Behind the gates of Bella Montagna, a landmark Austin community known for its estate-sized lots and elegant homes with manicured lawns, a palatial new build is up for grabs — and it’s far from your ordinary mansion.
The majestic 6-bedroom home was newly completed in 2024, but its chateau-style design harks back to stately European castles.
Don’t go thinking dusty old stone castle, though; the Austin mansion has a unique architecture that adds a modern twist to its palatial exteriors, with curved lines and stark black-and-white contrasts giving it a unique, inviting look without taking away from its grandeur.
The property, listed with Erica Burns of Coldwell Banker Realty for $4 million, is looking for a new owner to take it off the market.

A $4M modern castle in Austin
The property spans a little over an acre in the hill country, outside of the city, offering ample space and serene views of the surrounding terrain.
The majestic home has 6,098 square feet of living space, 6 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 1 half bath, and quite a few amenities (home gym, bar, media room, pool, and a pool casita).
Equally palatial interiors
The luxurious palatial design continues inside, where features like vaulted ceilings, imported Italian marble, and custom chandeliers have been carefully picked to achieve that “modern castle” look the house is aiming for.
Welcoming visitors with a dramatic double staircase
Setting the stage for the luxury inside is a dramatic double staircase flanking the entrance, leading guests and residents upstairs.
Fitting for a home that adds a modern spin to palatial elegance, the dual staircase features sleek glass railings, with floating treads made out of warm wood contrasting against the black steel base.
A contemporary spin on opulence
Polished flooring, intricate modern chandeliers, vaulted ceilings with black accents, and stark black furnishings create a luxurious yet distinctly contemporary look, one that’s seen throughout the 6,098-square-foot home.
The chef’s kitchen has the finest finishes
A standout space is the luxe chef’s kitchen, which has been fitted with high-end Miele appliances, and black and white marble countertops that match the eye-catching backsplash, with wood accents adding warmth to the design.
Sleek black bathrooms add to the dramatic effect
Much like the rest of the home, the luxurious bathrooms bring in the drama with their stark black design, this one in particular boasting streaks of gold embedded in the bathroom tiles for added effect.
The home has quite a few upscale amenities
This home is ideal for entertaining, featuring a home gym, bar, media room, built-in custom closets in every bedroom, a steam shower, vessel sinks, and heated-seat commodes with touchscreen displays.

With an inviting outdoor area
Outside, a pool and spa provide a great place to relax and take in the surrounding views. Other outdoor perks include a 3-car garage with epoxy floors and a turf backyard ideal for putting green.
Leading to a private pool casita
For overnight guests, there’s a pool casita (with a separate entrance) that offers a full bathroom, a kitchen, and a separate bedroom with a private balcony with a view.
On the market for $4 million
The unique Austin-area property has recently been listed for $4,000,000, with Coldwell Banker Realty’s Erica Burns in charge of finding a buyer.
