A True ‘Texafornia’ Masterpiece: Striking Malibu-Inspired Estate Hits the Market in Austin for $6 Million

A resort-caliber estate that boasts all the elegance of a Malibu mansion has hit the market in Austin—bringing to life the essence of the so-called Texafornia trend.

The sprawling abode, which spans close to 9,000 square feet, is nestled within a tony neighborhood called The Estates of Barton Creek, just a few miles east of Austin's bustling city center.

Located at 3304 Barton Creek Blvd., the six-bedroom property emulates tropical design influences with dramatic interiors and lush gardens—an uncommon combination in Texas.

From the moment you arrive, the estate, which sits on more than 1.4 acres of land, makes an impression, with a gated entry and mature oaks framing the home’s clean architectural lines.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the main living areas with light and open onto layered terraces, curated landscaping, and a pool-scape designed to feel more like a private retreat than a simple backyard.

According to listing agent Leslie Gossett of Kuper Sotheby's International Realty, that atmosphere was intentional from the start—rooted in a desire to create a taste of Malibu living in the heart of Texas.

“The original builders moved here from Malibu and set out to recreate that same coastal, resort-level sensibility in Texas,” says Gossett.

“The current owners told me that when they first walked in, it reminded them of the $20 million estates you see along the Malibu coastline. This was always meant to feel like a destination, not just a house.”

Inside, an open floor plan allows light, views, and natural materials to become part of the design itself. The home includes six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two half baths, balancing generous entertaining spaces with private ones.

“There’s a serene, almost Balinese sensibility to the design,” Gossett adds. “It’s clean and timeless, with thoughtful integration between indoor and outdoor spaces that feels almost sculptural.”

Outdoors, covered living and dining areas flow to the pool and a landscaped pond with a waterfall. A newly built private pickleball court, along with an outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in grill, adds further appeal.

“Buyers at this level want spaces that feel effortless but memorable,” Gossett says. “Here, every principal room opens to the outdoors, and the amenities are truly resort-driven. It’s luxurious, but also incredibly livable.”

One of the most distinctive recent additions is a dedicated wellness deck featuring a fully equipped gym, cold plunge, sauna, and red light therapy tower, reflecting the growing emphasis on health-focused luxury.

The primary suite has also been updated with a spa-inspired bath, soaking tub, steam shower, and oversized custom closet.

“These upgrades bring a modern sensibility to the home without disrupting its original vision,” Gossett notes. “Everything feels intentional.”

Framed by palm trees and overlooking beautifully manicured grounds, complete with a beautiful blue pool, the home would also not be out of place in Palm Springs, where its clean lines and elegant resort-style design would fit in perfectly.

Yet its location in Austin is actually one of the many elements of the property that make it so alluring.

Given its exclusive location, the property offers privacy while remaining close to golf, hiking and biking trails, Lake Austin, and the shopping and dining districts of southwest Austin.

“This isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle property,” says Gossett. “You’re surrounded by nature, but still close to everything that defines Austin living.”
