Here’s a super interesting project designed in the late 90’s by Houston based architect Burdette Keeland (and completed two years before his death). Dubbed the “train wreck” house as it resembles three separate train cars haphazardly connected it’s essentially two separate homes connected by a shared public space. While it’s a tad bit “contemporary” for my taste, it’s still a really solid project considering it’s over 20 year old. The indoor outdoor connection and siting along the Blanco River is particularly on point. This one would be great for a multi-generational family situation.

Read MoreI get it, you love my newest Nick Deaver listing on 5 acres in Wimberly, but it’s a bit out of your budget. Consider this then as the perfect low cost alternative. The architecture isn’t quite as moving, but the views are just as great.

Read MoreOk, a bit of a wild card here. Having absolutely zero knowledge of viniculture I’m going to go ahead and say this is the perfect place to start a vineyard. Those rocky dry hills have got to be great a torturing grape vines, and those views aren’t too shabby either. PS after you buy it please hire me and I swear I’ll learn something about viniculture.

Read MoreI'm going to finish out this week with two houses that are a bit different. I like to call them hill country modern, and while they aren't exactly my favorite style, I do love how uniquely Texas they are. Hill country modern homes are typically big. Because Texas. Architecturally they are modern/contemporary in design, and utilize a lot of limestone in the structure and interior. The interiors, while modern, tend to be pushed towards the traditional side especially kitchens and bathrooms. Most of them come with a pool too, and hopefully a view as good as this one.

Read MoreIt's a great week for luxury properties in Austin. This beauty was designed by local architect Neel Morton and boasts over 6,000 sq/ft, 270 degree views, and a jaw dropping 12+ acres of hill country land. Honestly, I don't think you could ask for much more.
