1710 Barton Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78735

From the moment you enter the gates of this Sinclair Black designed six-acre property—surrounded by 17 and 25-acre tracts—the approach to the front door encourages all who enter to slow down and take in every inch of this estate home. The entrance from the front gardens and into the interior feels seamless as nature meets luxury at every step. The pine beams throughout the house, hand-hewn on the property, draw your eyes to the soaring cathedral ceilings while the Leuder stone walkways and native cedar floors ground the space. Anchored on both sides by walls of windows that bring warmth and relaxation, the main living space is a magnificent structure all its own. With multiple living and dining areas, each of these areas is designed to invite a specific purpose and ambiance. The kitchen is the ideal of gourmet comfort: an 8-burner Viking range with double ovens, a custom stainless steel Thermador vent hood, walls of glass-fronted built-on-site custom cabinetry, and Venetian green granite. The adjacent breakfast room opens to a large screened-in porch. Past the kitchen, you enter one of the private wings which houses a bedroom with a custom Murphy bed and an oversized closet, in addition to another large bedroom and family room. The final wing of the house is highlighted by the owner’s retreat, with triple exposure views that highlight the privacy of this property: the hills, the trees, the water features, the sunset porch, the walking trails, and the meditation rock. The spa-like bathroom features travertine counters and floors, a walk-in shower, and closets with built-in drawers and benches. This wing of the house also boasts a second-story office retreat on its own floor with 360 exposure and private balcony. As special as this fully customized dwelling is, the value of the six acres of uncluttered nature that surround it cannot be underestimated. In 2024, the one-of-a-kind Sinclair Black designed infinity edge pool and spa put the final touches on this gem.

Barton Creek is Austin's premier golf community in 78735 - four championship courses thread through eight gated villages, twenty minutes from downtown. Median home price around $2.95M, with custom estates ranging from $1.2M patio homes to $6M+ golf-course frontage properties. Austin ISD schools.

Turn off Bee Caves Road and the Hill Country opens up - limestone ridges, old-growth oaks, fairways disappearing into canyons. Fazio Foothills (Tom Fazio's 1986 original at 7,087 yards) is the signature course, with Fazio Canyons and Coore Crenshaw offering different character. The Omni Barton Creek Resort anchors the community with spa, pools, dining, and member events.

Eight gated sections each have distinct character: Amarra Drive for new-build contemporary estates ($3M-$6M+), The Preserve for Hill Country views and privacy, Wimberly Lane for established homes with mature landscaping. HOA governance varies by section - some enforce architectural review strictly, others are lighter touch.

The buyer profile skews toward avid golfers (40% of purchases), families choosing Austin ISD, and C-suite executives who need estate-level privacy 20 minutes from downtown. The Greenbelt borders the western edge, and Sculpture Falls is accessible from within the community.
