10601 Hill Dr., Leander, TX 78641

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Rising from the waterfront to a hillside perch and adjacent to approximately 140 acres of protected nature preserve, this remarkable 4.4-acre Lake Travis estate offers sweeping Hill Country and lake views with a level of privacy that is increasingly hard to find. The setting feels worlds away—quiet, secure, and truly secluded—yet still within easy reach of Austin.

Behind dual gated entrances, the 6,644-square-foot Mediterranean-style residence is thoughtfully positioned to capture panoramic Lake Travis views from nearly every room. Inside, dramatic architectural elements create a sense of arrival while maintaining warmth and livability. Gothic-style arches, Turkish petrified coral tile, and a grand staircase crowned with a hand-painted night-sky ceiling set a tone that is both refined and inviting.

Designed for entertaining on any scale, the expansive rear terrace provides an exceptional backdrop for gatherings, whether hosting a lively, formal gala or enjoying a quiet night under the stars with friends. The outdoor living area is centered around a custom 12-person spa and fountain, with wide 180-degree views providing a beautiful and ever-changing backdrop.

The chef’s kitchen blends performance and elegance with top-tier Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances. A butler’s pantry with a convenient servery window connects seamlessly to the theater room—an immersive space inspired by Los Angeles’ historic Egyptian Theatre—making entertaining effortless.

The primary suite is its own private escape, featuring a spa-inspired bath with a large roll-in shower, jacuzzi tub, Phylrich faucets and fixtures, and a two-level custom closet complete with a shoe carousel. Additional amenities elevate the home to resort-level living, including a heated indoor pool, sauna, home gym, and a private tram providing direct access to a boat slip on Lake Travis.

The residence is ADA-friendly, offering an elevator and step-free access throughout the first floor, ideal for multigenerational living or long-term comfort. Built in 2012 using exceptional materials, the home features mahogany wood floors, fossilized stone granite countertops, Andersen windows, and a Ludowici tile roof designed for a 75-year lifespan.

Additional highlights include a koi pond, solar panels for extremely low electric bills, a 3-car garage with two Tesla charging stations, an indoor/outdoor dog kennel, and even space suitable for a small helicopter landing.

Completing the estate is a 1,760-square-foot detached carriage house offering unfinished living quarters (1 bed, 1 bath), a first floor workshop with half bath, and a climate-controlled RV garage—perfect for extended guests, hobbies, or future customization. 

Located just 7 miles to HEB, 8 miles to Whole Foods, 9 miles to Cedar Park High School and Twin Creeks Country Club, and 40 minutes to downtown Austin. This is more than a lake house—it’s a rare Lake Travis compound offering privacy, views, and upscale yet comfortable amenities.
