3407 Monte Vista Drive sits high in Balcones Park with direct sightlines to the downtown Austin skyline and Hill Country beyond. Designed by Texas Medal of Arts winner Miro Rivera Architects and built by Joe Pinnelli Company, this three-story residence is one of Austin's most distinctive modern homes.

The architecture is intentional about every material choice. Form board concrete walls, standing seam metal cantilevered rooflines, and floor-to-ceiling commercial-grade German windows create a sequence of outdoor rooms that point southeast toward the views. Oko Skin insulated plank cladding and exposed concrete were selected for durability and zero-maintenance living. A rooftop solar array offsets 65% of the home's energy usage.

Inside, a three-story sculptural staircase in 5/8-inch plate steel anchors the home. White oak millwork and flooring, level 5 drywall, and recessed skirting create clean sightlines on every level. The two-story Zen courtyard with its Oculus roof light filters natural light into the center of the home. Sitio Design handled the surrounding landscape - native plantings that give the property its name-sake sense of peaceful seclusion.

Balcones Park

Austin, TX 78731

Balcones Park sits on the ridgeline above Lake Austin, just west of MoPac. The neighborhood has some of the highest elevations in central Austin - which is exactly why 3407 Monte Vista has unobstructed views of downtown, the Hill Country, and city lights at night.

Mount Bonnell is a half-mile walk. Lake Austin boat ramps are a mile away. You can be downtown in 10 minutes or at the Domain in 12. Despite the proximity, the lots are large and the streets are quiet. Mature oaks and native landscaping give the neighborhood a secluded feel that doesn't match its central location.

Schools are Highland Park Elementary, Lamar Middle School, and McCallum High School. The neighborhood draws families, professionals, and retirees who want views and convenience without a long commute.
