Designed by acclaimed architect Jeffrey Berkus, this extraordinary waterfront estate on Lake Travis is set on more than 2 acres within the gated Costa Bella community. Positioned on a protected deep-water cove, the property features a private tram and observation deck leading to a two-slip boat dock with HydroHoist lifts. Expansive terraces and balconies capture sweeping lake views, while walls of windows bring the waterfront setting into nearly every major living space. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the residence includes five en-suite bedrooms, including a detached casita with a private entrance and kitchenette. High ceilings, exposed wood beams, natural stone accents, and custom millwork create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout. The recently updated kitchen features refreshed finishes, a Janska range, and a fireplace that adds to the luxurious ambiance. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a fireplace, coffee bar, spa-inspired bath, terrace access, and panoramic water views. Exceptional outdoor living features a heated pool, expansive patios, and multiple vantage points for enjoying sunsets over the lake. Recent enhancements include HVAC systems, retaining wall and foundation improvements, pool upgrades, Tesla solar panels with three Powerwall batteries, and integrated smart lighting. Residents of Costa Bella enjoy access to a waterfront clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, and community event spaces, completing one of Lake Travis' most exceptional waterfront offerings. Tax and assessed values are estimates for illustration purposes only. All figures should be independently verified.
Vineyard Bay, located between Hudson Bend Road and the Lake Travis shoreline, is a lakeside and residential Hudson Bend neighborhood with private docks and winding, hill-country streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hudson Bend Road corridor near the turn toward the lake, where boat trailers, bait-and-tackle stops, and low-key patios set a weekend-on-the-water rhythm. Homes lean toward Texas Hill Country forms—stone accents, broad porches, and terraced lots shaped by the terrain. Lake views and pocket coves influence daily routines, from sunrise paddles to evening walks along quiet lanes. The setting feels removed from city noise, with dark skies and the sound of watercraft carrying across the inlets.
