8 Austin Celebrity Houses That Are Basically Castles
Celebrities are lucky enough to live practically wherever they want. To no one's surprise, the great city of Austin, Texas is home to many, including some celebs who were born in the Lone Star State. We've comprised a list of Austin celebrities who still live here, and you won't believe the size of some of these places.
Matthew McConaughey
Area: West Austin
Description: This Victorian home is beautiful and near many Austin tourist spots, such as the Loop 360 Bridge. McConaughey attended the University of Texas at Austin back in the day and currently teaches there as a professor, so it makes sense that he'd want to be close to one of his many jobs.
Bobby Epstein
Area: East Austin
Description: This massive home overlooks the Colorado River, just like McConaughey's! The popular Austin locals and CEO of Circuit of the Americas needs to be nearby his incredible property while also being comfortable.
Elijah Wood
Area: Central Austin
Description: Just because you're an actor doesn't mean your ideal living situation is in Los Angeles. This classic Victorian home is the perfect escape from busy city life for Wood.
Jensen Ackles
Area: Central Austin
Description: Ackles was born in Dallas, Texas and a part of him always remained in the Lone Star State! When he and his wife saw this gorgeous home, they knew they had to have it. And living in the same city as co-star and bestie Jared Padalecki is a big perk.
Jared Padalecki
Area: Central Austin
Description: Padalecki is known to frequent Austin, so it makes sense that he's got a home here. With a massive tennis court in the backyard, we're sure he invites his buddy Ackles over all the time.
Robert Rodriguez
Area: Central Austin
Description: This home is about as close to an actual castle as you can get in Texas. It's been used in a Disney movie so it's no wonder it came upon the director's radar.
Willie Nelson
Area: Luck Ranch, 30 miles outside of Austin
Description: Nelson is the epitome of Texan. And of course, rather than own a house in the state, he owns an entire ranch which is home to about 70 horses! All of which have been rescued. Now that sounds like a Disney castle.
Alex Jones
Area: East Austin
Description: This less-than-liked by the public conspiracy theorist does indeed have a home in Austin. Jones has McConaughey and Epstein as neighbors, we wonder if they get together for dinner sometimes?
