808 Rivercliff Dr, Spicewood, TX 78669

Behind a private gate and down a winding drive through Live Oaks and wildflowers, this Italian-inspired villa sits on 6.91 acres above the Colorado River. It feels private and removed, yet Austin Golf Club is just minutes away and Austin is an easy drive from home.

The 4,307-square-foot residence offers five bedrooms and 4.5 baths, with arched doorways, beamed ceilings, stonework, and custom details throughout—even bathroom sinks carved from petrified wood. The kitchen is made for serious cooking, with an eight-burner Thermador range, pot filler, paneled KitchenAid refrigerator, and generous gathering space. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the dining room with light, where a one-of-a-kind table crafted from a massive petrified tree feels perfectly at home. The nearby living room centers around a substantial stone fireplace.

Both the first- and second-story patios are screened, extending the living spaces outdoors while capturing views across the property. The main screened porch features another fireplace and built-in grill. Beyond it, the negative-edge pool and spa overlook the landscape and sunset, while a grotto with a 20-foot waterfall and cold spa creates a dramatic private retreat.

The land itself is meant to be used, with a pond, gardens, fruit trees, and seven active beehives producing about 15 gallons of honey annually. A private boat dock provides direct access to the Colorado River.

Solar power, geothermal systems, rainwater collection, and a roughly 1,100-square-foot climate-controlled garage with 110V and 220V power add thoughtful functionality. The owners plan to apply for an agricultural exemption in January 2027, adding future potential tax savings to acreage that is already productive and purposeful.

What makes this property special is the rare combination of privacy, water access, craftsmanship, sustainability, and the freedom to enjoy all of it—while staying connected to Austin.

A private boat dock on 6.91 acres overlooking Lake Travis puts this Rivercliff estate in Spicewood at the center of Austin's water sports scene. The moment your boat hits the water from your own dock and lift, you're launching directly into Lake Travis with zero marina logistics. Mornings launch into paddleboarding or fishing. Afternoons accelerate into wakeboarding and cruising. This is the rare Hill Country property where your adventure doesn't start with a 45-minute drive to the lake - it starts with walking down the slope from your back porch.

The home itself is the basecamp. Built in 2012 on a private maintained road in Rivercliff Sec 2, this 4,308 sqft, 5-bedroom structure sits elevated above the water with stone construction and an open floor plan designed for gear staging. The kitchen anchors the operation with a 8-burner Thermador range, built-in refrigeration, and a workflow that handles feeding crews before and after long days outside. The primary bedroom occupies the main floor. Beamed ceilings and stone flooring run through living spaces. A heated pool with negative edge sightlines toward the cliffside and a 20-foot waterfall grotto provide recovery and reflection after high-intensity days.

The grounds solve the storage problem every active family faces. A 1,100 sqft climate-controlled garage with 110v and 220v capacity houses water sports equipment, mountain bikes, tools, and seasonal gear. RV hookups on the property mean trailers and vehicles park onsite. This property doesn't require you to rent storage units or cobble together solutions across multiple locations.

The rush lives in the access. Lake Travis sits directly below. The Colorado River corridor feeds into it. Marble Falls ISD serves the area with Spicewood Elementary as the local anchor. The Austin Golf Club operates minutes away. Rolling terrain and mature live oak cover the 6.91 acres, with solar power, rainwater systems, and geo-thermal construction backing the property's operational efficiency. At $998 per sqft and zero days on market, this Spicewood address appeals to buyers who treat their home as the launchpad, not the destination.
