Lake Travis16,000 SQFT Waterfront Luxury w/Boat Dock, Pickleball Courts, 12acres
This spectacular gated estate perched on Lake Travis transcends the Hill Country near Lago Vista…whisking you off to a stately chateau in the heart of France. The column-flanked, tree-lined approach to the classic circular drive sets the stage for the grand entrance. See LINK for additional pictures at the bottom of our web site.
This 10 bedroom, 11 remodeled bathroom home sits on 12.6 acres with 800 feet of water front. Celebrating the natural stone of both Texas and France, the exterior and interior of the home features detailed stonework custom carved onsite by a French sculptor. Grand columns with custom Corinthian capitals, traditional stone balustrades and two-story waterfall adorn the entrance.
Indoors, the waterfall continues as it enhances the formal living with the same waterfall ambiance, a step over river, and special lighting for the evenings. Entry grandeur is continued inside the house with the formal sunken living area with remarkable lake views. Enjoy listening to the piano played as you are cozy by the large stone fireplace. An adjacent full service wet bar is perfectly located for service to the north-east outdoor terrace.
There are many covered terraces. Ideal for relaxing evenings of dinner and indulging wine or retreating from the Texas sunlight, these terraces capture the best breezes and views, year-round. Heaters are provided in cooler weather.
Back indoors a formal dining room has amble space for a large gathering with the kitchen seating adjacent. It’s a perfect place to linger over a meal with friends.
Across the living room lies a study/office including a computer station and printer.
The fully stocked kitchen is fit for a chef and includes a Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer. The spacious island holds an extra-large sink; an additional sink, high-end appliances and a huge walk-in pantry. An open breakfast bar allows the cook to chat with family at the adjacent breakfast room. There are also several grills right outside the kitchen.
Retreat in luxury to the airy master bedroom, which enjoys lake views from the private terrace and every window. In the master bath there are two vanities plus a separate makeup counter allows room to spread out. A glass wall encloses the oversized shower with 10 separate shower heads including an overhead rain can. Linger in the corner jetted tub overlooking the vista, or splash in the walk-in travertine shower. There is a queen sleeper sofa as well. In addition to the master, there are 2 other large bedrooms with private baths and balconies upstairs.
Downstairs below, an additional king bedroom is closest to the main living areas. Further down the hallway, the lower level south wing accommodates four additional bedrooms, a billiards room, a full kitchen, family room with TV and exercise room. Two large bedrooms with walk-in closets and en-suite baths complete the second floor south wing. Over the garage, the guest house provides another two bedrooms each with two queen beds and a full hall bath, kitchen and living room. There is a full sleeper sofa and TV in the living room. All baths are stocked with toiletries.
While the inside is stunning, this home was designed to enjoy the extraordinary scenery outdoors. With sun decks and a crow’s nest balcony from the roof there is always a place to relax and feel the breeze. The expansive manicured lawns are accented with gracious walkways and beautiful lighting leading down to the negative-edge pool and spa. With the appearance of spilling in to Lake Travis, the pool is a breathtaking finale to the grounds. There are many seating areas and umbrellas to accommodate. The newly added large spa grotto below provides another space to relax and enjoy the scenery. There is also a firepit and separate seating area with palapa to enjoy lake views.

What a wonderful experience we all had at the Escondido Chalet!!This home is really special and the hostess and grounds manager are very responsive and great communicators.We had a blast!!!! Thanks
This was our 4th annual visit to this amazing mansion. The pictures don't do it justice. It's been the perfect setting for what's become my group's favorite experience of the year.
Incredible home and incredible. The pictures do not do this place justice. We had 23 people and it fit us perfectly. HIGHLY recommend renting this place for any type of family event. Thank you Kassy!
What a spectacular experience all around. We had 9 couples to celebrate an important birthday. The House Manager could not have been more helpful nor more prompt in responding. Everything was in perfect condition. The house sits on beautiful grounds right on Lake Travis with a gorgeous view. You never need to leave the property with all of the things to do - swim, boat, pickleball, walks, terraces, pool table, gym, hot tub - it's got everything.
HUGE home, this place was absolutely amazing and magical. We had ample space for our group of 15 people. The kiddos loved it, my adult friends loved it. The home was clean, the host communicative, the property beautiful. In the 3 days we were there we didn't even come close to exploring the whole home - it was just that big!
We booked this home for a very special family summer gathering. This home could not have been more perfect! The home is spectacular, well equipped with everything needed for a large family, and spacious. The boat access was convenient and they had tons of pool and lake supplies for use. Kassy was amazing to work with and very accommodating. Anything we needed she was there for us. If we ever have another large gathering this is the first home I would book!
This stunning property exceeded my expectations as a host of a professional women’s retreat — we did not want to leave! Property Manager Kassy was a gem and so very attentive and helpful leading up to and during our stay. This place is a luxurious paradise, and I look forward to hosting here again in the future!!
Absolutely amazing property. This is the only rental that I’ve ever said I would 100% go back to over and over!! My family of all ages LOVED this place, and the property manager was INCREDIBLE!!
One of the best experiences we've had in Austin. Awesome location, very peaceful overall an amazing experience. Great communication with management, I will definitely book it again!

What makes this property unique
Landscaped with a nod to a more formal time, the smooth, manicured lawns are accented with gracious walkways, cypress trees and a grand stone staircase leading down to the negative-edge pool. With the appearance of spilling in to Lake Travis, the pool is a breathtaking finale to the grounds. Rounding out this remarkable property are attached guest quarters complete with kitchen, a separate garage apartment, an equestrian paddock, a barn with 3 to 4 stalls, a pasture large enough for helicopter pad, and an adjustable floating boat dock large enough for 50’ yacht. Precisely situated and built to maximize the breeze and sun schedule, no detail has been forgotten in this palatial estate. For those that enjoy European luxury at its finest and have the heart of a Texan, this incredible home offers the best of both worlds. The property is large enough to permit helicopter landings. Please note that this property is monitored by security camera's for yours' and our protection.
