Property of the week: The Canyon Club, Lake Travis, Texas

A sprawling and idyllic new development, right on the Texan waterfront

The latest collection of 25 single family luxury homes spread across 60 acres fronting the shores of Lake Travis, The Canyon Club is combination of lakeside living meets Hill Country meets Wine Country (all while being just 45 minutes from downtown Austin).

A stylish mix of traditional properties and pioneering, 3-D printed ICON homes, The Canyon Club neatly aligns with its natural backdrop and each property has been placed with stunning views in mind, catering to those who prefer to wake up to the water, or the mountains. The collection's unique design ethos embodies southern hospitality, with each home built for 'multi-generational connection' - with large layouts and more than ample space allowing for 'Texas-style hospitality, where all come together to welcome families and friends.'

Away from the individual properties, the Club has an amazing array of amenities which really make the resort community stand out. Homes on the lake can enjoy private beaches and boat slips for lake access, with the water offering a nautical myriad of activities from boating, jet-skiing, paddle boarding, wakeboard, water-skiing and more.

Beyond Lake Travis there is Krause Springs and Hamilton Pool Preserve (think idyllic plunge pools and picturesque waterfalls), Then you have the Pedernales and Colorado Rivers nearby, both of which make exceptional hotspots for kayaking and fishing.

The extreme sports enthusiasts will be enticed by the locality to several of Texas' finest natural parks (renowned for biking at ATVs), and those who prefer a slower pace (and maybe a glass of wine or two, or three) can explore over 100 vineyards in the surrounding area.

Those who prefer to stay closer to home tend to utilise The Canyon Club Clubhouse, boasting an infinity edge pool, adults-only spa pool, luxury spa and fitness centre right on the doorstep. And the sportmen can work up a sweat on 15-hole golf course, pickleball, basketball and tennis courts.

The Canyon Club also offers a concierge model - making life for residents as seamless as possible and offering services from setting up your home before arrival, to dailyhousekeeping and groceries.

For those looking to buy, there are rare tax advantages for early buyers, as well as a vacation rental program for looking for extra income whilst their property is not in use.

With Texas and Austin taking off culturally, The Canyon Club seems like an incredible project that is channeling all the zeitgeists of modern hospitality.
