Spanish-inspired architecture meets Texas Hill Country living on a 5-acre estate in Spicewood’s gated Paleface Ranch. Set back from the road beneath mature oaks and cedar elms, this 3,954 sq ft custom home offers 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. A true horse property, the gently sloping land is suitable for a barn, riding arena, or pool. A concrete barrel tile roof along with a stucco and Oklahoma sandstone exterior give enduring character. Spray foam insulation, Low-E double-paned windows, and dual HVAC systems enhance efficiency. Inside, natural slate floors anchor bright, open interiors, where white walls and abundant windows frame the sunlit landscape. A formal dining room and office complement a spacious kitchen with quartzite countertops, hickory cabinets, a large island, stainless appliances, and an induction/convection range. The primary suite looks out on pink and gold sunrises over the treetops and features a double shower, garden tub, and walk-in closet. Upstairs, views reach for miles from a large second living room that works as a game or media room. A climate-controlled attic with shelving provides generous storage. The home is oriented so a constant Hill Country breeze sweeps across the deep covered patio wrapping the back of the house, perfect for outdoor dining and quiet afternoons. Sprawling shade trees, irrigated zoysia lawns, a dedicated sports field, and a Gaga ball pit invite play and relaxation. In the spring, bluebonnets and native wildflowers blanket the property, while deer and songbirds bring the grounds to life year-round. The 3-car garage has new doors, a 220V hookup, and attic storage. A private well with 2,500-gallon storage tank and softener, neighborhood boat ramp access to the Pedernales River, and a low tax rate add everyday practicality. Located in Lake Travis ISD with the new Highland Lakes High School coming soon nearby. Here, days begin with sunrise filtering through the oaks and end beneath a starlit dark sky.
