Lake Travis16,000 SQFT Waterfront Luxury Estate w/Guesthouse & Boat Dock 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. A few feet away is the entrance to the dock. There are 4 paddleboards and 4 kayaks for guest use along with plenty of lifejackets. Guest can arrange to have a boat delivered to the dock or choose to park your own.

For the sports minded, ENJOY OUR 2 NEW LIGHTED PICKLEBALL COURTS! In addition to our billiard and foosball tables, enjoy our 1/2 court basketball court and Ping-Pong table. Guest enjoy playing yard games on the expansive back lawn.

We are here to accommodate you and offer concierge-like service to our guests! If you need something just ask. Guests love to hire our recommended chefs, they take care of everything for your dining pleasure.

The Perfect Family Reunion
This was our second year to go to Escondido in Paradise Cove for our annual family gathering and it was just as glorious! Kassy, the property manager, was very helpful and went out of her way to make our trip successful. The home was lovely and pristine. Diego, the grounds manager, kept the property beautiful. We hope to return!

What an Experience!!!
This was our 2nd time staying at this gorgeous place and once again, it was a spectacular time. The house, the grounds and the location are all 5-Star. But the Property Manager, Kassy, is 6-Star! Whenever I had anything to say or ask, I'd hear back from her immediately. She did whatever it took to accommodate whatever we needed. I've never had someone so diligent and efficient in all the dozens and dozens of places we've rented over the years. My favorite thing is to watch the faces of our guests when they walk into the house for the first time. Their jaws drop to the floor and their smiles never leave their faces. The Pool is beautiful with plenty of pool toys and large umbrellas for shade. The Master Bedroom is humongous as well as the Master Bathroom. The Kitchen is just as big with a massive island and the gathering spot for all to hang out. I can't recommend this place enough. It's expensive but it will be the trip of a lifetime for you and yours.

Perfect property for a large family gathering.
We had 24 people for our Thanksgiving gathering. This house was perfect with multiple living areas and the 3 kitchens made the meal prep much easier. Everybody from old to young loved the property. Kassy was very helpful and responsive. We hope to book again in the future.

Above & Beyond!
This property is perfect for a large group! 25 adults and eight children, including three six-month-olds, went to Austin to spend a long weekend together and watch the eclipse. The house had spaces for all of us to gather, inside and out, spaces for small groups, and even little nooks to be alone. Everything was spotless and well stocked with towels, kitchen supplies, cribs, and even some toys. Kassy, the property manager, went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, including delivering groceries to the property that we pre-ordered and offering advice about local attractions. We highly recommend this property and Kassy!

This place was indescribable! Way better than the pictures. Breathtaking! Everything was immaculate! Plenty of supplies-kitchen equipment, cleaning supplies etc. It is a great place for a large group. Lots of places to be together inside and out. Also plenty of space and areas if you want moments alone. Highly recommend.

Great trip, amazing property
We had an incredible stay at this property. The house is amazing. There were 20 of us and still the house almost felt too big! We loved lounging by the pool taking in the amazing views. Kassy was amazing to work with and helped with our planning, stocking the fridge, etc. The only caveat - it's a bit further from downtown Austin and more remote than I had thought, so if we could do it again (and we might), we likely wouldn't leave!

Best Kept Secret Destination
One of the most picturesque, peaceful, and breathtaking properties that I have ever visited. I cannot convey how pleased I was with our accommodations. Words cannot convey the hospitality of the home or its owners, Paul and Wendy. I am truly grateful that they are sharing it. I have already started trying to see when we can return in 2016.

Luxurious Retreat
We arrived on a wet weekend and still had a fabulous time. The house has multiple sitting areas that facilitated catching up with old friends. The grotto was a lovely spot to sit outside and stay dry! There was plenty of room to eat together. There was a plethora of toys that kept the kids entertained. The pool was awesome. Highly recommend this as a HUGE space for large groups.

Exceptional Home!!
Escondido Chateau is literally the best! This is our second time renting the home and it was better than the first! Working with Kassy, the property manager is amazing, she is kind and helpful and everything you would hope for in a manager. Everything is clean, well stocked, accommodates, a huge crowd, we had 10 adults and 21 kids under are 17. The kids were crying when they had to leave. It was so great! There is a reason why this house has five stars. It deserves every star!

Family GetAway
I travel extensively and we have leased several high end properties in the Austin area for short weekend retreats. Escondido 2 was the nicest we have ever spent time at, hands down. The property was immaculate and set up for large gatherings or family events. We had a family group of 17 and absolutely got lost in the main property, its clearly large enough to comfortably hold much more with minimal issues. The finishes, furniture, and details are all very high end as well as laid out in a way that all can enjoy. I would recommend the property to anyone looking for an exceptional experience.

Breathtaking Property for 40th Anniversary Weekend
Let me start by saying the online pictures doesn't do the property justice. From the time we were welcomed to the Estate until departure we were in awe. The property was just stunning. The estate is simply gorgeous, spacious and had the perfect ambiance for our Anniversary weekend. The referred chefs cooked us a delicious anniversary dinner that was awesome. My group of 16 adults and 3 children had a super wonderful time. Hands-down I picked the perfect property to accommodate my family and friends for our anniversary weekend. Love, Love, Loved my stay here and plan to return!

Every family member had a wonderful Easter weekend. From the 1 year old to age 70, it was great. If I changed anything it would be to extend the visit. We could not do all the activities in 3 days. Thanks to Kassy & Diego for paying attention to my special requests. I did not have to ask for much, the house was amazingly well stocked.

This is our second family vacation at Paradise Cove! The house is Amazing and Kassy is a great manager! We were greeted on time and reviewed all the home’s beautiful amenities! The house is always a comfortable temperature. The grounds, the pool and views are breathtaking!!! My only suggestion would be some empty shelving for our groceries in the pantry because I love cooking and take lots of food for our stay! It is definitely a perfect place!

Paradise Cove was PARADISE!
Everything about this property was extraordinary. From the booking to the refund of the damage deposit , the process was efficient. Kassy, the property manager kept in contact, answered my questions, sometimes within minutes, and offered advice and suggestions to any outside services that I inquired about. The property itself was absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place or had a better time. Our group ranged from 1 year old to 75 years old and it accomodated us all. We would most definitely return to this beautiful home.
