I’ve driven past the gated enclave on Mary Nell Lane in Spicewood more times than I can count, but this modern masterpiece at 22701 finally stopped me in my tracks. It’s the kind of house that blends the raw edges of Hill Country with lakefront luxury in a way that feels totally effortless. At $6.3 million, it's the priciest home on the market here right now—and for good reason.
1. Lakeside Stone and Steel That’s Built to Impress
Bright white stucco walls meet a bold, dark standing-seam metal roof — think of it like that stunning contrast between light and shadow you see on Lake Travis at sunset. The look is softened by mature oak trees and lush native landscaping, making the house feel part of the rolling Texas hillside rather than perched on it. That mix of clean modern lines with natural touches is exactly what sets this home apart before you even step through the front door.
2. Desert-Inspired Entry That Marries Wood and Stone
Walk up the herringbone stone pathway and you’re met with warm wood beams, black-framed glass doors, and oversized agaves resting in oxidized copper planters. The earth tones in the desert flora pop against the creamy stone cladding, giving off that unexpected yet inviting Southwest feel. It’s an entrance that effortlessly says, “This is high design, but still welcoming.” Perfect for those laid-back evenings by the lake or guests arriving for the weekend.
3. Living Room Vibes That Speak Navy and Calm
Inside, creamy tones dominate with a gorgeously plush sectional, but two velvet navy armchairs steal the show. They ground the space with a touch of coastal calm, mirroring the glimmering water just beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. Gray stone walls and subtle textures keep interest alive without stealing attention from those lake views. If lakefront living had a color palette, this would be it: serene, warm, and quietly luxe.
4. Kitchen Glam: Gray Marble Meets Gold Sparkle
If the living room is serene, the kitchen brings the glam. A huge waterfall island topped with veined white marble is surrounded by moody gray cabinets that feel so sleek. And then there’s that gold starburst chandelier catching the eye immediately—adding just the right flash of drama. Transparent acrylic bar stools with gold legs make the scene feel light and open, meaning the kitchen is as stylish as it is functional.

5. Dining Done Right With Warm Wood and Crystal
Picture a long light oak table bathed in soft glow from a cascading crystal chandelier. Creamy chairs with polished wood backs echo the tabletop’s honey hues, while a jet-black marble column with white streaks adds an unexpected boldness next to the brushed stainless steel bar. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls spill daylight into this space, blending indoors and outdoors seamlessly. It’s a dining room designed for slow, elegant meals and long evenings savored at lake-level.
6. Bedroom Drama in Silver and Soft Gray
The bedroom doesn't shy away from sparkle—a silver sequin wall glimmers behind the bed, playing with the light from bedside lamps. This bold choice is balanced with gentle grays and plush whites that keep things cozy rather than overwhelming. The mirrored bed frame and floating nightstands add reflective touches that make the room feel expansive and angular. Floor-to-ceiling drapes open to a patio, making mornings here feel fresh and effortlessly luxe.
7. Bathroom Bliss With Marble and a Vessel Tub
The bathroom is a study in contrasts: a sculptural freestanding vessel tub against a wall of rich, veined gray marble that commands attention, framed perfectly by crisp white tiles. The crystal chandelier above adds just the right hint of glamour, while warm wood and a soft upholstered chair bring welcome warmth to the spacious room. It’s the kind of sanctuary where you linger, letting the rhythms of water and stone slow down the world.
The Bottom Line
Records in real estate melt away fast, especially in a place as magnetic as Spicewood. This modern Lake Travis home isn’t just setting a price record—it’s defining a vibe: natural elegance meeting thoughtful luxury. Keep an eye here—there’s always something new and bold on the horizon.
