Roddick and Decker closed the sale of their 15‑acre Hill Country compound in Austin on 23 September 2019, fetching $4.65 million after a protracted price‑cutting dance.
The couple originally paid $3.7 million for the 2003‑built farmhouse in 2013, then invested heavily in a $1 million renovation that added a 6,500‑square‑foot living space, five bedrooms, and a modern kitchen with marble countertops.
Listing the property in June 2018 at $6 million, Jonathan Creath of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty marketed it as a luxury estate with panoramic Hill Country views and an infinity pool. The price fell to $5.5 million in March 2019 and finally to $4.65 million in August, a figure that attracted a buyer before closing.
The $700,000 profit over the original purchase price underscores the resilience of Austin’s high‑end market, even as the city’s median home price has surged by 15% since 2013.
For the former world number one, the sale marks a shift away from a decade of Austin living. He and Decker now focus on a diversified portfolio that includes a New York apartment, a North Carolina estate, and a 1.8‑acre lakefront home.
The transaction closes a chapter for the couple, who have two children that grew up in the estate’s spacious kitchens and outdoor dining areas. Their next move will likely involve reallocating resources toward family priorities and new real‑estate ventures.
