Casa Tortuga — a bold architectural statement in Austin’s coveted 78704 — channels the iconic spirit of Mexico City’s Luis Barragán, with its sculptural form, vibrant interplay of light, and seamless connection to the outdoors. Built entirely of reinforced concrete and later reimagined with warm, earthy textures, this residence is both a sanctuary and a showpiece.

Just minutes from downtown Austin, you’re steps from the pulse of South Congress, Lady Bird Lake, and the city’s best dining, music, and culture — yet your home feels like a private retreat.

Inside, sunlight filters through expansive picture windows, softening the modern lines and framing a lush canopy of mature trees. The open-concept main level — kitchen, dining, and living — is crafted for both effortless daily living and memorable gatherings.

With 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, Casa Tortuga embraces a true lock-and-leave lifestyle ideal for globe-trotters, bachelors, and empty-nesters alike.

The crown jewel: a newly completed third-story rooftop terrace with panoramic downtown views. Here, a private spa awaits under the Texas sky, paired with a covered dining area and generous lounge deck. By day, it’s a sun-soaked oasis; by night, it transforms into an intimate, lantern-lit escape worthy of a rooftop in Mexico City.

Casa Tortuga is more than a home — it’s an experience in design, location, and lifestyle, offering a rare blend of urban proximity and timeless architectural artistry.
