This year, our real estate market has made headlines for cooling off, and rents are decreasing while they continue rising across the rest of the nation. Even so, plenty of extravagant and expensive homes are hitting the market, and they are both dazzling and dizzying when you see how they look and how much they cost. Even as the Austin area sees affordability creep back into focus, there’s still a decadent multi-million dollar housing stock to fantasize over.
For those lucky enough to be on budget with a purchase like these lavish Austin homes, could we come over to use the pool in the summer?

The Sanctuary at Barton Creek | $15,200,000
The Sanctuary at Barton Creek, Austin, TX 78738
7 Bedrooms, 5.5 Bathrooms, 7,931 Sq Ft.
Plenty of developments promise resort-style living, but only some can deliver in the way The Sanctuary at Barton Creek can. Under a canopy of live oaks and with direct access to 200 feet of grassy shoreline along the beloved Barton Creek, there’s an unparalleled connection to the natural beauty of Hill Country. The custom-tiered pool offers even more water access, while the lavish Austin home features warm wood accents to bring even more nature indoors. The second-floor covered balcony and large windows provide a view of the green sea of trees stretching out into the horizon to capitalize on this residence’s unique sense of sanctuary.

13330 Shore Vista Drive | $16,960,000
13330 Shore Vista Drive, Austin, TX 78732
5 Bedrooms, 5.5 Bathrooms. 8,223 sq ft.
Dreamed up by Ryan Street Architects, 13330 Shore Vista Drive is a lakeside fantasy come to life. With all three floors connected by a winding spiral staircase, this European-inspired design has a thoughtful touch of a fairytale, with old-world details like the century-old timber, Jerusalem stone and over 11 antique doors. Even the primary suite is aligned north-south to help attract better sleep. Every square foot was built to be the dream home come true.

2509 Tarryhill Place | Price upon Request
2509 Tarryhill Place, Austin, Texas, 78703
6 Bedrooms, 7 Bathrooms, 3 Partial Bathrooms. 10,017 sq ft.
2509 Tarryhill Place comes with an air of exclusivity of the “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” quality and delivers on that expectation of being worth it. Despite only being built as early as 2009, it wouldn’t be surprising if anyone visiting thought they entered another charmingly lavish Austin home. Tucked inside one of the only gated streets in the neighborhood, there is a sense of privacy despite being a short drive from downtown. The home evokes a Spanish-Revival vernacular with a looming archway over the driveway, and inside, rich detailing like the reclaimed wood accents and Venetian plaster walls complete the sense of warmth found in older homes. Tall fireplaces and vaulted ceilings evoke a sense of status while instilling a coziness in the tighter layout that forgoes the modern open floor plan for a return to tradition in intentional spaces. It’s practically priceless in terms of built beauty offered inside, even if the cost is likely priced more than anyone typically could afford.

3808 Balcones Drive | $19,950,000
3808 Balcones Drive Austin, TX, 78731
6 Bedrooms, 9 Bathrooms, 2 Partial Bathrooms. 13,500 Sq Ft
Expected to be completed by Spring 2025, 3808 Blacones Drive is a rare opportunity to collaborate with a celebrated architect like Hugh Randolph and work together to build out this inspired home vision. The facade feels like a 20th-century Hollywood Regency-era home, but inside, it’s utterly 21st-century with timeless details. The stylistic choices made, like the soft curving walls leading into the living room or the oval windows in the study, all add to a sense of a classical school of design but done with a light enough touch to feel modern at the same time. No room is left without a hint of charm, as even the gym shares more design language with a chic storefront than a space to get sweaty. Outside, the pool and gardens complete the Tinseltown in Texas touches, making the home a future star along the lakeshore.
