A $5.35 Million Modern Farmhouse Offers a Multi-Generational Paradise on Lake Austin

In the last few years, the modern farmhouse has become ubiquitous in the luxury new construction world. There's little mystery why homeowners have been drawn to the architectural style. It offers them the best of both worlds: the rustic laidback charm of a traditional farmhouse combined with sleek, envy-inducing interiors filled with the comforts of 21st-century living. That's the magic of this newly listed Austin, Texas gem – with some added perks to sweeten the deal. 

Completed in 2020, the exceptional lakefront property lives like "two residences in one" nestled along the shimmering shores of Lake Austin. Listing agents Ellen Burns and Shad Pellizzari of Coldwell Banker Realty call it a "stunning property with an unparalleled lakeside experience and unlimited potential, whether you want to use it as a single-family residence, multi-generational living, Airbnb or long-term rental."  

Spanning nearly half an acre with 80 feet of coveted waterfront access, the property impresses with its sheer scale and versatility. The main residence unfolds across 5,400 square feet with towering ceilings, designer finishes and a fresh open-concept design framing breathtaking panoramas of the Hill Country and lake. An expansive deck opens via 21-foot panoramic slide and pivot glass doors, and descend to the tiered backyard towards the private boat dock – complete with slips for both boats and jet skis. There are a total of six total bedrooms, including a lavish primary suite and a fully equipped mother-in-law suite, seamlessly integrated into the main structure with its own entrance, kitchen, living area, and outdoor space provides a private haven for extended family or guests.

Every detail has been carefully curated with a designer's eye for how a modern buyer would want to live and entertain on a lake. Extra touches include golf cart access to the lake, a convenient butler's pantry in the kitchen, laundry facilities on all three levels, a Ring Doorbell security system, multiple AC units, tankless water heaters, and a spacious four-car tandem garage with overhead storage. A thoughtfully positioned lower-level patio with retractable screens lends an indoor-outdoor feel. The mud hall has built-in lockers for added convenience when coming and going from the lake. The builers clearly thought of everything – "even the pre-stacked storage closets hint at the potential for a future elevator installation," says Burns. 

Life on Lake Austin is a constant invitation to unwind as it maintains a consistent water level, "guaranteeing year-round enjoyment of your very own aquatic paradise," adds Pellizzari. 

Whether you envision a multigenerational retreat, a thriving Airbnb venture, or a sound investment opportunity, this lakeside sanctuary offers endless possibilities for tranquility, connection, and unparalleled natural beauty.
