A distinctive home in Austin known as the Bouldin Treehouse has been listed for sale at $1.6 million after appearing on HGTV’s “Zillow Gone Wild.” The property, located at 801 Post Oak Street, stands out for its trunk-like design, wood cladding, round floor plans, and a spiral staircase. It offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms across 1,300 square feet. An accessory dwelling unit with one bedroom and one bathroom sits next to a retro Airstream RV.
Christina Campbell has owned the parcel since 2007, with the main house built in 2013. The home has previously been available as a rental since 2017, never listed for less than $3,200 per month according to Zillow.
Katie Jackson of Christie’s International Real Estate @properties Lone Star is handling the listing and promoted it live on HGTV last week. Travis County appraised the property at $1.2 million this year, down from $1.4 million last year. Of that total value, the lot accounts for $625,000 and improvements are valued at $577,000.
While the listing website highlights features such as its unique design and accessory dwelling unit, Jackson is marketing the land’s redevelopment potential: “The listing teases the ‘opportunity to redevelop’ the prime land,” she said. She also noted that “the quarter-acre lot is big enough to accommodate up to three structures under the Austin HOME Initiative.”
Jackson explained that after unsatisfactory offers when initially listed on MLS this spring, producers from HGTV contacted her soon after it was posted on Zillow.
The broader luxury real estate market in Austin is showing signs of weakness as supply remains high and buyers exercise caution—a trend observed nationally. Local agents say sellers retain some leverage in lower-priced suburbs but confirm that luxury properties are currently favoring buyers.
