Apache Shores House | Private Pool + Hot Tub + Fire Pit + Ping Pong | Hilltop Lake Views | Barton

3 Bedroom House in Apache Shores, Austin

From its hilltop perch, Barton takes in the kind of view Texas Hill Country is famous for: a quiet lake fed by the Colorado River below, and hills stacking toward the horizon in every direction. The house is built to make the most of it. Rooms stay open and bright, light moves through all day, and the balcony puts the whole panorama at eye level with your morning coffee.
Out back is where the days go. The private pool eases out to a baja shelf, that shallow, sun-warmed ledge where you sit half in the water with no plans worth keeping, and the hot tub waits for whenever the afternoon winds down. Dinner happens outside more often than not: the full outdoor kitchen and built-in grill make it easy, and the hills make it worth eating slowly. Once the light fades, the fire pit pulls everyone in, and the night tends to stretch.
Inside, the chef's kitchen is ready for whatever the group throws at it, from unhurried weekend breakfasts to a proper feed for everyone at once, with space to keep talking long after the last plate. The living area is wired for game day, and when the afternoon needs filling, the ping pong table settles it.
The lake below belongs to the Highland Lakes chain, the string of Colorado River lakes west of Austin, and Lake Travis is its centerpiece: clear coves for a paddle, lakeside parks for a swim, and golf courses folded into the surrounding hills. Spend the day however the water suggests, then trade it for the city when the mood shifts. Downtown Austin is an easy drive, with Sixth Street's live music, barbecue worth standing in line for, and the storefronts along South Congress and Music Lane. Barton sits close to all of it and apart from all of it, which is exactly the point.

There are so many reasons to love Austin and its incredible barbecue is just one. The live music capital of the world, Austin has a thriving art scene and a party culture to match. Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks. Spend your days on the lake’s crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to “keep Austin weird”, which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.
