Chateau Blanc

A rare union of elevation, water, and timeless design in guard-gated Rob Roy. Perched high above Lake Austin and stretching all the way to the shoreline, Chateau Blanc offers both a completely unobstructed, panoramic view and true waterfront living—an almost unheard-of pairing in this community. The shoreline is yours, with the possibility to add a private tram and boat dock and create a fully realized lake experience.

The arrival sets the tone. A private front courtyard wrapped in vibrant bougainvillea, bottle brushes, and a sculptural fountain creates a lush, welcoming moment that feels more like a secluded villa than a city estate. The landscaping throughout the property is extraordinary, giving the home a sense of calm, privacy, and color from the first step inside the gates.

Custom-built by Greg Hurd and designed by architect Charles Travis, the residence spans more than 8,000 square feet and reflects remarkable craftsmanship. A breathtaking great room anchors the home with soaring 25-foot ceilings, graceful arches, and expansive windows that frame the lake in every direction. Natural light moves beautifully through the interiors, enhancing a layout that includes two dedicated offices, a private gym, a media room, and a large flexible space that can continue to be customized to fit future needs. A three-car garage completes the thoughtful design.

The primary suite is exquisite—anchored by its own fireplace, a private walkout to the pool, and a massive marble bathroom with dual closets. It’s positioned perfectly for morning light over the lake and seamless access to the home’s outdoor living.

Just beyond the main living spaces, an extraordinary outdoor pavilion extends the architecture outward—a true year-round living room framed by arches and oriented entirely toward the view. Complete with a full kitchen, bath, fireplace, and drop-down shades, it overlooks the pool and terraces with complete privacy, creating a resort-level experience suspended above the water. Below, a large flat yard adds another rare amenity for a lot with this kind of elevation.

This property offers what very few can: the drama of elevation, the serenity of the lake, and the opportunity to shape the waterfront into something exceptional. A place where architecture, landscape, and possibility converge.

Chateau Blanc stands as one of the most compelling offerings in West Austin—a home where the view, the water, the design, and the setting all meet in one extraordinary moment.
