Nearly Half an Acre of Native Landscape
3 Bed · 2 Bath · Certified Wildlife Habitat · Oak Hill, Austin 78736
Nearly half an acre of private, oak-shaded land in the heart of Oak Hill — a single-story home with a firepit-ready backyard and the kind of room to grow that almost never comes up this close to town.
Half an acre under the oaks
Some homes sell you on the finishes. This one sells you the second you step into the backyard.
6929 Chinook sits on nearly half an acre — roughly 19,500 square feet of your own private, oak-shaded land in the heart of Oak Hill, where lots like this almost never come up anymore. The owners have invested heavily in the grounds: the front yard is a certified wildlife habitat with established native plantings, and the backyard has been transformed with major landscaping, mature shade trees, and a colorful built-in firepit lounge already waiting for the string lights, the friends, and the long Texas evenings.
Inside, it’s a move-in-ready single-story floor plan — about 1,751 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 updated baths, with a small step up and down inside and stairs out back down to the yard. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. French doors off the dining room swing open to the covered deck, so the yard becomes part of the house the moment the weather’s nice. There’s a separate den for an office or playroom, interior laundry, and a mix of tile and hardwood underfoot.
You could move in and change nothing — it lives comfortably as-is. But there’s real upside for anyone who wants to put their stamp on it: the kitchen is a natural candidate for a refresh, and on nearly half an acre, there’s room to expand, add on, or build the workshop you’ve been sketching in your head. The land and the layout give you options most homes simply don’t.
And the location quietly does a lot of work: mature, tree-lined streets, minutes to the Y at Oak Hill, and quick jumps to US-290, TX-71, and MoPac — a greener, calmer base that still puts central Austin and the Hill Country within easy reach. Half-acre lots this close in don’t last.
There’s also something a little different about these particular grounds — a certified wildlife habitat out front, a mapped collection of Texas native plantings, and even a scattering of special rocks and ammonite fossils across the yard. More on that below.
A living landscape
This isn’t just a yard — it’s been thoughtfully planted, tended, and even certified. From native gardens to fossils in the ground, the grounds have a story most homes simply don’t.
Certified Wildlife Habitat
The front landscape is a certified wildlife habitat — intentionally planted to provide food, water, cover, and space for pollinators, birds, and beneficial local species. It’s low-water, low-maintenance by design, and it means the curb appeal does real ecological work while it looks good doing it.
✓ Certified Wildlife HabitatA Native Plant Collection
The yard is filled with established Texas native plantings chosen to thrive in the Hill Country climate — drought-tolerant, pollinator-friendly, and already grown in. The owners have mapped every native they’ve planted, so the next owner inherits not just the garden, but the knowledge of what’s in it and where.
The full native plant map is available in the property documents below.
Rocks, Fossils & Ammonites
Scattered thoughtfully across the property is a genuine collection of special rocks, minerals, and ammonite fossils — the kind of natural detail that turns a simple walk through the yard into something closer to a treasure hunt. It gives the grounds a one-of-a-kind character you won’t find in a builder-grade backyard.

Why this Oak Hill home stands out
Nearly Half An Acre
At roughly 0.45 acres, the lot is far larger than most homes in this price range and this close to central Southwest Austin — usable, mostly level land with established trees.
Room To Expand
The deep backyard leaves genuine room to add on, build a workshop or studio, garden, or create the outdoor setup you want. Buyer to verify any addition against City of Austin and applicable deed/zoning rules.
Single-Story Layout
All the main living space on one level — a small step transition inside and stairs down to the backyard, but no second floor to contend with. A practical layout that appeals to a wide range of buyers now and at resale.
Mature Oak Canopy
Established live oaks shade the front and back, keeping the home cooler in summer and giving the property a settled, grown-in feel you can’t fake with new construction.
Backyard Firepit Lounge
A distinctive built-in firepit seating area anchors the backyard — a ready-made gathering spot with real character for evenings outdoors.
Oak Hill Location
Minutes to the Y at Oak Hill with quick connections to US-290, TX-71, and MoPac — a greener, quieter base with easy reach to central Austin and the Hill Country.
