Pool + Hot Tub + Fire Pit + Ping Pong | Austin Hill Country | Barton

Set on a hilltop above a small lake just off the Colorado River, Barton is the kind of place where the calendar stays mostly empty on purpose. The water sits below, the hills roll out past it, and the noise of everything else feels a good deal farther away than it actually is.

Days here center on the backyard. The pool runs out to a baja shelf, the shallow ledge where you can stretch out half-submerged with the sun on you and nowhere to be, and the hot tub sits close by for the hours after. A built-in outdoor grill handles dinner, and once the light goes, everyone drifts toward the fire pit with blankets and stays longer than planned.

Under cover off the living room, the patio does double duty: a ping pong table for the competitive stretch of the afternoon, and a TV for game day. It's the spot that keeps the group together when the weather turns or the sun gets serious, with the doors open to the rest of the house.

Its crown jewel, Lake Travis, is lined with lively bars, restaurants, golf, and parks.
