Bee Cave – Reward Yourself with a Beautiful Home in a Peaceful Place to Relax and Unwind
Out among rolling green hills on the serene shores of Lake Travis lies the city of Bee Cave. Though Bee Cave is less than half an hour from downtown Austin, its elegant, almost Mediterranean beauty feels worlds away.
Picturesque scenery is the backdrop for the area’s established neighborhoods, some featuring magnificent custom-built homes set on sprawling parcels of real estate. As one of the most desirable addresses in the Austin area, there’s more than the convenient location and abundant natural beauty that draws home buyers to Bee Cave. People fall in love with its charming, close-knit community lifestyle.
“Bee Cave is just like our store in many ways,” says Young & Fabulous store manager, clothing buyer and area real estate owner Lynn Giovannetti. “Beautiful, exclusive, exciting and well… fabulous! Our customers are happy and healthy, just like the community they make their home in.”

Bee Cave Central Park is the hub for local outdoor recreation. Spread over 50 acres of gorgeous real estate donated as part of The Hill Country Galleria Development Agreement, Bee Cave Central Park has two pavilions, playscapes, and nearly two miles of paved trail that winds its way across the length of the park. The pavilions are popular areas for birthday parties, graduation parties and other social gatherings.
The park also has plenty of attractive benches and other inviting places to sit and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Basketball courts and open green spaces are often filled with kids and their parents playing games or just relaxing.
Outdoor enthusiasts who also have an appreciation for art, delight in visiting Bee Cave Sculpture Park. Covering seven acres, Sculpture Park features unique and enchanting three-dimensional works in a relaxing and natural outdoor setting. In addition to admiring the talent of local artists from throughout the region, visitors are charmed by the park’s spring-fed pond, majestic oak trees and over 20 different native species of plants.
Fuel Your Active Lifestyle with Farm Fresh and Healthy Foods
Shopping is a pleasure for Bee Cave homeowners. A deluxe HEB grocery store that borrows heavily from HEB’s upscale Central Market concept is located close to home. Offering many freshly prepared foods-such as great deli sandwiches and salads to go, HEB’s Café on the Run is a big hit with locals. The large selection of fresh and organic produce, meats, and wide variety of wines and beers, and fresh-baked breads and pastries get rave reviews and keep area residents happily coming back.
Another popular option for healthy foods is the Lone Star Farmer’s Market with farm fresh goods for sale every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Lowe’s parking lot. With an emphasis on the community, the locally grown foods and farm products are extremely popular among Bee Cave homeowners.
Enjoy a Full Day of Great Shopping at the Hill Country Galleria
Bee Cave residents enjoy more excellent shopping at one of Austin’s newest shopping destinations – the Hill Country Galleria. An attractive outdoor mall, The Hill Country Galleria boasts more than 80 department and specialty stores, boutiques, and salons, as well as 20 restaurants, all located across 50 acres of green real estate. Shoppers can pick up the latest runway fashions at fab’rik and take a relaxing break at Austin’s favorite spa, Milk + Honey. Men can check out Jos. A. Bank for casual apparel, as well as high-end tailored business attire.
The Galleria also includes a Whole Foods Market. A popular Austin favorite for fresh produce, artisanal breads, cheeses, meats, and convenient, healthy ready-made meals, Whole Foods is the perfect place to select a picnic dinner to savor while listening to live music under the stars at the community center’s outdoor amphitheater, located adjacent to the Galleria. For everyday grocery shopping, an upscale HEB is also nearby.
Sizzling Fajitas, Spectacular Sunset Views and a Fun-Filled Evening of Dancing to Live Music
While the Hill Country Galleria boasts a number of popular restaurants, most notably the Buenos Aires Café, Iron Cactus Mexican Grill & Margarita Bar, Madam Mam’s Thai Cuisine, and Mimi’s Café, there are more good restaurants throughout Bee Cave. Some of the popular local options include Café Blue, Panera Bread, Verde’s Mexican Parrilla, and Maudie’s Hill Country.
Interested in dinner with a view? The Oasis on Lake Travis is a popular choice. The sunset views over Lake Travis are spectacular from any one of the Oasis’s many decks and terraces.
And when the mood strikes for a fun-filled evening of live music and dancing, The Backyard at Bee Cave is an Austin tradition. With legendary alumni such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Paul Simon and Willie Nelson, The Backyard’s natural, open air stage is deeply woven into Austin’s culture as the Live Music Capital of the World.
Highly-Regarded Schools and Convenient Healthcare
In addition to all of the area’s other premium amenities, the schools and medical facilities serving Bee Cave are among Austin’s best. Schoolchildren in Bee Cave attend excellent schools in the Lake Travis Independent School District. Bee Cave is served by three elementary schools, Lake Travis Middle School and Lake Travis High School – all of which get high marks from parents and students, while exceeding all the standards on the Texas Education Agency’s 2013 assessment of public schools.
St. David’s Emergency Center, a full service freestanding emergency department, is located at the Hill Country Galleria. The center serves as an extension to St. David’s South Austin Medical Center. Patients requiring inpatient care are transported from the ER to the hospital.
The Hospital at Westlake Medical Center is a 23-bed general medical and surgical hospital in the city of Bee Cave, and the Lakeway Regional Medical Center, a 100-bed full-service hospital is only five minutes away.
Make Your Home amid the Natural Beauty and Casual Elegance
Bee Cave is a city of natural beauty and casual elegance. And living just 25 minutes from Austin and less than 40 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International makes commuting and traveling convenient and easy. In addition, Bee Cave’s popularity is enhanced by its highly regarded schools, abundant recreational amenities, and magnificent homes – many of which are located on beautiful, oversized parcels of real estate.
“We’ve enjoyed living here for more than ten years and we have a beautiful home,” says Bee Cave homeowner Marla Colverson. “My husband and I both work downtown and it’s an easy commute, but at the end of the day, we find coming home to such a peaceful place to relax and unwind is the greatest reward we could ever ask for. We love it here.”
