Ryan Rodenbeck (Spyglass Realty)

Located in one of Westlake’s most desirable settings, this refined modern residence offers privacy, thoughtful design, and elevated Hill Country living on a large, secluded lot. Built in 2017, the home blends clean architectural lines with warm finishes and exceptional indoor–outdoor flow. The main living spaces are light-filled and open, anchored by a designer kitchen featuring marble countertops, a spacious island, Wolf six-burner range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, ice maker, built-in Miele espresso maker, and a butler’s pantry. Expansive sliding doors connect the living area to a screened-in porch with a fireplace and scenic views beyond. The flexible floor plan includes a main-level guest bedroom with full bath, a large laundry room, and multiple living spaces for everyday comfort or entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite offers serene views and a spa-inspired bathroom with soaking tub, oversized steam shower, and generous storage in the two primary closets (one even has a stackable washer/dryer). Additional bedrooms, a media room (currently used as a fifth bedroom), and a second living area with built-in bookcases provide exceptional versatility. Outdoor living is a standout with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, pool shed, and two level grassy lawn sections with ample room for activities or future improvements. A detached heated and cooled flex space—originally designed as a third-car garage—adds flexibility for a gym, office, podcast space or studio, or the option to convert back to garage use. Ideally located near downtown Austin while maintaining the privacy and prestige of Westlake, the property is also zoned to Eanes ISD, offering access to one of the area’s most highly regarded public school districts.

How this is scored

Higher is better. 100 = fully aligned with traditional Vastu principles; 0 = inauspicious on every axis. Three geometric signals combine into the total:

Facing direction  — 40 points

Bearing from the home toward the nearest road (the direction your front entrance faces). Vastu favors entrances that catch morning light and the "Ishanya" (NE) energy corner.

DirectionPointsInterpretation
N / E / NE40Most auspicious — morning sun, NE is the divine corner
NW30Acceptable — air element
W22Tolerable
SE20Mixed — "fire" corner; okay for kitchens, not entrances
S12Poor — harsh afternoon sun, Yama (death) direction
SW0Worst — "Nairutya," associated with negative energy

Site slope  — 30 points

Elevation sampled at four corners of a 60m box around the property. Vastu prefers land that rises toward the SW (so the NE corner is lower) — symbolically draining negative energy away from the auspicious NE.

SW − NE (m)PointsInterpretation
≥ +0.530Ideal — SW noticeably higher than NE
−0.5 to +0.518Effectively flat — acceptable
−2.0 to −0.58NE slightly higher — mild concern
< −2.00Inauspicious — NE much higher than SW

Plot shape  — 30 points

Derived from the TCAD parcel polygon. Three sub-signals, summed:

  • Aspect ratio (0–12 pts) — width / height of the north-aligned bounding box. Square-ish (1.0–1.5) is best; slivers (>3.0) score 0.
  • Convexity (0–10 pts) — polygon area ÷ convex-hull area. 1.0 = convex (ideal); L-shaped or pinched lots score lower. Vastu strongly prefers regular shapes.
  • Cardinal alignment (0–8 pts) — how far (degrees) the longest edge is from N/S/E/W. Lots aligned with compass directions score higher.

What's missing: kitchen position, master bedroom, prayer/pooja room, exact door placement, interior colors, water features — all require a floorplan or site visit. A strict Vastu reading would include these; this score is directional only.
