Spicewood hosts rustic homes close to Lake Travis Parks
The rural enclave of Spicewood is situated on miles of rugged plains in the Texas Hill Country and is about an hour’s drive from Austin. Locals live close to several expansive natural parks along the Colorado River. Several small businesses line State Highway 71, while nearby cities like Marble Falls offer more options for shopping or dining. “It's got lots of elbow room, so it’s more for people who don’t care for that master planned community feel,” say Jacquelyn and Daniel Foreman, brokers with Foreman Property Group, with over 25 years of real estate experience between them. “It’s got areas that are a bit more affordable than nearby cities, plus it’s got a lower property tax rate.”

Wide ranging home styles in subdivisions and golf communities
Spicewood offers a diverse range of home styles and subdivisions, so the community suits a wide variety of lifestyles. There are modest ramblers, cottages and cabins, as well as larger Craftsman and rustic Contemporary-style estates, which can feature multi-acre lots and lake frontage. There are also several high-end golf communities, such as the Travis Club. “The Travis Club has a golf course and Hill Country views; it's also got waterfront options,” says Foreman. “It's going to be a super-high luxury area when it’s fully built.” Single-family homes are priced from $300,000 to $5 million, varying by square footage, lot size and subdivision. Undeveloped multi-acre lots of land are also on the market, ranging in price from $1 million to $10 million. Potential homebuyers need to be aware that there is a moderate flood risk for homes close to Lake Travis and the Colorado River.

Austin is an hour away
Due to the limited public transit options, residents in Spicewood are largely reliant on car travel. Austin is 35 miles away along State Highway 71; commuters can reach the capital city in about an hour. Locals can catch flights from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, which is a 40-mile drive. The nearest hospital is Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Marble Falls, which is 10 miles west of Spicewood. “It’s usually more local workers around Spicewood,” says Foreman. “Most of them don’t want to go quite that far; they're usually working from home or not taking jobs that travel too far.”
Austin, the "Live Music Capital of the World," is one hour from Spicewood.
