Property Overview

Perched on 12 acres of pristine Lake Travis shoreline, 16106 Chateau Ave presents an architectural masterpiece where Mediterranean Revival design meets commanding waterfront vistas. This 9,530-square-foot, six-bedroom estate captures the timeless elegance of Spanish Colonial Revival through thoughtfully imported elements—including reclaimed stained glass windows sourced from a historic church—and distinctive arched doorways that frame views from nearly every room. Seven view patios showcase the property's most coveted asset: panoramic north-facing perspectives spanning from Lakeway across Arkansas Bend, with a gentle cart path and stepped descent leading to the private two-slip boat dock below.

Architect-builder David Minter's meticulous craftsmanship is evident throughout the generously proportioned living spaces, where soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create an environment equally suited to intimate gatherings or entertaining at scale. The home's recent renovation honors its 1994 foundation while elevating the estate's already exceptional quality. Located in Austin, TX's most exclusive lakefront community, this property represents the rare convergence of architectural significance, natural beauty, and sophisticated waterfront living.
