Experience an extraordinary expression of waterfront luxury at 1496 Buffalo Gap Road on the coveted shores of Lake Travis. Designed by acclaimed Cornerstone Architects, this exceptional new construction estate is positioned on one of the lake's most desirable stretches, offering rare deep-water frontage and the advantage of a protected no-wake cove for year-round boating, swimming, paddleboarding, and waterfront recreation. Spanning three levels and connected by a private elevator, the residence features 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and thoughtfully designed living spaces ideal for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining. Every finish was meticulously selected by Jenny Mason Interior Design, creating a timeless blend of sophistication and warmth. Walls of Pella windows frame breathtaking lake views while filling the home with natural light. Premium finishes include Visual Comfort lighting, Kallista and Brizo plumbing fixtures, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The chef's kitchen showcases custom cabinetry and an elite appliance package featuring Sub-Zero, Wolf, Bosch, and Miele appliances, complemented by a separate catering kitchen for effortless entertaining and additional storage. The luxurious primary suite offers sweeping lake views, a spa-inspired bath, and designer finishes, while multiple guest suites provide comfort and privacy for family and visitors. Outdoor living is equally impressive with expansive lakeview terraces, a resort-style swimming pool, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen designed for year-round enjoyment. Gas lanterns create a warm ambiance for evenings spent entertaining or relaxing by the water. A private tram provides easy access to the shoreline, where deep-water access and calm, protected conditions create an unmatched Lake Travis lifestyle. The spacious 3-car garage offers ample room for vehicles and recreational equipment. Located in the highly ranked school district of Lake Travis!
