Nestled in Austin’s Bouldin Creek neighborhood, the roots of Green Pastures date back to 1895 when a modest farmhouse was built on a 50-acre estate. The owners christened the farmhouse Green Pastures and opened it to the public as an eatery and gathering place in 1946. Today, the oak-shaded acres are alive with resident peacocks and stunning scenery, and its storied past and tranquil atmosphere are a testament to Austin’s gracious hospitality just blocks from the city’s cultural and shopping districts.
Over the past decade, the Clayton Korte design team has conceived and executed a phased master plan that both preserves the grand heritage oaks and introduces new experiences. Phase I transformed the original farmhouse into Mattie’s, a restaurant and event venue capturing the site’s gracious matriarchal charm. Phase II, the Inn at Green Pastures is a distinguished new hotel designed to mirror Mattie’s matriarchal warmth with a refined, “modern gentleman” character.
