Positioned along a coveted stretch of Lake Travis shoreline beneath a canopy of towering heritage oaks, 16714 Forest Way evokes the timeless character of an Italian lakeside villa thoughtfully reimagined for refined Texas waterfront living. Set behind gates on an expansive flat waterfront homesite with panoramic Hill Country and sunset views, the estate represents a rare convergence of architectural presence, usable land, privacy, and resort-style recreation seldom found on Lake Travis.

Fully renovated in 2024, the three-level residence was designed to embrace both the surrounding landscape and the waterfront setting, with lake views unfolding from nearly every major living space. Old World architectural influences including a stone façade, Spanish tile roof, peaceful central courtyard with fountain, and expansive covered terraces are balanced by sophisticated contemporary interiors featuring light oak flooring, oversized fenestration, motorized shades, and abundant natural light throughout.

The home’s primary gathering spaces unfold with a seamless connection between indoors and out, creating an atmosphere equally suited for intimate family living and large-scale entertaining. At the center of the residence, the chef’s kitchen is appointed with a Wolf six-burner range with griddle and dual ovens, built-in refrigeration, oversized island, walk-in pantry, and dedicated wine storage. Adjacent living and dining spaces open effortlessly to covered terraces complete with a summer kitchen and outdoor fireplace overlooking the manicured grounds and shimmering waters of Lake Travis beyond.

Occupying the entire upper level, the primary retreat functions as a private sanctuary with elevated lake views, spa-inspired bath, expansive wardrobe room, private office, and dedicated fitness or flex space. Generous secondary suites, a private guest casita, and an entertainment-focused lower level complete with full bar, media lounge, recreation area, and additional guest accommodations provide exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living and hosting.

The grounds rival those of a private waterfront resort. Rare for Lake Travis, the property offers expansive flat usable lawns shaded by mature trees with ample space for a future resort-style pool and multiple outdoor gathering areas designed to maximize the waterfront lifestyle. At the shoreline, a dedicated lakeside pavilion with wet bar, fireplace, covered terrace, and half bath creates a remarkable setting for lakeside entertaining.

For boating enthusiasts, the estate is exceptionally equipped with a private boat ramp, floating two-slip dock, jet ski lifts, storage, and elevated sun deck positioned to capture unforgettable sunsets over Lake Travis.

A rare offering where timeless architecture, luxury recreation, and the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country converge into one extraordinary waterfront estate designed to be enjoyed for generations.
