A Home That Lives in Its Own Village: Welcome to 13016 South Madrone Trail

Some homes are just addresses.
Others exist in places that feel truly one of a kind.

13016 South Madrone Trail isn’t just located in Southwest Austin...it sits inside a self-governed village, complete with its own mayor and local leadership. This is a community that operates independently, outside of Austin city codes, offering a rare blend of autonomy, charm, and Hill Country character that you simply don’t find every day.

This neighborhood isn’t part of a sprawling city grid, it’s its own village. With local governance and a strong sense of identity, residents enjoy a quieter lifestyle that feels intentionally designed rather than over-regulated. It’s a place where neighbors know each other, decisions feel closer to home, and community pride runs deep.

That independence is part of what makes this area so special, and so sought after.

Homes here sit on generous acreage lots, yet the neighborhood maintains a cohesive, village-like feel. Many of the properties are set back from the road and naturally screened, so you may not even realize how much land surrounds each home.

The result?
Privacy, space, and peaceful Hill Country surroundings, without feeling cut off from the world.

One of the biggest surprises about this village setting is how connected it still is. Downtown Austin is just about 20 minutes away, making commuting, dining, and entertainment easy and accessible. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is approximately 30 minutes away, ideal for frequent travelers or anyone who values convenience without airport noise.

You truly get the freedom of country-style living with the ability to be in the heart of the city, or on a plane, quickly.

Another major draw to this village is its highly regarded school district, known for strong academics, engaged families, and long-term value. For many buyers, this alone makes the area worth a closer look.

This isn’t just about buying a house on land. It’s about choosing a lifestyle that values space, independence, and community in equal measure. It’s about living somewhere that feels intentional, grounded, and refreshingly different.

13016 South Madrone Trail offers something rare in today’s market: a home with room to breathe, in a village that truly feels like its own...just minutes from the best of Austin.

If you’ve been searching for a property that balances privacy, community, and convenience, this is one you’ll want to experience in person.
