor-outdoor living with 30-foot glass walls and 11 sliding doors, creating a treehouse-like ambiance.

Expansive decks and patios on all four sides provide panoramic Hill Country and greenbelt views, while a dramatic rock wall and bridge entryway enhance its stunning design. Private access to Indian Creek Trail—just a one-minute walk away—leads to a seasonal-fed creek and waterfalls, a peaceful retreat year-round. The upstairs suite offers three private decks and an in-room coffee cart, perfect for watching the sunrise. The downstairs suite features an open-air shower with three ceiling-mounted shower-heads, a jetted tub for two, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls that bring nature inside.

This home has been meticulously updated, featuring a new standing seam metal roof (2024), a fully replaced HVAC system (2023) including a two-ton mini-split in the upstairs bedroom, and a new dishwasher (2025). Currently an Airbnb Superhost property, it boasts 72 five-star reviews, making it a lucrative rental opportunity.

A rare second lot conveys, offering space for a guest house, pool, or workshop, with low restrictions and STR potential. Located in Apache Shores, residents enjoy exclusive Lake Austin access with a private boat launch, plus a lake park, pool, tennis and basketball courts, an 18-hole disc golf course, volleyball court, soccer field, and a clubhouse. Just minutes from Lake Travis, Lakeway, and the Hill Country Galleria, with downtown Austin only 30 minutes away.

This one-of-a-kind retreat offers modern luxury, architectural brilliance, and a deep connection to nature. Don't miss out—schedule your private showing today.
