A Newly Renovated Hill Country Sanctuary with Lake Austin Access and Iconic Views

Welcome to The Rockcliff Estate—a newly renovated, design-forward private compound where timeless architecture meets modern luxury across 3.3± acres in the heart of Westlake. Conceived by renowned architect Luis Jauregui, this exceptional estate has been thoughtfully reimagined with sophisticated, contemporary updates, offering a rare balance of Old World craftsmanship and elevated, turnkey living—complete with coveted access to Lake Austin.

From the moment you arrive, a sense of quiet prestige unfolds. A dramatic serpentine stone wall and gated entrance—along with a secondary service entry gate for guests, staff, or overflow parking—reveal lush, manicured grounds designed for both privacy and presence. The property spans six combined lots and tracts of land, creating a true estate setting with a flat front yard and gently sloping rear terrain that blends seamlessly into the surrounding Hill Country.

Just beyond, across Rockcliff Road, awaits one of the estate’s most extraordinary features—approximately 330± feet of combined private, deeded Lake Austin shoreline. Mornings begin with paddleboarding at sunrise, afternoons drift into kayaking along the shoreline, and evenings invite effortless boating from your own access point. Nature trails wind through the property, where abundant wildlife enhances the sense of tranquility and connection to the land.

Inside, the home has been meticulously updated to reflect today’s most desirable finishes while honoring its architectural roots. Soaring 26-foot ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and a sweeping spiral staircase create a breathtaking sense of scale. Newly refreshed interiors introduce a lighter, more modern palette, complemented by hand-laid Texas stone, Luders limestone detailing across the driveway and patios, warm travertine, and both traditional longleaf pine and rare “sinker” longleaf pine flooring. Natural light pours into every space, highlighting curated designer elements throughout.

The main-level primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a private sitting area, fireplace, and coffee bar. The spa-caliber bath showcases custom travertine finishes, an oversized walk-in shower, freestanding soaking tub, and an expansive dressing closet with bespoke built-ins—creating a true sanctuary of comfort and sophistication.

At the heart of the home, the fully remodeled chef’s kitchen has been transformed with modern luxury in mind. Taj Mahal Perla Venata quartzite countertops, designer lighting, an oversized island, and top-tier appliances—including dual 48" SubZero refrigerators, a SubZero wine cabinet, and a Wolf drawer microwave—anchor the space. An expansive butler’s pantry with new appliances enhances both functionality and flow, making the home equally suited for grand entertaining or intimate gatherings. The adjoining family room, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and a statement stone fireplace, offers warmth and connection.

Designed for expansive living, the estate includes four additional en-suite bedrooms, a dedicated home gym, and an oversized four-car garage equipped with a 50-amp EV power outlet. Comfort and efficiency are elevated with newly installed Lennox dual-fuel HVAC systems and the option for a separate water treatment enhancement system.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. Two sprawling covered patios overlook a resort-style setting complete with a heated pool, spa, stream, and waterfall features. A newly constructed, oversized lighted pickleball court offers recreation day or night, while panoramic views stretch across the Hill Country to the iconic Pennybacker Bridge in the distance.

Adding to the estate’s charm is the guest cabin affectionately known as “Huck’s Cabin,” evoking the spirit of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Nestled beside a tranquil pond, it provides a storybook escape surrounded by native flora and fauna.

Even more rare, the estate’s waterfront component includes an additional 270± feet of shoreline and a fully permitted cabin site for a 2,212± square foot residence with an in-ground pool. This creates an extraordinary opportunity to build a bespoke guest retreat or expand into a true legacy compound—further enhanced by the option to acquire the adjacent waterfront property at 1810 Rockcliff.

Imagine mornings greeted by still water and golden light, afternoons spent entertaining beneath wide Texas skies, and evenings unfolding by firelight—all just minutes from the energy of Austin.

This is more than a home—it is a newly revitalized lifestyle of privacy, beauty, and intention.
