48 Tiburon Dr, The Hills, TX 78738

Situated on the 1st hole within The Hills, this updated residence blends timeless elegance with refined modern living. From the moment the front door opens, sweeping golf course views become the focal point of the home, creating a sense of tranquility that carries throughout nearly every room and outdoor space. Designed with both comfort and sophistication in mind, the home offers 4 bedrooms, a dedicated office, and 4 full bathrooms, including 2 bedrooms on the main level. Expansive windows frame the fairways from every corner, while the open-concept living spaces flow effortlessly between the grand living room with custom built-ins and fireplace, the elevated dining area, and the private deck, a true extension of the home and the perfect setting to unwind while overlooking the course. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features a dramatic marble island, double wall ovens, and custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry designed for both beauty and functionality. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, oversized dual-access walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath, and adjoining flex space ideal for a home office, fitness studio, or lounge. Upstairs, each secondary bedroom features its own beautifully updated private en-suite bathroom enhanced by natural light and architectural skylights. Mature trees, a covered terrace, and a spacious three-car garage with dedicated golf cart space complete the experience. Located behind the 24-hour guard gates of The Hills, residents enjoy direct golf cart access to The Hills Country Club and proximity to trails, parks, the Hill Country Galleria, and Lake Travis marinas.

At 48 Tiburon Drive in The Hills, you're buying a home that functions like a private resort within one of Austin's most exclusive gated communities. This 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence sits directly on the first hole of the championship golf course, with unobstructed fairway views from the moment you enter the stone-and-timber front foyer.

The home's design centers on seamless indoor-outdoor living. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the golf course from the grand living room, elevated dining area, and primary suite. The chef's kitchen anchors the main level with a marble island, double wall ovens, wine cooler, and custom cabinetry that flows directly onto a covered terrace and private deck. This outdoor extension becomes the natural gathering space, overlooking mature trees and the manicured fairways beyond. The coffered ceilings and crown molding throughout reinforce the refined aesthetic without feeling overdone.

The primary suite operates as a personal sanctuary. Positioned on the main level for convenience, it includes a spa-inspired dual-vanity bathroom, fireplace, and an oversized walk-in closet. The adjacent flex space works equally well as a home office, fitness studio, or private lounge. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathrooms, skylights, and storage solutions that eliminate compromise on guest comfort.

Stone construction and the 0.2029-acre lot provide durability and privacy. The three-car garage includes dedicated golf cart parking, which matters here: The Hills offers 24-hour gated security and direct cart access to The Hills Country Club without crossing a single public road. From there, you reach the extensive trail network around Lake Travis, the Hill Country Galleria for shopping and dining, and multiple marinas within minutes.

The property sits in Lake Travis Independent School District. Lakeway Elementary, Hudson Bend Middle, and Lake Travis High School all serve this address. The 3,240 square feet across both levels was built in 1991 but substantially updated, priced at $1.45 million or $447 per square foot.

At this price point and location, you're not buying a house that overlooks golf. You're buying the golf course as your backyard, with the infrastructure and privacy of a members-only resort where you never need to leave.

The Hills of Lakeway is one of the few communities in the Lake Travis corridor where you can play 36 holes on two separate courses without leaving the neighborhood gates. That fact tells you about the scale of this place and the kind of life people build here. The community wraps around the Hills Country Club and Flintrock Falls Golf Club, and daily life syncs to tee times and school calendars in roughly equal measure.

The Hills sits along Lakeway Boulevard in the western arc of Lake Travis. From the main gate, you are about 25 minutes to downtown Austin via Highway 71 and MoPac, though most residents run errands in the Bee Cave and Lakeway corridor, five minutes away. The 78734 zip code covers this stretch. Access to Lake Travis boat ramps at Mansfield Dam is about ten minutes, and Austin-Bergstrom airport is a 35-minute drive.

Housing reflects three decades of building, with original sections dating to the late 1980s and newer custom homes going up through the 2010s. Texas Hill Country architecture dominates at roughly 35 percent, with limestone facades, metal roofing accents, and deep covered porches. Mediterranean homes with stucco and clay tile make up about 25 percent, and transitional contemporary designs account for another 20 percent. Lot sizes range from a quarter acre in the townhome sections to over an acre on the golf course perimeter. Prices run from the mid-$500s for patio homes to over $2 million for custom builds with golf course or canyon views.

Lake Travis ISD serves the Hills, and families here attend Bee Cave Elementary, Lake Travis Middle School, and Lake Travis High School. Lake Travis High has built a strong reputation in academics and athletics, with multiple state football championships. The district ranks among the top in the Austin metro for test scores and college readiness. Several private options are within driving distance, but most families here chose the address specifically for Lake Travis ISD.

Daily life revolves around club amenities and the outdoors. The World of Tennis facility offers indoor and outdoor courts, fitness classes, and a social calendar. Golf carts are common on internal roads, ferrying residents between the clubhouse, pool, and driveways. SP Brazilian Steakhouse in Bee Cave handles special occasion meals. Canyon Grille serves solid American fare with lake views. The Grove Wine Bar is a weeknight favorite, and Cafe Blue covers seafood. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse rounds out options ten minutes north. Weekends involve Hamilton Greenbelt hikes, Canyonlands Nature Preserve trails, or the easy loop at Lakeway City Park Trail.

Within the corridor, the Hills is more established and golf-centric than Rough Hollow or Serene Hills, which lean toward resort-and-marina or green-space lifestyles. Compared to Lakeway proper outside the gates, the Hills offers guard-gated privacy with dedicated amenities. You will pay less per square foot than custom cliff-side homes along Comanche Trail, but more than production builds in Bee Cave's newer subdivisions.

The Hills works best for families wanting Lake Travis ISD, club amenities they will actually use, and a routine that avoids Austin traffic. Retirees who play golf several times a week find the lifestyle hard to beat, and townhomes offer low-maintenance options. If your weekends involve lake mornings and afternoon rounds, and weeknights mean walking the dog while golf carts hum past, this fits. It is not the flashiest Lake Travis address, but people here chose it for exactly that reason.
