106 El Norte Ct, Lakeway, TX 78734

Tucked beneath a canopy of magnificent mature oaks on a private .40-acre cul-de-sac lot, this distinctive Lakeway home offers an exceptional combination of character, privacy and relaxed indoor-outdoor living. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, while inside, soaring wood-beamed ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows fill the main living area with natural light and frame beautiful views of the backyard and pool. A limestone fireplace adds warmth and character, complemented by wood floors, plantation shutters and thoughtfully updated finishes throughout.

The kitchen opens to the living area and features granite countertops, a marble subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a butcher-block island with wine storage and a farmhouse sink. Multiple living and dining spaces provide flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a sitting area and private balcony overlooking the living room and backyard, along with an updated bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower and generous closet. Three additional bedrooms and a loft/game room provide plenty of additional space.

Outside, the home truly shines. Recently installed multiple, expansive decking and patio areas surround the heated pool and spa, creating a private retreat shaded by towering trees and designed for year-round enjoyment. With a large, level lot, abundant outdoor living space and a peaceful setting, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining in the heart of Lakeway.

Located close to Lake Travis, golf, parks, trails, shopping and dining, and served by highly regarded Lake Travis ISD. No HOA.

Lakeway is the only city in the Austin metro where you can step off an 18th green, drive three minutes to a full-service marina, and be on the water before your golf shoes are off. That combination of golf and lake access within a single small city defines the lifestyle and explains why the community has attracted a specific kind of buyer for more than 50 years - people who want resort-quality recreation woven into daily routine rather than saved for vacation.

Lakeway sits on the south shore of Lake Travis, about 20 miles west of downtown along Highway 71 and Ranch Road 620. The drive downtown takes 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic at the 620/2222 interchange. The 620 corridor runs through the commercial district with H-E-B, medical offices, and growing restaurant and retail options. Bee Cave and Hill Country Galleria sit just south on 71, adding another tier of shopping within 10 minutes. The marina community gives waterfront access ranging from personal watercraft to full-size wakeboarding boats.

Hill Country Contemporary homes make up about 30% of inventory, featuring limestone, metal roofing, and expansive glass. Mediterranean designs account for 25%, popular in gated and golf course sections. Traditional Ranch homes represent 20%, concentrated in older sections near the original resort. The rest splits between Modern Farmhouse and custom contemporary on ridgeline lots. Lot sizes range from 8,000 square feet in townhome sections to full-acre spreads in Rough Hollow. Pricing starts in the low $500s for older condos, runs through $700,000 to $1.2 million for standard single-family, and reaches $3 million for waterfront or golf-front custom properties.

Lake Travis ISD serves Lakeway and consistently draws families relocating from central Austin. Lakeway Elementary and Serene Hills Elementary feed into Hudson Bend Middle School and Lake Travis High School. Lake Travis High competes at 6A across Texas athletics with a strong football tradition alongside solid academics and fine arts. District facilities are newer than most Austin ISD campuses, and per-student spending is competitive with Eanes ISD at a lower tax rate.

The daily rhythm follows the lake and golf courses. Morning fog on Lake Travis burns off by 9 AM, and early risers are already on the water - kayaking coves, fishing bluffs, or running ski boats before afternoon wind. Lakeway Resort and Spa offers pool and fitness facilities, and Flintrock Falls Golf Club provides a Hill Country course. The Canyonlands trail system and Mount Lakeway trail offer hill hiking with lake views. Hamilton Greenbelt provides a shaded creek walk. For dining, The Grove Wine Bar anchors the upscale casual tier. SP Brazilian Steakhouse brings the full churrasco experience. Canyon Grille does American fare in a golf course setting. The Gramercy adds a polished New American option. MorninGlory handles breakfast with the consistency that turns a restaurant into a weekend ritual.

Lakeway is more developed than Jonestown and Lago Vista to the north, which offer lower prices but less infrastructure. It is less expensive than waterfront estates in Point Venture. And it provides a more recreational lifestyle than Bee Cave, which has better highway access but less lake connection. The main consideration is the 620 corridor, which can slow to a crawl during peak hours.

Lakeway works for buyers who want lake and golf access as a daily reality. It fits retirees with flexibility to enjoy the water on quiet weekday mornings. It suits families who value Lake Travis ISD and want kids growing up on the water. It works for remote workers who can schedule around the commute. If you need to be downtown every day by 8, the commute will wear on you. But if your priorities are outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a pace a few beats slower than central Austin, Lakeway makes a compelling case.
