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

Poised on a rare, privately held stretch of Lake Travis shoreline, The Canyon Club captures the quiet grandeur of Texas Hill Country through thoughtful design and expansive scale. This boutique-scale community of just 25 residences across 60 acres pairs space, seclusion, and sophistication in one of the state’s most coveted landscapes.

Designed by Mark Richardson Architects (formerly Shiflet Richardson) with interiors by KEMPT Studio, each traditional home fuses timeless Hill Country design with a forward-thinking edge – natural stone, timber, and glass balanced by generous proportions and sweeping lake or canyon views. The Terra Home, spanning nearly 5,800 square feet, embodies that ethos: a six-bedroom retreat crafted for multi-generational connection, where gatherings spill from living room to terrace and evenings stretch long beside the fire.

Away from the individual properties, the Club has an impressive array of amenities which really make the resort community stand out. Owners can enjoy 2,000 ft of private shoreline 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 lie Krause Springs and Hamilton Pool Preserve – idyllic plunge pools and cascading waterfalls straight out of a postcard. Nearby, the Pedernales and Colorado Rivers offer pristine stretches for kayaking and fishing.

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) can explore over 100 vineyards in the surrounding area.

Those who prefer to stay closer to home can unwind in the private day spa, complete with a cold plunge, sauna, and meditation spaces. For those looking to break a sweat, the fitness center and miles of walking and jogging trails offer plenty of ways to move. Rounding out the amenities are a golf facility, plus basketball, pickleball, and other sports offerings.

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 daily housekeeping and groceries.

Despite its tucked-away setting, The Canyon Club lies only 45 minutes from downtown Austin and under an hour from the airport – close enough for convenience, yet a world apart in pace and privacy.

For early buyers, the opportunity extends beyond lifestyle. Those who contract this year can take advantage of a unique tax write-off program, turning a weekend retreat into a strategically structured investment.

With pricing from $2.8 million, The Canyon Club captures the essence of modern Texas: raw beauty refined by design, built to be enjoyed now and passed down for generations to come.
