Emma Stone Seeks $26.5 Million for Her Unfinished Austin Estate
- Emma Stone and her husband have listed their unfinished dream home in Austin's Tarrytown neighborhood for $26.5 million.
Emma Stone's Texas-sized dream home has hit the market before she's even had a chance to move in. The Oscar-winning actress and her producer-director husband Dave McCary have just put their sprawling, not-quite-finished estate in Austin's tony Tarrytown neighborhood, one of the city's most exclusive enclaves, up for grabs at a cool $26.5 million.
Purchased back in 2021, the couple had big plans for the 1.25-acre spread, bringing in the award-winning firm Cuppett Kilpatrick to reimagine the historic estate. Fast-forward to today, and the couple's plans have changed. While finishing touches are still in progress (it's scheduled for completion this summer), the installed updates already make it one of the most compelling homes on the Austin market.

Tucked into a leafy, oak-shaded street just a half mile from Lady Bird Lake's Walsh Boat Landing, the compound comprises a stately four-bedroom main residence built of Georgian-style masonry, a garage topped by a screening room and entertaining space, and a fully appointed two-bedroom guesthouse—because in Texas, bigger really is better.

The kitchen has unvarnished oak floors and glossy tile backsplashes embellished with a floral design.
Inside, it's all about timeless elegance. Think herringbone oak and brick floors, creamy marble fireplace surrounds, arched doorways, and custom millwork so intricate it took a year to install in the screening room alone. The interiors offer both grand and gracious spaces for large-scale entertaining and cozy corners for quiet evenings in. A paneled library, sun-filled solarium, and playroom add charm and versatility, while a screened breezeway spills out to the pool.
The landscape is equally lush, with everything from fairy and cutting gardens to wide swaths of lawn and water features that lend to the feeling of being ensconced in a bucolic country retreat but in the heart of ATX.

Why sell now, before they've even had a chance to put their shoes in the closet? According to Eric Moreland of Moreland Properties/Forbes Global Properties, who holds the listing together with colleague Diane Humphreys, the couple's East Coast business ventures have grown since they began the renovation, making a permanent move to Texas less practical, he explained to the Wall Street Journal . That said, their design choices here reflect an eye for legacy. "This is a home that will stand the test of time," Moreland added.
Stone certainly has a sharp eye for real estate. Last year she sold her L.A. home for $4.3 million , $2 million more than she paid five years earlier, and in 2022 she took in a million-dollar profit on the sale of a Malibu residence that went for just over $4.4 million. While Stone and McCary may be heading back to New York, where she still owns a $3.6 million apartment she picked up back in 2018, they've left behind a Texas treasure for the right buyer willing to pick up where they left off in Austin.
