Austin Politicos Sell Westlake Estate After Asking $7M

Austin’s latest luxury sale might well have taken place in a smoke-filled room.

Compass agent Ellen Troxclair, who also serves as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, represented politicos David and Elizabeth White in the sale of their home at 600 Logans Lane in Austin.

David White, a registered lobbyist, and Elizabeth White co-founded the Austin-based government relations firm Public Blueprint, according to its website. They sold the home to the Piccolo Bambino Trust on May 29, public records show. The property deed discloses neither the price nor the individual organizer of the trust.

The 8,370-square-foot home was last listed for $6.5 million dollars, or about $776 per square foot. Built in 2002, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home occupies a 2.1-acre lot in Westlake, an affluent neighborhood west of Lake Austin. Features of the property include a pool, an outdoor kitchen and six covered terraces.

Troxclair is the founder of the Troxclair Residential Group, a team affiliated with Compass. She represents a portion of the Hill Country in the Texas House, including a western slice of Travis County, but her district’s boundary line stops short of 600 Logans Lane, according to state maps.

Based on asking price alone, it’s one of Austin’s priciest sales to date this year, according to a TRD Data analysis of publicly recorded sales. Excluding this home, the top ten sales transacted on the multiple listing service so far in 2026 range from a home at 400 Inwood Road that traded in March after asking $6 million and a home at 203 Buckeye Trail that traded in April after asking $9.5 million.

The home went under contract without a price cut in just 33 days, showing rare speed in what used to be one of the country’s slowest-moving luxury markets.

The typical Austin luxury home went under contract in 104 days last fall, ranking fourth in the country and first in Texas for the highest median days on market, according to Redfin. The city rebounded this spring; during the three months ending April 30, Austin luxury homes sold in a median of 57 days, a 16-day drop year-over-year in days on market and the second-biggest decrease in the country, Redfin found.
