Perched on a hilltop overlooking Circuit of the Americas (COTA), Windy Ridge is a rare 20-acre modern gentleman’s ranch offering panoramic views of the racetrack and the downtown Austin skyline. This unique property blends immediate income potential with exceptional long-term development opportunity in one of Austin’s fastest-growing corridors. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental and private event destination, the property generates approximately $160,000 in annual revenue. Five modern cabins accommodate up to 18 guests and provide a turnkey hospitality experience that attracts visitors for weddings, retreats, and major COTA events including Formula 1, MotoGP, and concerts. Windy Ridge offers a resort-style atmosphere with multiple gathering spaces and amenities. Guests enjoy a Western-style saloon, open pavilion with dance floor, swimming pool, and an elevated observation deck with sweeping skyline views. The property also features the iconic Whiskey Barn, a dedicated wedding ceremony area, Zen garden, fishing pond, and a 7-hole disc golf course winding through the scenic landscape. Beyond its current hospitality use, the property offers strong future development potential. A 16-inch City of Austin waterline at the street provides valuable infrastructure rarely found on acreage of this size. Potential concepts include high-end car condominiums for motorsport enthusiasts, a luxury RV resort serving Austin’s tourism market, or a buy-and-hold land bank strategy while continuing to generate income. Located minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, downtown Austin, and directly above COTA, Windy Ridge sits squarely in the path of growth while offering unmatched views, amenities, and income potential. The property is also located within a Qualified Opportunity Zone.
