Spanish Oaks
T
he best of private golf communities offer an inviting escape from the outside world. But the very best of these idyllic hideaways also offer one more very important attribute: convenient access to the excitement and activities beyond its gates. Nowhere does all that come together so perfectly than at Spanish Oaks, just minutes from downtown Austin. Thoughtfully sculpted out of the Texas Hill Country, the community lies on acres of unspoiled beauty neighboring thousands of acres of natural preserve land. Behind its private, 24/7-staffed gates, residents enjoy the ultimate in tranquility and luxury. Yet within 20 minutes they can be in the midst of Austin’s bustling music, arts, restaurant, and shopping scene. Then there is the extraordinary Spanish Oaks Golf Course, designed by Bobby Weed. Lauded by Golf Digest as one of the top courses in Texas, the layout makes masterful use of the rugged Texas Hill Country. The routing tumbles over the unique “step-riser” topography and weaves around ancient Spanish and live oaks.
38 | LuxuryHomeMagazine.com
Comfort stations along the way serve a variety of treats and the Taqueria at the halfway point serves freshly made tacos and sliders. This year, Golfweek ranked Spanish Oaks among the best residential courses in the U.S. Though the excitement of Austin offers is close at hand, residents never lack for activities within their community. The lifestyle is designed to encourage families to get outside and enjoy the spectacular surroundings. Acres of natural habitat can be explored on miles of hiking and biking trails. A private fish camp on property includes a rustic bait shop, fishing dock, and well-stocked 4.5-acre lake. The expansive Pool Pavilion next to the tri-level pool features a sport court, sand volleyball pit, and sandy beach for small children. While the lifestyle here is assuredly family friendly, members can always enjoy a quiet dinner at The Club while Spanish Oaks’ “kid wranglers” entertain the little ones with games and activities. Homeowners can choose the view that inspires them, whether it’s the golf course, the Hill Country, or lush preserve land. Homes in
Spanish Oaks range from $1 million to $5 million. Exceptional homesites are also available, ranging from half an acre to more than four and a half acres and priced from $300,000 to $1.1 million. Home buyers who prefer the minimal maintenance of a villa will find a number of options as well. Our villas are built to the same luxurious standards you’ll find in our estate homes, and prices start at $675,000. Unspoiled, unexpected, unprecedented, Spanish Oaks offers a lifestyle of understated elegance with an enviable blend of tranquility and activity set in the splendor of the Texas Hill Country.
