Cliff House on Lake Travis
One-of-a-kind, private retreat
This spectacular 70-acre property overlooking Lake Travis, creates an extraordinary, private retreat with a rare 600 feet of waterfrontage. The site of the home takes advantage of the lake views while incorporating a variety of outdoor living spaces. Enjoy convenient access to the deep-water lake via the private boat dock or sit back and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic lake and Hill Country views from the shaded porch.
First time ever on the market, this one-story estate was designed by renowned Sinclair Black of Black + Vernooy with the use of timeless, indigenous materials. The exterior is a variety of large cut stone native to the Hill Country. These stones have been mixed with standing seam metal on the roof, awnings, and garage, complimented by large exterior lentils custom-crafted from native cedar. A continuous metal trellis and walkway connects the primary home with two separate casitas and a second living or game room complete with a dedicated kitchenette and full bathroom. The casitas each have ensuite bathrooms perfect for family or guests.
The expansive primary residence features a main living area, dining, kitchen, and two master suites with windows to capture the lake views throughout. The elements of aromatic cedar beams and the custom mesquite front door, flooring and cabinetry bring a wonderful sense of the Texas Hill Country to the southwest-facing property. The indoor-outdoor flow of the approximately 4,000 square-foot home (sqft source - owner) surrounds a large courtyard, containing majestic live oaks, native plantings, and a fire pit for outdoor gatherings.
The acreage is characterized by diverse topography, a great combination of cedar and live oak trees, rolling hills, and wildflowers, making it perfect for hiking, exploring or wildlife observation. The property is also an investment opportunity with possibilities for development of additional cabins, residences, or subdivision of the 70 acres (currently in two parcels of 58 acres and 12 acres). Additionally, the property offers tax benefits due to its wildlife exemption status.
4900 Travis Peak is located about 13 miles from Lago Vista, and 25 miles from Cedar Park and major highways, making it an ideal combination of a serene, private retreat with city convenience. Seize the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind, private retreat.
