What was once a town of 100 people in a rural area has blossomed into one of Austin’s burgeoning suburbs. Though definitely not suburban in the track home, strip mall sense of the word, Spicewood is attracting buyers looking for a true Texas Hill Country feel but also wants water. Meandering around the coves and deep water of Lake Travis, residents don’t have to travel far to be on the lake. At the same time, Downtown Austin is only 45 minutes away and Marble Falls is only 20 minutes, so even though you get that “far outside of town” feel, you are not really that far. Much of the development in Spicewood is along the banks of Lake Travis. You often drive through ranch land to get to a master planned community, which can be an adjustment for some, while others love the Texas feel it gives.

Things to Do Near Spicewood
Spicewood is home to one of Austin’s best kept secrets – Krause Springs. With 115 acres of nature activities like swimming, camping, hiking and exploring, it is perfect for someone who loves the outdoors. And with both tent and RV camping sites (with water and electricity), you can spend the entire weekend there. Though Hamilton Pool and Barton Springs are more well known, Krause Springs is definitely the more picturesque swimming hole. So much so that most locals want to keep it to themselves and tell visitors to check out Hamilton Pool instead. For another fun activity, local coffee roaster Cuvee Coffee hosts tours and tastings periodically. If you’ve gotten coffee out around Austin, chances are it is from Cuvee and it is fantastic.
