189 Shimmering Shore Ct, Spring Branch, TX 78070-5228
About this home
Ultimate privacy awaits in this stunning Tuscan-style villa estate set on 3 acres along the shores of Canyon Lake. This exceptional custom home offers more than 5,200 square feet of beautifully designed living space with breathtaking lake views. Inside, the exquisite interior showcases a grand great room with soaring 20+ foot vaulted ceilings accented by dramatic trussed beams. Elegant finishes include travertine tile, Italian brick-glazed porcelain tile, hand-troweled walls, and wide wood slat flooring throughout. Designed with entertaining in mind, the chef's kitchen is fully equipped with three Wolf ovens, a warming oven, Thermador appliances, stone sinks, and two large granite-topped islands that provide generous prep and dining space. An auxiliary kitchen and pantry offer additional convenience with an extra refrigerator and stone farmhouse sinks. Just off the great room, an Italian-style bar and temperature-controlled wine room create the perfect setting for hosting guests. The luxurious owner's retreat is generously sized and features a grand stone fireplace, solid knotty alder doors with beveled glass leading to the patio and lake views, dual custom closets, a secondary laundry area, and an adjacent exercise or flex room. The spa-inspired bathroom includes a large soaking tub and an expansive walk-through shower. Spacious secondary bedrooms each offer stunning lake views and private en-suite bathrooms, while the fourth bedroom includes an efficiency kitchen and private balcony. Outdoors, enjoy peaceful surroundings from the expansive covered patio complete with an outdoor kitchen, large stone fireplace, and fire pit. The backyard centerpiece is a sparkling heated negative-edge pool with a 32-foot swim lane and spa. A long circular driveway leads to an oversized three-car garage with a boat bay, additional walkthrough storage room, and ample parking for vehicles. A former fourth garage bay has been converted into a climate-controlled shop or workout room. This remarkable estate offers luxury, privacy, and spectacular lakefront living-an extraordinary property that must be experienced in person.
Mystic Shores, located between Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River, is a hill-country and lakeside Canyon Lake neighborhood with limestone bluffs and big-sky views. The mood concentrates around the Mystic Shores POA waterfront park and boat ramp, where kayaks, fishing lines, and sunset watchers set the pace. Homes lean Texas Hill Country—stone accents, metal roofs, deep porches, and long driveways that follow the terrain. The landscape reads as cedar, oak, and rocky outcrops, with winding roads that open to water glimpses. Nearby, the Whitewater Amphitheater and the Historic Gruene Hall anchor live-music nights, while The Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar keeps the riverfront table scene classic. Days often revolve around lake time, trail walks, and quiet stargazing after dark.
