11613 Lake Stone Dr Unit #70, Austin, TX 78738

A rare opportunity in the highly sought-after gated community of Lakes Edge. Located in the only Bee Cave development zoned to the acclaimed Eanes ISD, this exceptional home sits on a spacious corner lot spanning over half an acre and backs to a serene greenbelt, offering both privacy and scenic surroundings.

Built in 2017 and meticulously maintained, the home features 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 3,593 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. The versatile floor plan includes a dedicated living room, game room, dedicated office and additional flex space.

The open-concept layout is filled with natural light and enhanced by modern finishes, wood flooring, and a custom patio door that creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The main level offers a private primary suite along with a guest bedroom featuring its own ensuite bath—ideal for multi-generational living or hosting guests.

Step outside to your private backyard retreat, complete with a pool and waterslide, the only waterslide feature in the community, all set against the peaceful greenbelt backdrop—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

Whether you’re drawn to the top-tier school zoning, oversized lot, or the lifestyle that comes with living near Lake Travis, this home presents a truly unique opportunity.

You're buying into the most selective gated community in Bee Cave with the one feature no other Bee Cave home can claim: a private waterslide backing to greenbelt. At 11613 Lake Stone Drive, Unit 70, this five-bedroom corner lot delivers what Austin's luxury market rarely offers anymore - space, privacy, and a genuine reason to stay home.

The arrival sets the tone. Bee Cave gates don't open for everyone. Once inside, you're in a 2017-built residence on 0.5145 acres that feels like its own compound within the community. The corner lot positioning means views and light from multiple exposures, with full landscaping, automatic sprinklers front and rear, and that greenbelt buffer most homes in the subdivision never access. No neighbors behind you. No traffic noise. Just the sound of water and trees.

The house itself reads like controlled luxury. 3,593 square feet across five bedrooms and four full baths plus a half bath means space for a primary suite on the main level, a dedicated office for the work-from-home reality, guest quarters with ensuite, and genuine flex rooms instead of the cramped "bonus room" marketing most builders use. Granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop with built-in oven, wood and tile flooring, coffered ceilings, recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen island anchors an open floor plan that still maintains separate living and game room zones. A walk-in pantry and tankless water heater handle the practical details that separate maintained homes from maintained luxury.

The backyard isn't a marketing afterthought. The private pool and waterslide aren't standard features anywhere in Bee Cave, let alone in a home at $472 per square foot. A mosquito system keeps the entertaining season extended. The patio creates genuine outdoor living rather than a postage stamp of concrete.

Eanes ISD zoning - specifically Barton Creek Elementary, West Ridge Middle, and Westlake High - is not incidental detail here. This is the only Bee Cave development with Eanes access, which matters for both education rankings and resale. You're 15 minutes to downtown Austin via MoPac, positioned between Lake Travis and the Hill Country without the daily traffic of central west lake.

At $1.7 million on a half-acre corner lot with a waterslide and greenbelt in the only Bee Cave community offering Eanes ISD access, this isn't just another Bee Cave listing. It's the lifestyle play - lock the gate behind you and stop looking at properties.

Bee Cave was a one-stoplight town on Highway 71 as recently as 2005. Today it has its own city government, a regional shopping center, and some of the most expensive residential real estate west of downtown Austin. That speed of transformation makes it unusual even by Central Texas standards, and it explains why the community still has a slight identity split between its rural Hill Country roots and its newer suburban polish.

Bee Cave sits about 15 miles west of downtown along Highway 71, with Ranch Road 620 forming its eastern boundary and the Hill Country stretching west toward Dripping Springs. The commute downtown takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic at the 71/MoPac merge. Heading north on 620 reaches Lakeway and the Lake Travis marinas. Heading south puts you on Hamilton Pool Road and some of the best swimming holes in the region. Hill Country Galleria provides most of what residents need day to day without driving into Austin proper.

Residential architecture reflects the Hill Country Contemporary style that dominates western Travis County - roughly 35% of homes feature native limestone, standing seam metal roofs, and walls of glass oriented toward canyon views. Another 25% lean Mediterranean with stucco, clay tile roofs, and courtyard entries. The remaining inventory splits between Modern Farmhouse builds and traditional ranch-style homes. Lot sizes range from quarter-acre in Falconhead to five-acre spreads in unincorporated pockets. Townhomes start in the mid-$500s, while custom builds in Spanish Oaks or Mirador regularly exceed $2 million. The median sale price has hovered near $900,000.

Lake Travis ISD serves Bee Cave, and it is one of the strongest draws for families relocating from central Austin. Bee Cave Elementary and Lake Travis Elementary feed into Lake Travis Middle School and Lake Travis High School, which competes at the 6A level in athletics and has strong fine arts programs. The district's tax rate is competitive with Eanes ISD, and elementary test scores consistently place in the top quartile statewide. Parents moving from Austin ISD often cite smaller class sizes and newer facilities as deciding factors.

Daily life anchors around Hill Country Galleria for shopping, but the real draw is what surrounds the town. Milton Reimers Ranch Park offers over 2,600 acres of mountain biking, rock climbing, and river access. Hamilton Pool Preserve is a 20-minute drive. Bee Cave Central Park has a splash pad for younger kids, and Falconhead Golf Club gives golfers a Hill Country layout without a full country club membership. For food, Cafe Blue does sophisticated seafood, Baguette et Chocolat handles French pastries, and Buenos Aires Cafe serves Argentine empanadas with a following across Austin. Chisos Grill covers Texas comfort food, Jack Allen's Kitchen anchors the farm-to-table crowd, and Via 313 handles pizza nights.

Bee Cave sits between Lakeway and Dripping Springs in both geography and price. It is less expensive than lakefront Lakeway but pricier than Dripping Springs, which trades proximity for larger lots. Compared to Westlake Hills, Bee Cave offers newer construction and larger lots at lower per-square-foot prices, though you lose Eanes ISD. The 71 corridor continues to develop, which supports property values but means the area feels less quiet than five years ago.

Bee Cave works for families who want Lake Travis ISD and Hill Country living without fully committing to a lakefront lifestyle. It fits people who work from home or have flexible schedules, since the Highway 71 commute can test patience during peak hours. And it suits buyers who want newer construction with fewer maintenance surprises. If you need to be downtown every day by 8 AM, look closer in. But if your priorities are space, schools, and outdoor recreation access, Bee Cave has a strong case.
