901 Cypress Grove Dr, Austin, TX 78732

Tucked behind the gates of the exclusive McCormick Ranch enclave within Steiner Ranch, this contemporary estate offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and thoughtful design. Set on nearly one acre in a community of just 15 homes, the property captures sweeping Hill Country views while remaining moments from the UT Golf Club.

Built in 2018 by Paradisa Homes, the 5,847-square-foot residence is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Expansive windows, tall ceilings, and an open layout create a bright, connected feel throughout the main living spaces.

The home includes five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a single office offering flexibility for a variety of needs. At the center, the kitchen is equipped with Wolf appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, full-size wine fridge, double islands, and under-cabinet lighting, all opening seamlessly to the living and dining areas.

Sliding glass doors extend the living space outdoors to a private setting with a pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, and a fully motorized screened-in porch designed for year-round use. The setting offers a balance of open views and natural privacy, creating a quiet retreat without sacrificing convenience.

Smart home integration provides control of lighting, climate, audio, security, and motorized blackout shades. A dedicated media room adds a comfortable space for entertainment.

Additional features include a garage with 10-foot doors and capacity for up to five vehicles with a lift, fire suppression system, automatic lighting, and a smart water monitoring and shut-off system, fully remodeled media room, custom drapes, wallpaper and sound proofing paneling in the game room. Well positioned within Steiner Ranch, the property offers convenient access to Lake Austin, golf, dining, and outdoor recreation.

The moment you step onto the dock at 901 Cypress Grove Drive in Steiner Ranch, you understand what separates waterfront living from everything else. This 5,847-square-foot contemporary estate sits on nearly one acre in a gated community of just 15 homes, meaning the water that defines your daily life remains yours alone. Built in 2018 by Paradisa Homes, the home is oriented entirely around the sensory rhythm of lake living.

Inside, 12-foot ceilings and walls of glass blur the boundary between interior and water's edge. The open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining room, and living areas in one continuous space where you can monitor the light changing on the water while preparing dinner. Wolf appliances, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a full wine fridge are positioned to make entertaining natural rather than labored. Five bedrooms and five full bathrooms, plus a dedicated home office and media room, give you flexibility that most waterfront properties cannot. The primary bedroom sits on the main floor with a walk-in closet and spa-like ensuite.

The real shift happens when you move outside. Motorized sliding glass doors open to a screened porch that extends the living season year-round in Central Texas. Beyond it, a heated pool and spa occupy the rear yard, with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and gas grill positioned for entertaining. This is not a token water view. The property faces directly onto Lake Austin, capturing Hill Country views and the acoustic calm that only deepwater can provide. The lot's mature trees and private maintained road within McCormick Ranch create a buffer of natural quiet you will not find in urban subdivisions.

Smart home integration controls lighting, climate, audio, and security from anywhere. A five-car garage with a vehicle lift handles the practical details. The location sits minutes from the UT Golf Club, Steiner Ranch dining and recreation, and Lake Austin's boat launch at Zilker Park.

At $2.9 million (approximately $496 per square foot), this property in the Leander ISD school district represents the specific kind of waterfront estate that rarely comes available in the Austin market. The combination of privacy, scale, and direct lake access creates a lifestyle that most buyers can only imagine.

Steiner Ranch is a 4,600-acre master-planned community in 78732, built along the bluffs above Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Median home price $800K. Leander ISD schools (Laura Bush Elementary, Canyon Ridge Middle, Vandegrift High), three resort-style community pools, 20+ miles of trails, and private Lake Austin access via the Lake Club.

Around 6,500 homes across multiple sections, built from the late 1990s through today. Housing ranges from $500K townhomes to $2M+ estates backing to the UT Golf Club (Roy Bechtol championship course, 7,412 yards). The community is fully built out in most sections, with limited new construction remaining.

Daily life revolves around being outside. Trail runners hit J Canyon and Powerline Hill loops before work. The Lake Club gives residents private boat launch access with eleven day-use docks on Lake Austin. Lake Travis is five minutes from the community entrance. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse — panoramic lake views, live music seven nights a week — is the social center.

What makes Steiner Ranch the value play for lake-adjacent living: resort-level amenities at a fraction of Lake Austin waterfront pricing, strong schools, and a community infrastructure (pools, trails, golf, lake access) that most master-planned developments can't match. The tradeoff is the 620 commute — 25-35 minutes to downtown depending on traffic.
