A one-acre estate in the heart of Lakeway, 407 Bella Montagna Circle sits behind gated entry in a community designed around privacy and scale. Built in 2014, this 4,228 square foot residence commands the lot with stone veneer and stucco construction, presenting a formal facade that opens to an interior engineered for both daily living and significant entertaining.

The entry foyer establishes the home's architectural confidence, directing traffic through an open floor plan where sight lines connect the great room, formal dining, and kitchen into one flowing entertaining space. The great room anchors around a substantial stone gas fireplace, flanked by custom millwork and built-in bookcases running floor to ceiling. The chef's kitchen operates at commercial scale: six gas burners with griddle, three wall ovens, a warming drawer, and a built-in wine refrigerator. A butler's pantry with dedicated prep sink extends from the main kitchen, allowing service without disrupting the central cooking station. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances throughout maintain the operational efficiency expected at this price point ($372 per square foot).

The primary bedroom anchors the main floor, opening to a spa-caliber bathroom featuring a seven-foot Jacuzzi soaking tub, walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and a custom closet system. Three additional bedrooms occupy the upper level, each with walk-in closets and windows framing views of the surrounding grounds. An upstairs flex room with full bathroom converts to media space, guest suite, or playroom depending on the owner's needs.

The outdoor living spans multiple zones across the one-acre lot. A slate-tile terrace with gas and water access provides foundation for entertaining. A custom koi pond with cascading waterfall creates a focal point visible from interior windows. Two additional water features punctuate the landscaped grounds. A premium AstroTurf play area with wooden swing set occupies a separate garden zone, while raised beds support year-round cultivation. Medium-sized trees (20-40 feet) anchor the perimeter, creating sight-line privacy from neighboring properties.

Lake Travis ISD serves the address through Lake Travis Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle, and Lake Travis High School. The property carries a 1.8% property tax rate, notably low for Travis County. Recent HVAC replacement addresses mechanical systems. The three-car garage with central vacuum completes the residence's functional infrastructure.

Buyers at 407 Lakeway are acquiring both a home and a private resort compound with sufficient acreage and infrastructure to host substantive gatherings while maintaining the seclusion Lakeway's gated communities provide.

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.
