Hunters Estate sits on a hillside in Apache Shores, between Lake Austin and Lake Travis. This modern, glass-forward home has five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and room for up to 10 guests, with a private pool and outdoor spaces that make it easy for a group to linger together.
Lake Travis is about five minutes by car, and Mansfield Dam Park is close by for swimming, boating, and a picnic by the water. Lakeway's shops, restaurants, and golf courses are a short drive west. When you want the city, downtown Austin is roughly 40 minutes away, traffic depending, for live music on Rainey Street, an afternoon at Zilker Park, or dinner in the Warehouse District. Then you come back up the hill to quiet and a pool with a view.
The modern exterior sets the tone the moment you pull up. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows fill the open living space with natural light and frame the hills outside, so the view follows you from the sofa to the kitchen. The finishes are clean and contemporary, and the décor is chosen with care without feeling precious.
Start the day with coffee on the terrace, then let the pool set the pace. Swim, stretch out on the loungers between dips, or carry lunch to the outdoor dining table and stay out in the sun. Pool heating is complimentary with at least 24 hours' notice, so a cooler day doesn't have to change the plan. When evening comes, move over to the fire pit and keep the conversation going under a wide Texas sky while the hills turn gold.
The living room is bright and easy to settle into, with plenty of seating and a TV for watching a game or winding down after a day on the lake. It opens to the dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, generous counter space, and barstool seating. Make an easy breakfast, cook dinner for everyone, or just set out snacks and pull up a seat.
The bedrooms are spread across multiple levels, so everyone can find their own space when schedules split. The primary suite is the showpiece, with a king bed, a TV, outdoor access, and a spa-like ensuite bath with standout tilework and flooring, dual sinks, a shower, and a sculptural freestanding soaking tub. A second king bedroom also opens outside and has its own ensuite, which works well when two couples or families share the house. Three more bedrooms, one with a king and two with queens, round out the sleeping space.
For longer stays, the washer and dryer keep things simple, and WiFi with a laptop-friendly workspace gives you a spot to check in when needed. On-site parking fits up to six cars. The garage is private and not available to guests.
Whether it's a family getaway or a long-overdue weekend with friends, Hunters Estate gives you room for shared meals, unhurried swims, and evenings with nothing on the schedule, all a few minutes from the lake.

There are so many reasons to love Austin, and its incredible barbecue is just one. The live music capital of the world, Austin has a thriving art scene and a party culture to match. Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks. Spend your days on the lake's crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to "keep Austin weird," which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.
