While ranch living might not immediately conjure images of lavish rooms and high-end features, this Texas property offers horse enthusiasts an elevated version of equestrian living.
Close to Lake Travis, the sizable compound spans 10.6 acres — gated and fully fenced, for added privacy — and consists of a 4,744-square-foot main house, a sizable 2,658-square-foot guest house, a barn with horse stables and an apartment above.
Rightfully touted as “one of the most unique and beautiful horse properties in the Austin area”, per the listing, the property is asking $12,000,000. Dawn Lanier with Coldwell Banker Realty is representing the seller.
The property is located in Volente, Texas

The sizable estate spans 10.625 acres and is located in the resort community of Volente, on the west shore of Lake Travis in Travis County, Texas.
Thanks to its location, it enjoys panoramic views of Lake Travis and the hill country from both the first and second levels of the main home.
There are several structures on the 10.6-acre lot

The compound can accommodate several lifestyles, from a more traditional ranch one to luxury living — with ample space for a multi-generational family.
That’s because the 10.625-acre property comes with several structures, including two luxury homes (a custom-built 4,744-square-foot main home and a sizable 2,658-square-foot guest house), and quite a few equestrian facilities with additional living space.

With a custom-built main house
The main residence on the property is a custom-built, 4,744-square-foot house with numerous outdoor living areas and an oversized 4-car garage.
The house has 3 bedrooms with ensuites, including a primary bedroom on the first level, a family room open to an elegant chef’s kitchen, a great room, and more welcoming spaces, both inside and out.



And a charming secondary residence

A well-equipped barn comes with horse stables

The barn also has a 768-square-foot apartment above it
