Brahmans Draw is our gated Hill Country community in Spicewood, Texas, built for buyers who want lake and golf living without compromise. 40 homesites. 5 floor plans. Surrounded by five golf courses. Minutes from Lake Travis. Thirty miles west of downtown Austin.
Brahmans Draw is Keystone Homes' new home gated community in Spicewood, Texas, built for buyers who want Hill Country living without giving up easy access to the Austin metro. Our luxury new homes start from the $600s, with floor plans ranging from approximately 2,350 to 3,700+ square feet, three to five bedrooms, and 3.5 baths across all floor plans.
Brahmans Draw sits near gorgeous Lake Travis, surrounded by five established golf courses and endless views. We designed this upscale community for the discerning buyer, offering large floor plans, wide homesites, impressive views, and high-end finishes.
As a Texas new-home builder focused entirely on the Austin area, our 40 homesites offer home buyers design choices, materials, and a construction process that reflects what Hill Country buyers actually want, rather than a national template flattened to fit Texas.
Brahmans Draw is not a master-planned development with thousands of rooftops but a deliberately scaled, gated enclave. We offer quick-move-in homes for buyers who want to be in a Spicewood luxury home on a defined timeline. For buyers who want to start from a homesite and build, that path is open as well.
Brahmans Draw sits west of Lake Travis, in the heart of the Spicewood golf corridor. Five established Hill Country courses ring the community — here is where they sit in relation to your front door.
Brahmans Draw · 711 Paleface Ranch Rd, Spicewood, TX 78669 — a gated Hill Country golf community west of Lake Travis, with all five courses within a short drive.
Spicewood sits about just west of Austin in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Brahmans Draw takes advantage of this beautiful location. The terrain rolls. The trees are mature live oaks, cedar elms, and Texas red oaks rather than newly planted landscape stock. Long views to the Pedernales River corridor and the surrounding Hill Country are part of the daily experience, not an upgrade you pay extra for.
Lake Travis defines the broader area. The Highland Lakes chain, which includes Lake Travis, runs along this stretch of the Colorado River and provides the boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation that draws buyers to this part of Texas.
From Brahmans Draw, public and private marina access on Lake Travis is within a short drive, which puts a slip rental, a sunset cruise, or a Saturday on the water within daily reach rather than weekend-trip distance.
What makes the Spicewood version of Hill Country living distinct from Lakeway, Bee Cave, or further west toward Marble Falls is the combination of rural pace and metro access. You are 30 miles from downtown Austin and roughly 45 minutes by car. You are removed enough from the central Austin density to feel the difference, yet close to the Austin airport, medical centers, and cultural amenities.
The concentration of established golf within a short drive of Brahmans Draw is a major advantage to consider this community over comparable Hill Country addresses. Five courses sit within the immediate area, each with its own design pedigree and character. Together, they make Brahmans Draw a credible golf community for those who love the game.
Barton Creek Lakeside boasts an 18-hole Arnold Palmer-designed golf course overlooking beautiful Lake Travis. As a thank you to Brahmans Draw homebuyers, we are pleased to pay the initial social membership fee to give our homeowners access to Barton Creek Lakeside's first-class private clubhouse, dining, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, and outdoor pool amenities.
Lakecliff Country Club is a private 18-hole course designed by Arnold Palmer, opened in 2003, situated inside the gated Lakecliff community on the cliffs above Lake Travis. The course plays just over 6,700 yards from the championship tees and is one of the few Hill Country courses with bent-grass greens, a detail serious players notice. The clubhouse, dining room, and tennis facilities round out a club experience that fits the broader Brahmans Draw lifestyle.
Loraloma is the newest of the five courses. Its 18-hole cliffside course, designed by David McLay Kidd of Bandon Dunes and St. Andrews fame, opened in October 2025 and is already drawing notice as one of the most ambitious new courses in Texas. The par-72 layout stretches across 120 acres of Hill Country terrain along the Pedernales River with dramatic elevation changes. Loraloma is members-only, but its presence in the immediate area meaningfully raises Spicewood's golf profile.
Austin Golf Club is the quiet heavyweight of the group. Designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore in 2001, it is a private, member-owned club that strips away the country club extras and focuses entirely on the course itself. Crenshaw, a two-time Masters champion and Austin native, designed the par-70 layout to integrate with the natural Hill Country landscape rather than impose on it. For buyers who care about golf architecture, Austin Golf Club's reputation among design-literate players is genuine.
Pedernales Golf Club, better known as the Cut-N-Putt, is Willie Nelson's nine-hole course. Semi-private, character-rich, and unapologetically casual, it is the local that balances out the three private clubs. A Saturday round at the Cut-N-Putt is a different kind of golf afternoon than a tournament round at Austin Golf Club, and the fact that you can do both within a 20-minute drive of your front door is exactly the point.

