Windsong Trail | The Compound

A rare West Lake Hills architectural compound, Windsong Trail is an original David Dalgleish and Robert Sternbaum design, privately set on just over two acres with sweeping Hill Country views and a garden inspired by the timeless landscapes of Provence. Tucked behind limestone, native stone, and mature plantings, the property unfolds as a secluded retreat—part residence, part creative sanctuary, part garden estate.

The compound is composed of three distinct structures, each offering its own purpose and possibility. The main residence is an artful two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home with an additional office that could serve as a third bedroom. Architectural lines, natural materials, and expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape, while a view deck extends the living space into the treetops, capturing the quiet drama of the hills beyond.

The landscape is a defining element of the property. Inspired by La Louve in Provence, the garden blends sculptural form, restraint, texture, and movement—an intentional composition of stone, shade, structure, and native beauty. Winding paths, layered plantings, limestone moments, and intimate outdoor rooms create a sense of discovery throughout the grounds, offering a garden experience that feels both cultivated and deeply connected to the land.

A separate approximately 1,000-square-foot office/studio with a second-story loft provides an exceptional setting for work, art, design, writing, or private client meetings. Removed from the main house yet fully integrated into the compound, it allows for a true live/work lifestyle without compromise.

The third structure includes a garage with workspace and unfinished lower-level space, presenting future potential for a wellness studio, wine cellar, additional creative studios, fitness space, or expanded storage. Together, the three buildings create a flexible and highly private estate designed for living, working, creating, and retreating.

Quietly sophisticated and exceptionally private, Windsong Trail is not a conventional West Lake property. It is an architectural compound, a Provence-inspired garden sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own a secluded hillside retreat in one of Austin’s most coveted settings.
