About This Home

Beyond a long private driveway, this extraordinary 8.78-acre estate unfolds along Bee Creek with a dramatic bluff creating an unforgettable Texas Hill Country backdrop. A circular driveway welcomes you to a timeless estate surrounded by mature oak trees, beautifully landscaped gardens, and expansive grounds offering exceptional privacy within the acclaimed Lake Travis ISD. Originally built in 2001 and thoughtfully refreshed in 2026 with fresh interior paint, white oak flooring, and enhancements to the outdoor living spaces, the 4,216-square-foot home offers five bedrooms and four full bathrooms designed for refined everyday living and entertaining. A grand entry with soaring cathedral ceilings introduces light-filled interiors featuring elegant arches, formal living and dining rooms, and an expansive great room with exposed beam ceilings, custom built-ins, a gas fireplace, and French doors opening to the covered patio. The open eat-in kitchen is centered around an oversized island with abundant cabinetry, generous workspace, and a second gas fireplace. The spacious primary suite overlooks the surrounding grounds and features a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, and an expansive walk-in closet with extensive built-ins. A first-floor secondary bedroom with patio access offers flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a covered patio featuring a built-in wet bar overlooking the pool, fire pit, landscaped gardens, mature oak trees, and stone walkways extending toward Bee Creek and the dramatic bluff beyond. Horses are allowed, offering added flexibility for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle. A spacious laundry room and three-car attached garage complete this exceptional Hill Country estate, where timeless architecture, remarkable privacy, an irreplaceable natural setting, and a private well come together in one extraordinary offering.
