Private Equestrian Estate with Lake Travis Views

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Perched on a private, gated 10± acre estate at the end of the road and backing to the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, this remarkable property captures sweeping views of Lake Travis and the surrounding Hill Country, offering a blend of seclusion, thoughtful design, and resort-style living just minutes from lake access. The thoughtfully planned compound includes a custom main residence, guest accommodations, expansive outdoor living, and premier equestrian facilities, all oriented to take full advantage of the protected natural backdrop that will remain forever wild. Conceived and built with every detail in mind, the estate seamlessly blends architecture, landscape, and lifestyle into an exceptional Hill Country retreat. The 4,744 sq ft custom main residence is oriented to maximize panoramic vistas, with dramatic two-story windows, multiple indoor and outdoor living areas, a two-sided stone fireplace, and expansive covered and uncovered patios complete with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace—perfect for entertaining and taking in unforgettable sunsets. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spa-like bath with copper sinks, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a generous custom closet. A chef’s kitchen with a Bertazzoni range, custom cabinetry, designer finishes, butler’s pantry, office, media room, dedicated pet wash station, and additional living spaces complete the home, where every detail has been carefully curated to reflect quality, comfort, and timeless style. Complementing the main residence is a beautifully finished 2,600 sq ft guest house with a private courtyard and cooking center, porcelain tile floors, flexible bedroom and office spaces, an upstairs apartment with private entrance, designated parking as well as a garage, and stunning preserve views. Equestrian amenities include a well-appointed ~2,000+ sq ft six-stall barn, oriented for constant airflow, smart-controlled water systems, indoor and outdoor wash racks, a tack room with a bathroom, and a second-floor 768 sq ft one-bedroom apartment with balcony. A riding arena and two vinyl and hot-wire fenced pastures, also served by smart-controlled water systems, complete the equestrian setup. Beyond its equestrian use, the barn also offers excellent versatility and could easily be reimagined to support a variety of hobbies and lifestyle pursuits — from a lively party barn for entertaining, to a toy barn for ATVs, boats, or collector cars, or even a private workshop, gym, or creative studio. Located just 20 minutes from the iconic 360/Pennybacker Bridge, this is one of the most distinctive and beautiful horse properties in the area, offering close proximity to Lake Travis, sweeping Hill Country views, multiple dwellings, gated and fully fenced privacy, preserve frontage, access to approximately one mile of trails, and turnkey equestrian facilities—an extraordinary opportunity for a private estate, equestrian operation, family compound, or luxury retreat. The property feels exceptionally private while remaining highly convenient, just 10 minutes to Four Points (620 & 2222) for shopping, dining, and entertainment and approximately 30 minutes to downtown Austin, and zoned to highly regarded schools including Grandview Hills, Four Points Middle, and Vandegrift High School, with nearby amenities such as Volente Beach Club, Beachside Billy’s, Shack 512, Stiechen Park, and a nearby fire station.
