Project overview
A new residential development is underway in the Lost Creek area of Westlake Hills, where land within Eanes ISD is increasingly limited. The Overlook at Westlake will bring 48 single family homes to a former portion of the Marshall Ranch property. Homes are planned to range from about 3,300 to 5,000 square feet, with lot sizes between 0.25 and 0.75 acres.
MileStone Community Builders is developing the project and is currently constructing a model home at 1300 Lost Creek Blvd. Sales are being handled from a temporary trailer on site. According to sales executive Lily Otis, homeowners could begin moving in by late 2026. Eight homesites have already been sold.
Pricing and design details
Homes at The Overlook at Westlake will follow an all inclusive pricing model. Prices range from 2.85 million dollars to 5 million dollars. Buyers may choose options such as a swimming pool or enhanced landscaping. Otis described the homes as a high end, luxury product designed for the Westlake market.
The development team has completed road base work and expects neighborhood streets to be paved in January.
Location and infrastructure
The gated community is located within the city of Austin and will use city services. Engineering and design firm Kimley Horn is serving as a subcontractor on the project. Plans include construction of a 3 million dollar water tower on the northeast side of the property to serve the neighborhood.
Because of the area’s terrain, some lots offer flatter building sites, while others provide views toward Omni Barton Creek Resort or downtown Austin.
Schools and historic features
Homes in the development are zoned to Eanes ISD schools, including Forest Trails Elementary, West Ridge Middle School and Westlake High School.
The 37.25 acre property also includes the Eanes family cemetery, the burial site of Robert and Eliza Eanes, who helped establish early schools in the area. The cemetery is a state designated historic site and will be preserved within a stone wall, according to the developer.
The project adds a rare new housing option in one of Central Texas’ most sought after school districts.
