About this property

Quiet Luxury on Lake Travis - Waterfront + Outdoor Living

Escape to a private waterfront sanctuary on 2.57 acres in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Spicewood. With 130 feet of gently sloping beach on Lake Travis and unobstructed views of the 1145-acre protected Turkey Bend Recreation Area, this peaceful retreat offers privacy, beauty, and quiet luxury surrounded by nature. Lake Travis is currently 100% full and guests can enjoy swimming, fishing and easy access for boating, with a community ramp just yards away. All just a short drive from wineries, dining, golf, games, and outdoor activities.

Designed for guests who value serenity over crowds and noise, the property is ideal for relaxing getaways, couples' weekends, family gatherings, and restorative time at the lake.

The home features:
• 3 bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath
• A private ground-floor casita with a luxurious stone bathroom
• Expansive outdoor living spaces with nearly 1,000 square feet of decking
• A high-end outdoor kitchen and fireplace
• A wall of windows framing lake views and spectacular sunsets
• A large screened porch that becomes the heart of the home in every season.

Outside, the experience is equally special. Wander the stone walking labyrinth beneath majestic oaks trees, relax in the cowboy pool, or enjoy butterfly gardens and exceptional birdwatching. In the evening, stretch out and gaze at the stars. When the lake is full, turn on the cascading waterfalls that flow down the hillside toward the lake.

Guests love morning coffee on the screened porch while deer and birds move through the trees. At sunset, the lake and preserve glow gold from nearly every outdoor space. If you’re searching for a peaceful waterfront experience immersed in nature, this Lake Travis retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, comfort and timeless Hill County beauty.

Despite its peaceful setting, the home is conveniently located near:
• Krause Springs
• Local wineries and distilleries
• Fine and casual dining
• Marble Falls

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property in 2005 as a family retreat. After hectic work weeks in our cities - Austin, Houston and Shreveport - we spent family time on the water - swimming, boating, skiing and fishing -, cooking, and staying up until the wee hours playing dominoes, cards and board games. Always with the family dogs - mostly labs and shih tzus, but a few dearly loved mutts. During the meteor showers in August, we spread blankets, turned out the lights, and counted shooting stars. When the weather turned cold, we made a big fire to burn a year's accumulation of brush and roast a mountain of marshmallows.

I'm grateful that we were able to make such special memories. Now I want to share this place so others can make their own memories.
