Exploring the most exceptional properties in premier destinations across the globe.
Many homes located along Lake Austin boast views of the slender lake as winds toward the city skyline but few, like this spacious mansion in northwestern Austin, feature natural vistas unspoiled by development. Located lakeside across from a nature preserve, the nearly three-acre feels like a remote retreat despite being only thirty minutes from downtown Austin.

Views of the water and preserve are easy to come by throughout the six-bedroom home thanks to large windows, a covered terrace and balconies. An open-concept floor plan blends the kitchen, dining area and living room leading to the backyard, making for the perfect space to entertain.
Constructed in 2006, the 8,846-square-foot home has since undergone extensive renovations. The result is a modern, refined residence. New white oak flooring, recessed light and tile and glass doors in the bathroom encompass some of the updates.
The kitchen received fresh surfaces, new cabinetry and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The second-level patios now boast new stone flooring and glass railings. The exterior also saw improvements, including stone slurry resurfacing and a fresh coat of paint on the stucco to achieve a robust Italian aesthetic.
In addition to its renovations, the home is notable for its wealth of recreational amenities, which include a swimming pool, spa and indoor pickleball court. A sprawling, manicured lawn stretches to the water where a private slip accommodates two boats.