Brahmans Draw's gated entry creates a defined neighborhood within a part of Spicewood that is otherwise rural in character, provides residents with the privacy and security the segment demands, and keeps through-traffic off interior streets. For Hill Country luxury new-construction buyers, this often brings peace of mind.
Here, lots are larger and more generous than what you find in central Austin or in the high-density Pflugerville and Round Rock corridors, with room to set the home back from the street, preserve mature trees, and frame the architecture against the terrain rather than the neighbor's roofline. We designed our architectural standards to feel cohesive without becoming repetitive, adding character and uniqueness to each homesite.
Spicewood is small, intentionally so. The town does not try to be Lakeway or Marble Falls. What it offers is a quieter slice of the Hill Country with the practical amenities buyers in this segment actually use. Krause Springs, the privately owned natural springs and campground, is one of the beloved Texas destinations and resides inside Spicewood. The Spicewood Vineyards and several other small wineries along the Highway 71 corridor anchor a low-key wine country scene. Opie's Barbecue is the kind of unrefined Hill Country institution that locals send out-of-towners.
Lake Travis is the central amenity. Marina access for residents is within a short drive at multiple locations along the lake, including Briarcliff Marina, Bob Wentz Park's boat ramps at Windy Point, and the larger marinas at Volente, Hudson Bend, and Lakeway across the water. Boat rentals, slip leases, and the surrounding lakefront restaurants make weekend lake fun practical and accessible daily. For dining, the broader Lake Travis area adds Hudson's on the Bend, The Oasis on Lake Travis, Steiner Ranch Steakhouse, and the developing scene around the Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave.
For day-to-day services, Spicewood and the surrounding area cover the basics, with grocery, medical, and retail located in Bee Cave and Lakeway, both within a 15 to 20-minute drive. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is approximately 40 to 50 minutes from Brahmans Draw, depending on traffic, which keeps Spicewood luxury homes within reasonable reach for buyers who travel frequently. The Hill Country setting is special but not isolated, setting the Spicewood Brahmans Draw experience apart.
Our model home at Brahmans Draw opens in Summer 2026. Construction is active, quick-move-in homes are available, and homesites are already selling, but the dedicated model home showcasing finishes, design choices, and the full Brahmans Draw experience is still under construction.

Briarcliff Marina is among the closest, with additional access at marinas around Lakeway, Volente, and Hudson Bend.

For Spicewood luxury homes buyers, the gated entry is one of the features that supports long-term value as well as daily quality of life.
Yes. Brahmans Draw currently has quick-move-in homes available for $699,000.

We built Brahmans Draw for buyers who want Hill Country living without compromise. The typical Brahmans Draw buyer is a retiree or semi-retiree relocating for a lake-and-golf lifestyle, an Austin luxury buyer trading up for space and views, or an out-of-state buyer researching Austin-area luxury new construction. These are buyers who are not commuting daily, value privacy and quality of life, and want a Spicewood luxury home in a gated community with golf and minutes from Lake Travis. If that profile matches yours, this community was designed for you.
Brahmans Draw is approximately 30 miles from downtown Austin and roughly 35 to 45 minutes by car via Highway 71, depending on traffic. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is approximately 40 to 50 minutes from the community, also via Highway 71. That positioning gives Brahmans Draw owners genuine separation from central Austin density while keeping the airport, downtown, the medical center, and Austin's cultural amenities within reasonable reach. For frequent travelers and buyers who use Austin regularly without needing to live inside it, the geographic balance is part of the case for Spicewood.
Three things. First, the concentration of five established golf courses within a short drive, including Arnold Palmer, David McLay Kidd, and Coore-Crenshaw designs, is unusual even in the broader Lake Travis market. Second, Brahmans Draw is built by us, Keystone Homes, a Texas new-home builder focused entirely on the Austin area, so the construction process and finish quality reflect local Hill Country expectations rather than a national template. Third, we deliberately scaled, gated, and positioned this community for buyers who choose Spicewood for reasons rather than convenience.
