High above the rolling terrain of Spanish Oaks, one of Austin’s most exclusive guard-gated communities, a Modern Spanish-style estate is quietly commanding attention from its scenic ridge-top perch.
Set back along a long private driveway and spread across more than two acres, the 6,556-square-foot residence was built for privacy, panoramic views, and serious indoor-outdoor living.
The home is currently on the market for $5.499 million, but its appeal goes far beyond the listing — offering a layout designed for entertaining, resort-level outdoor spaces, and sweeping sightlines that stretch across the Texas Hill Country.
From its soaring glass walls to its infinity-edge pool and multi-room entertainment setup, the property delivers the kind of scale and setting typically reserved for Austin’s most coveted estates.
Five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and more than 6,500 square feet on 2.2 private acres
The single-family home spans 6,556 square feet with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one partial bath, along with an attached private casita.
The property sits on roughly 2.2 acres and includes a three-car garage with parking for up to eight additional vehicles.
Open-concept living spaces connect the kitchen, dining area, living room, and full bar — all oriented to capture uninterrupted Hill Country views.
A long private drive and dramatic approach through Spanish Oaks
A winding driveway leads up to the residence, creating both privacy and a striking arrival experience. Set high above the surrounding landscape, the home’s elevated position allows for unobstructed views in nearly every direction.
Full privacy from neighboring homes
The ridge-top location also keeps the home visually separated from neighboring properties, reinforcing the estate-like feel of the setting.
Soaring 20-foot ceilings framed by walls of Fleetwood glass doors
Inside, 20-foot ceilings immediately set the tone, while expansive Fleetwood glass doors line the main living areas. The glass walls flood the interior with natural light and keep the Hill Country scenery front and center throughout the home.
The design makes the outdoor views feel like an extension of the living space rather than a backdrop.
A chef’s kitchen centered around a massive Calacatta marble island
At the heart of the home sits a statement kitchen anchored by a large Calacatta marble island. The space is outfitted with top-tier Thermador appliances and flows directly into the living, dining, and bar areas for easy entertaining.
A butler’s pantry adds extra prep and storage space, keeping the main kitchen sleek and uncluttered.
Open living and dining spaces designed around the views
The main living room features a fireplace and direct sightlines through the glass doors to the surrounding hills. The dining area and full bar sit within the same open layout, creating one continuous entertainment zone.
Whether hosting large gatherings or quieter evenings, every main space stays connected to the landscape outside.
A primary suite with windowed bath (and windowed shower)
The primary bedroom functions as a private retreat, complete with its own fireplace and direct access to the pool area. The en-suite bathroom includes a soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and scenic Hill Country views — that can be enjoyed from both the bath tub and the shower!
A generously sized walk-in closet rounds out the suite, offering storage on a scale to match the home’s overall footprint.
A circular staircase leading to a private overlook
A dramatic circular staircase leads to an upper overlook space. Positioned to capture sunrise and sunset views, the overlook works equally well as a quiet morning retreat or an elevated entertaining spot.
It adds architectural interest while creating a distinct secondary living area above the main floor.
A full lineup of entertainment and lifestyle rooms
Beyond the main living spaces, the home includes a state-of-the-art media room for movie nights and a game room outfitted with shuffleboard and a multi-screen viewing setup.
Including a chic game room and movie theater
Additional rooms include a fitness room, piano room, family room, and multiple offices with expansive views — giving the home the flexibility to function as both a private retreat and a high-energy entertainment hub.
An infinity-edge pool and spa overlooking the Hill Country
Outdoors, the property transforms into a resort-style setting centered around an infinity-edge pool and spa. The pool deck sits directly above the rolling hills, creating uninterrupted sightlines across the landscape.
The elevated position makes sunset views a daily feature rather than a special occasion.
Outdoor kitchen, fire features, and expansive lounging zones
The backyard includes a full outdoor kitchen, fire pit, fireplace, and multiple lounging areas spread across a large deck. A pool table on the outdoor deck adds another entertainment element, turning the space into an open-air game and gathering zone.
The layout allows different areas to function simultaneously for dining, relaxing, and hosting.
A private attached casita for guests or extended stays
An attached casita adds a separate living option with its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and balcony. It’s ideal for long-term guests, multigenerational living, or private office use.
The space maintains separation while staying fully connected to the main residence.
Additional features built for comfort and convenience
The estate includes well water for irrigation, extensive parking, and premium finishes throughout. The three-car garage is paired with room for six to eight additional vehicles along the driveway and motor court.
Only 20 minutes from downtown Austin
Located within Spanish Oaks, the property also sits inside a community known for championship golf, hiking trails, and 24/7 guard-gated security — all roughly 20 minutes from downtown Austin. Myles Lewis with Coldwell Banker Realty holds the listing.
