Villa Del Lago is an extraordinary private waterfront estate, poised on approximately 20 hillside acres along the coveted south shore of Lake Travis. Offering commanding panoramic views and unrivaled privacy, this is one of Austin’s most distinguished luxury residences- ideally located with close proximity to downtown, fine dining, and premier shopping. Architectural Grandeur & Entertaining Venues- The estate’s design celebrates both scale and intimacy. Steps from the main residence, a dramatic open-air pavilion with soaring 20-foot ceilings, a massive stone fireplace, dual bars, and three baths creates a spectacular setting for gatherings of any size. Perched high on the hillside, the pavilion overlooks captivating waterfalls, verdant gardens, and sweeping sunsets across Lake Travis- an unparalleled venue for both private retreats and memorable events. The meticulously curated grounds blend Texas Hill Country authenticity with resort-level sophistication. Native landscapes, fed by a private pond drawing from the lake, weave through hand-carved stone staircases, terraced gardens, and serene grottos with cascading waterfalls. This park-like sanctuary is alive with songbirds and wildlife, offering an atmosphere of tranquility rarely found in a residence of this magnitude. Encompassing nearly 15,400 square feet, the residence is a showcase of craftsmanship and design. 6 bedrooms, 13 baths, 5 fireplaces. Living Spaces: formal living and dining, library, media and theater rooms, game room with full bar Chef’s kitchen with Viking appliances. Owner’s Suite: private sanctuary w/ tub for two, steam shower, and a private balcony with uninterrupted lake vistas. Outdoors, a negative-edge pool blends seamlessly into the lake views, spa, fire pit, outdoor kitchen plus poolside bar amenities. Villa Del Lago stands among the finest estates ever offered in Austin. It is a legacy property, a private sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to own one of the crown jewels of Lake Travis.
