5 Texas Coastal, Acreage, and Hill Country Luxury Retreats

By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Homes shaped around gathering, recreation, and time outdoors. Water and views set the tone, from Point Tesoro’s island access near the Intracoastal Waterway to Lake LBJ vistas in Horseshoe Bay and sweeping panoramas in Burnet’s gated Eagles Nest. Flexibility runs through the mix, whether it is multilevel living areas in Austin’s Avery Ranch or guest-ready spaces paired with energy resilience. Even Jarrell’s 18.497-acre homestead leans into hosting with room to roam and a 30’x40’ workshop.

Along the water’s edge in the sought-after Point Tesoro Subdivision, this coastal retreat leans into island living—minutes by boat to the Intracoastal Waterway and by golf cart to the beach. Inside, three living areas create room to spread out, including one with solid White Oak built-ins and four XL twin beds. Completely demoed to the studs and remodeled in 2022, the interiors pair a chef-inspired kitchen with a natural White Oak staircase and White Oak accents throughout, plus an upstairs wet bar with icemaker and fridge. A whole-home water filter and softener adds everyday ease. Outdoors, an incredible deck built in 2024 is designed for life on the water: an outdoor kitchen, WeardeckPVC decking, natural gas fire pit, outdoor shower, Killerdock fish station, and a boat lift built for your BIG boat—high enough for July 4th fireworks views. Driveway parking for 6 and a two-car garage with EV charger round it out.
