What Does the Neighborhood Look Like?
Cherry Mountain is a residential pocket in the Hill Country west of downtown Austin, about 3.4 miles from the Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave and 1.3 miles from Lake Travis High School by road. Homes here are set on acreage rather than the small lots found in newer master-planned communities.
The one active listing at the time of writing was built in 2013 and offers about 4,500 square feet, five bedrooms, five baths and a private pool on a one-acre lot. We have not confirmed a total lot count for the subdivision, so we do not state one here.
Walking or driving the streets, you will see homes set well back from the pavement on open lots with mature live oaks and cedar, and streets without curbs or sidewalks. The architecture varies from white contemporary homes with flat rooflines to Hill Country stone and stucco ranches, two-story homes with dark roofs and a few farmhouse-style homes with metal roofs. Several driveways open through stone entry columns or gates, and the landscaping leans toward native plants and gravel beds rather than manicured turf.
