Will You Be Able To Find An Austin Luxury Rental After Tesla Moves Their HQ?

Is it a coincidence that I brought you a post on a gorgeous Austin luxury rental last week, perfect for Elon Musk, and he just made the big announcement? I’ll never tell!

Thursday, Musk announced that Tesla’s headquarters would move to Austin. The mayor and governor welcomed this news with open arms and then I think every Realtor’s head must have begun to spin. 

Will any of the twelve key executives relocate? What about employees who became Teslanaires when Musk offered stock options as part of compensation and benefits packages? I’m betting we’ll see enough relocations to make a sizable dent in the Austin luxury rental market because you know inventory is low, and it’s taking forever to build. So, I’m predicting high-end leases are about to catch fire.

Last week’s property was absolutely perfect for someone that wants to be in the heart of the city, but what if you prefer a gated property with loads of land? No worries! I’ve found the perfect house in West Lake Hills. It’s almost directly across the Colorado River from Laguna Gloria and 3705 Meadowbank Lane, the property the Eklund Gomes team helped to blow off the market when they launched in Austin early this year.

If hiding in plain sight was the lure of last week’s property, this one is perfect for those that simply don’t want to be found. At all. The property is gated and the house is set well back into the parklike grounds with more mature trees than you can count. Privacy is not going to be an issue and no paparazzi long lens is going to breach your serenity.

However, when you’re ready to step out of the sanctuary this home provides, there is easy access to Lake Austin’s marina and the Austin nightlife is only minutes away.

This Austin luxury rental is also the sort of home a large family will appreciate. With 6,191 square feet, five bedrooms, and seven bathrooms, it’s definitely Texas-sized. The house is partially furnished, which is always a bonus, and even better, the resort-style pool and the enormous grounds have a part-time groundskeeper.

Moreland Properties’ Amy Deane has 2956 Westlake Drive available for lease at $28,000 per month. I’d snap it up while you still can!
