$3,500,000 - 10601 Hill Drive, Leander

Rising from the shoreline of Lake Travis to a private hillside perch beside ~140 acres of protected preserve, this 4.4-acre waterfront estate offers a rare combination of sweeping views and direct lake access. Mornings begin with still water and wide-open vistas, while evenings unfold under expansive Hill Country skies—an experience that feels worlds away, yet remains within easy reach of Austin. Behind dual gated entrances, the 6,644 sf Mediterranean-inspired residence is positioned to capture panoramic Lake Travis views from nearly every room. Inside, exceptional craftsmanship is on display—from gothic-style arches to a grand staircase crowned with a hand-painted night-sky ceiling. Outdoor living is equally compelling. An expansive terrace with 180-degree lake views, custom spa and fountain finished with Turkish petrified coral, and inviting gathering areas set the stage for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. A private tram leads to your boat slip below, making it effortless to spend a day on the water—boating, swimming, or simply enjoying the lake. The kitchen features Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances, with a butler’s pantry and theater room inspired by LA’s historic Egyptian Theatre. The primary suite is a light-filled retreat with patio access, a spa-like bath, Phylrich fixtures, and a custom closet with shoe carousel. Resort-style amenities include a heated indoor pool, sauna, gym, and elevator with step-free main-level living. Built with enduring quality—mahogany floors, fossilized stone granite, Andersen windows, and a Ludowici tile roof. A detached 1,760 sf carriage house, climate-controlled RV garage, solar array, 3-car garage with Tesla charging, and indoor/outdoor dog kennel further enhance the property. Located ~7 miles to shops and restaurants along Whitestone Blvd, this is a rare opportunity to experience Lake Travis living with both breathtaking views and true waterfront access—an offering few properties can match.
