Scheduled for completion in December 2026, the Berkley G floor plan offers 4,644 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths, 1 half bath, a dedicated office or flex space, multiple living and entertaining areas, resort style pool and spa, and a 3 car garage. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and large gatherings, the home showcases modern architecture, luxurious wood flooring, built in Sub Zero refrigeration, a professional grade gas range, expansive cabinetry, and a chef inspired kitchen that anchors the open concept design. Lots of windows offer breathtaking views while filling the home with natural light. The elevated homesite and absence of rear neighbors create a private retreat with exceptional outdoor living spaces designed to capture Hill Country sunsets, city lights, and preserve views.
River Place residents enjoy convenient access to Lake Travis, River Place Country Club, miles of hiking and nature trails, boating and waterfront recreation, and some of Austin's most desirable shopping and dining destinations. Major employers, The Domain, Four Points, Cedar Park, and Downtown Austin are all within easy reach, offering the perfect balance of luxury, recreation, and everyday convenience.
5903 Silent Nova VW in Milky Way at River Place sits at one of the highest elevations in Northwest Austin, delivering panoramic views of downtown and the Hill Country from a home that doesn't officially open until December 2026. This 4,644-square-foot residence delivers the indoor-outdoor living that defines resort-style homes, with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the Berkley G floor plan that flood the main living spaces with natural light while framing those unobstructed views.
The kitchen anchors the home's social core. A professional-grade gas range, Sub Zero refrigeration, quartz counters, and a kitchen island create the working heart of the space, while the open floor plan connects seamlessly to multiple dining and living areas. Vaulted ceilings and recessed lighting amplify the sense of space. The primary bedroom claims the main floor, paired with a walk-in closet and double vanity bathroom. A dedicated office or flex space accommodates work-from-home demands without sacrificing square footage from the five additional bedrooms and six full bathrooms.
The true shift happens when you move outside. A resort-style pool and spa occupy the back, positioned to capture Hill Country sunsets and city light views without the presence of rear neighbors. The elevated 0.4-acre lot borders protected Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, creating a genuine sense of seclusion in one of Austin's most populated areas. Automatic sprinklers manage the landscaping while you manage the leisure time. A covered patio and multiple outdoor spaces allow you to chase sunlight and shade throughout the day.
River Place itself positions this home within Austin's most established luxury neighborhood, a 25-minute drive from The Domain shopping and office park, roughly 20 minutes to downtown Austin, and direct access to Lake Travis recreation. The community connects to miles of hiking trails and the River Place Country Club membership opportunities. Leander ISD schools serve the area, with nearby River Place Elementary, Four Points Middle, and Vandegrift High School all within the district.
The combination of protected green space, downtown views, new construction at this elevation, and the resort-style leisure infrastructure makes this home function less as a residence and more as a permanent base for a lifestyle built around refinement and outdoor living in North Austin's most coveted address.

River Place is home to one of the most technical trail systems inside Austin city limits. The River Place Nature Trail drops nearly 800 feet through three distinct canyons - Canyon Trail, Panther Hollow, and Little Fern - before reaching Lake Austin. Most neighborhoods talk about outdoor access. River Place delivers terrain that makes experienced hikers pay attention, starting from a trailhead residents can reach on foot.
The neighborhood sits in northwest Austin, bounded by RR 2222 south, RR 620 east, and Balcones Canyonlands north and west. Lake Austin forms the western boundary. Downtown takes about twenty-five minutes via 2222 or 360, and the Arboretum tech corridor is fifteen minutes east. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse has been a reliable dinner spot for years. Butterwhisk Brunch House draws weekend crowds. Russell's Bakery handles morning coffee. Bellissima does Italian, Galaxy Cafe covers casual lunch.
Housing is predominantly Texas Traditional and Hill Country Stone, reflecting the natural landscape of limestone ledges and native oak groves. Mediterranean and Contemporary styles make up the rest. Homes range from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet. Flat lots are around a quarter acre, while ridgeline lots can exceed an acre. Prices start in the mid-$600s for older homes and run past $2 million for newer builds with views. The sweet spot is $800,000 to $1.4 million for a four- or five-bedroom with Hill Country views and privacy.
River Place is served by Leander ISD. River Place Elementary is the neighborhood school with a solid reputation. Students feed into Canyon Ridge Middle School and Vandegrift High School, both relatively new campuses. Vandegrift has earned recognition for music programs, competitive sports, and college prep. Leander ISD may not carry the name recognition of Eanes to the south, but the schools serving River Place are well-funded and consistently improving.
The Nature Trail is the headliner, but Bull Creek and St. Edwards Park are both nearby. Bull Creek has swimming holes that fill up on summer weekends. St. Edwards Park has canyon overlooks and seasonal waterfall access. The River Place Country Club provides golf, tennis, swimming, and social events. Weekend mornings start on a trail or at the club, and the rhythm tracks the school calendar. Summers bring families to creek beds, fall means Friday nights at Vandegrift.
River Place competes with Steiner Ranch, Canyon Creek, and northern Westlake. Steiner Ranch has similar outdoor access but feels denser. Canyon Creek lacks the canyon-and-ridge topography. Westlake offers Eanes ISD but at significantly higher prices. River Place hits a value position that is hard to match: Hill Country terrain, strong schools, twenty-five-minute commute, at prices well below Westlake or Rob Roy.
River Place makes sense for families who want Hill Country terrain and outdoor access without leaving Austin city limits. It is the right neighborhood for people who want a nature trail out the back door, a good school district, and enough space to breathe within a reasonable commute.
