About Barton Creek Preserve
Barton Creek Preserve is a gated residential enclave in southwest Austin, located off Highway 71 near the city of Bee Cave in Travis County. The community sits within the 4,050-acre Barton Creek Habitat Preserve, a conservation area managed by The Nature Conservancy since 1994 to protect habitat for the endangered golden-cheeked warbler and the water quality of the Barton Creek watershed. Roughly 2,500 of those acres consist of mature oak-juniper forest that has been identified as critical nesting habitat for the warbler, a migratory songbird found only in Central Texas during its breeding season. Homes here were custom-built on lots averaging 1.2 acres, and the neighborhood is bordered by limestone terrain and dense tree cover typical of the Texas Hill Country. The zip code is 78735, and driving distance to downtown Austin is roughly 15 miles via Loop 360 or Highway 71.
Day-to-day errands and dining are concentrated in nearby Bee Cave, where the Hill Country Galleria offers approximately 713,000 square feet of retail space including grocery, restaurant, and entertainment options. The Galleria is less than a 10-minute drive from Barton Creek Preserve and is anchored by Dillard's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Whole Foods Market, and a Cinemark 14-screen theater. Bee Cave Central Park, a municipal park at 13676 Bee Cave Parkway, adds a 1.4-mile paved loop trail, two playgrounds, a dog park, and a covered amphitheater. Lake Travis, one of the region's primary water-recreation destinations, is accessible within about 20 minutes, giving residents options for boating, swimming, and lakeside dining without requiring a long commute. The Backyard, a well-known live music venue, operated in the area for years before closing, and the Galleria's outdoor amphitheater now hosts seasonal concert programming.
The neighborhood falls within the Lake Travis Independent School District, which serves approximately 11,000 students across its campuses in western Travis County. Students in this area typically attend Lake Travis High School, a campus that has earned repeated TEA Met Standard ratings, and Bee Cave Middle School for grades 6 through 8. The district has passed multiple bond elections to fund new campus construction and facility upgrades as enrollment has grown alongside residential development in the Bee Cave, Lakeway, and Spicewood areas. Because Barton Creek Preserve is small and fully built out, turnover is limited, and resale listings tend to move at a slower pace than surrounding subdivisions. Lot sizes and custom construction mean that no two homes are identical, and most properties exceed 5,000 square feet of living space with features such as swimming pools, outdoor kitchens, and professionally landscaped yards.
Barton Creek Preserve draws buyers who prioritize land, privacy, and proximity to open space over walkable urban amenities. The gated entry limits through-traffic, and the surrounding preserve land means the western and southern boundaries of the neighborhood will remain permanently undeveloped under the terms of the conservation easement held by The Nature Conservancy. HOA fees cover gate maintenance, road upkeep, and common-area landscaping. For residents who want access to golf, spa, and fitness facilities, the nearby Barton Creek Country Club operates four championship courses designed by Tom Fazio and Ben Crenshaw, along with a full-service spa, fitness center with indoor running track, four pools, and tennis courts. Full golf membership requires a $125,000 initiation fee and $755 in monthly dues. The combination of conservation-protected surroundings, large lots, and Hill Country topography defines the character of this community and distinguishes it from the denser developments that have expanded through the Highway 71 corridor in recent years.
