Welcome to The ABOVE SAPPHIRE ESTATE ON LAKE AUSTIN

*Email us, we will respond immediately*

*** All bookings with ABOVE must be pre-approved before they are considered confirmed. The ease of “click to book” with our travel partners should be viewed as “click to request.” Only through proper vetting can we insure the homeowner’s needs, and our guest’s expectations are in sync before we can confirm any reservation. ***

Guests trusting ABOVE for their luxury travel learn that the unexpected, is our standard. Most within our collection of estates are our homeowner’s primary residences- contrary to an industry filled of those contrived, and sparsely appointed investment rental properties. Our luxury properties immerse guests in the finest of amenities and finishes, while giving visitors the true sense of living like a local.


A line of brightly colored Adirondack chairs on the beach marks the spot at this 9,000-square-foot modern estate on the shores of Lake Austin. A 6-bedroom main house and separate lakefront boathouse offer plenty of space to play, and there are plenty of playful touches to discover. Drive 11 miles to downtown or boat to a restaurant for dinner out.

The home's expansive grounds include everything from an infinity pool, hot tub, kitchen with barbecue, and bar to a private beach, firepit, and volleyball net. Dunk the basketball (and yourself) in the hoop just off the beach or nestle into the hammock for an afternoon nap. If you’ve spent all day exploring the city or driving shots on the golf course, cozy up to the streaming TVs, gas fireplace, and Wi-Fi in the evenings.
This vacation rental stretches along the shoreline for lake views from nearly every room. Wall-to-wall glass fronts the formal dining room, and rows of French doors line the formal living room and an open-concept great room with a sitting area and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar.

Value is in the details. When you chose to travel with ABOVE, your stay will always include a personal concierge ready to pre-book the best experiences to make our destinations come alive. At check-in, you will be introduced to your personal House Manager, who is carefully selected and overly trained in the art of service. Our House Managers visit daily, and are available 24/7 in the hope to exceed anything you had expected.

Everything that touches you has been meticulously selected by ABOVE. Utopia Linens, Chakir Turkish Towels, L'Occitane bath amenities, and more have been carefully selected to engulf guests in luxury. Our mission is to provide unforgettable service, wrapped within the luxury of a custom estate, curating a once in a lifetime experience.
COVID-19 Enhanced Safety/Cleaning: In addition to our already rigorous cleaning procedures, we have implemented a robust checklist using CDC/VRMA disinfecting protocols, noting increased attention to heavily trafficked areas and high touched surfaces.

DISCLAIMER: Room configurations, bedding, decor and all other contents depicted in the photos may have changed since photographed.

IMPORTANT: Our properties will not be rented to any group/event that may disrupt the serene neighborhood.
