Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Sweetwater, this single-story Chesmar home offers an incredible floor plan, a private backyard, and the flexibility to make the space your own. One of its best features is the walkout backyard with full privacy fencing, no home directly behind, and a walking trail beyond the fence. It's a setup that's surprisingly hard to find, especially in a neighborhood like Sweetwater.

Inside, the Lukas floor plan makes great use of its space, with an open kitchen, dining, and living area that feels comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is especially impressive, with an enormous center island, tons of counter space, and more cabinets than you'll know what to do with. There's plenty of room for cooking, entertaining, and everyday life. The adjacent dining area features a built-in window bench, while the living room offers a stone fireplace and plenty of space to gather.

The primary suite sits privately at the back of the home, overlooking the backyard, with a generous bathroom and walk-in closet.

In the front of the house are two additional bedrooms and one of my favorite features of this floor plan: a large bonus room between them. Originally offered by the builder as an optional fourth bedroom, this space could easily serve that purpose or remain a second living area, playroom, media room, or home office. Having that extra flexibility makes this layout particularly appealing.

The backyard covered patio opens directly to a fully fenced yard with room for a pool, playscape, pets, or garden. With no immediate rear neighbor, you'll enjoy an added level of privacy that's difficult to find.

Located just steps from a neighborhood pocket park and Sweetwater's extensive trail system, residents also enjoy resort-style pools, a fitness center, sports courts, playgrounds, and community events. All within Lake Travis ISD and minutes from Bee Cave, Lakeway, shopping, dining, and everything the Hill Country has to offer.

Sweetwater is the Bee Cave community where the developer spent as much on the pool complex as some neighborhoods spend on their entire amenity package. The resort-style aquatic center includes a heated lap pool, a family pool with splash pad, and an adults-only pool, all surrounded by Hill Country landscaping and cabana seating. It sounds like a vacation resort, but this is a neighborhood amenity residents use on a regular Tuesday in June.

Sweetwater is in Bee Cave within the 78738 zip code, along Sweetwater Boulevard off Hamilton Pool Road. Downtown Austin is approximately 25 minutes east via Highway 71 to MoPac. The Bee Cave commercial district is about five minutes along the 71 corridor. Hamilton Pool Preserve is roughly 20 minutes west on Hamilton Pool Road. Reimers Ranch Park, with rock climbing, mountain biking, and Pedernales river access, is about 15 minutes in the same direction. Lake Travis boat ramps are 15 to 20 minutes away.

Housing reflects construction from 2015 through present. Hill Country Contemporary dominates at roughly 40 percent, with native limestone, metal roofing, and floor plans oriented around outdoor living. Texas Traditional accounts for about 25 percent. Modern Farmhouse at approximately 20 percent brings the open-plan aesthetic popular across Austin luxury. Lot sizes range from a fifth of an acre in townhome sections to three-quarters of an acre on estate lots. Pricing spans from the mid-$500s for patio homes to over $2.5 million for custom builds. The core market for a four-bedroom falls between $850,000 and $1.4 million.

Lake Travis ISD serves Sweetwater, with assignments at Bee Cave Elementary, Lake Travis Middle, and Lake Travis High. The district rests on strong academic performance, competitive athletics, and broad extracurriculars. Lake Travis High sends graduates to competitive universities statewide. The growing commercial tax base supplements residential revenue and supports per-student spending.

The internal trail system connects neighborhoods to the pool complex, parks, and common areas. Falconhead West trails are nearby for longer outings. Hamilton Pool draws visitors from across Texas but is close enough to feel local. Reimers Ranch offers 18-plus miles for biking and hiking plus river access. Cafe Blue handles seafood consistently. The Garden at Ellera brings Italian-influenced fare for date nights. Jack Allen's Kitchen serves Texas comfort food with local sourcing. Baguette et Chocolat provides French bakery and bistro. Meridian 98 brings a modern American menu. Summer revolves around pools and lake outings. Fall and spring push residents onto trails and into Hill Country parks.

Compared to Serene Hills, which emphasizes preserved green space, Sweetwater offers a larger community with more amenity infrastructure. Serene Hills is quieter and more intimate. Sweetwater is more active and programmed. Compared to Rough Hollow with its marina, Sweetwater lacks direct lake infrastructure but counters with the pool complex and a location closer to Bee Cave's commercial core. Rough Hollow suits buyers centered on the lake. Sweetwater suits those wanting resort amenities without tying routine to water.

Sweetwater fits families wanting a loaded amenity package, Lake Travis ISD, and Bee Cave convenience without committing to a lake or golf lifestyle. If your Saturday involves morning laps, an afternoon hike at Reimers Ranch, and dinner at one of five restaurants within ten minutes, this is where those things converge. The community is large enough for variety but structured enough that amenities create connection points. It is built for people who will actually use what the HOA provides.
