The location of Villa Ascosa (or Hidden Villa) is not exactly a secret – perched on top a hill overlooking Austin Hill Country. Yet this remarkable mansion does offer great privacy, as well as a sense of being in another place, at another time, making it worthy of a closer look.
Sitting in the middle of a 4.5-acre property, it is surrounded by fig, peach, persimmon and lemon trees, offering an enchanting setting just 10 minutes away from downtown Austin.
With all its classic charm, Villa Ascosa does incorporate contemporary technology as well, in its attempt to be as modern and comfortable as possible. The walls, for instance, are built from 12’’ thick aerate concrete blocks, with the very contemporary aim of being as energy efficient as can be. This stunning 9,700-square-foot mansion also offers generous living spaces, boasting 5 bedrooms, 6 full and 5 partial bathrooms, all of them spacious and lavishly decorated.
Villa Ascosa, a beautiful piece of classic Italy just a short drive from Austin, Texas, is currently on the market for $6,200,000.
