Description
Beloved UT biology professor Dr. Robert Barth passed away in September, 2022 at the age of 88. His gorgeous property in West Lake Hills, which he purchased in the late 1960s, showcases 3.78 acres of rustic land with a drop-dead view of downtown Austin (which, 50 years ago, was nothing like the glistening cityscape of today!). Hill Country to the max, the acreage features many stately oaks and junipers on a variety of terrains, including limestone cliffs above Oracle Gorge and Bee Creek with a ridgeline trail running between them the length of the property. Approximately 300 feet of frontage on Terrace Mountain Drive. The Leon Chandler-designed house, vintage 1970, and above-ground swimming pool, are not valued for improvements. (Those improvements, however, include a huge, fully functional greenhouse that recently housed Dr. Barth's Oracle Gorge Nursery world-class collection of cacti and succulents, which will soon be on permanent display at Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin). Not only does the property afford ample space for a multi-storied home on the higher, western portion, but also a smaller dwelling, such as a grandparents' home. To fully appreciate this once-in-a-lifetime building opportunity, please watch the video at www.602Video.com, then come out to see--and walk--this lovely property. There is nothing on the market that compares to 602! Tree and topo survey available. Video by Bret Whitney.
