Bee Cave’s luxury homes sold for about $1 million to $3.57 million over the past 12 months, spread across ten neighborhoods with very different personalities. Signal Hill Estates leads the market with wooded homesites of one acre or more, Uplands is a gated community minutes from the Hill Country Galleria, The Homestead offers equestrian lots of 1 to 9 acres, and Falconhead wraps around the Falconhead Golf Club. This guide compares each one on price, home size, lot type, HOA dues, property taxes, and schools so you can narrow your list before you tour.
Every neighborhood in this guide is served by Lake Travis ISD, and most carry a 2025 property tax rate of about 1.64%. Bee Cave is its own incorporated city about 12 to 17 miles west of downtown Austin, with Lake Travis roughly 10 minutes away. If you are also comparing lake communities, our Lake Travis luxury neighborhood guide and Lakeway luxury neighborhood guide make useful comparisons.

Bee Cave Luxury Market at a Glance
The table below compares the ten neighborhoods in this guide that had closed sales, using each neighborhood's own sales from the 12 months ending September 2026. Several of these communities are small, so a single sale can move the median quite a bit. Use these figures as a starting point, not a final word on value.
| Neighborhood | Median Sale Price | Price Range | Homes Sold | Median Home Size |

| Signal Hill Estates | $2,900,000 | $2,875,000 to $3,570,000 | 5 | 5,501 sq ft |

Data sourced from Unlock MLS for the 12 months ending September 2026 (Bee Caves West: 12 months ending October 2026). Spillman Ranch is the legal name of the Falconhead community, and the two pages draw from different MLS subdivision names, so their figures overlap. Spring Creek Preserve and Spring Creek Estates are not in the table because neither had a closed sale in the past 12 months. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
What Makes Bee Cave Unique for Luxury Buyers?
Bee Cave covers only about 2.6 square miles, and it was incorporated in 1987. Its small size is part of the appeal. Luxury homes here sit in a Hill Country setting with live oaks and rolling terrain, yet the Hill Country Galleria, Whole Foods Market, and Bee Cave Central Park are only minutes away from most neighborhoods. Downtown Austin is 12 to 17 miles east, a drive of about 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic, using Highway 71 or RM 620.
Bee Cave also offers something few Austin suburbs can match. In April 2023 it became an International Dark-Sky Community, certified by DarkSky International. It was the 7th city in Texas to earn the designation, and a 2022 lighting ordinance keeps light pollution low. On a large lot in Signal Hill Estates or The Homestead, that means a clear view of the stars from your own backyard.

The luxury market here comes in several forms. On the west side, along Hamilton Pool Road, you will find acreage and custom-built estates. Near the intersection of Bee Cave Road and Highway 71, gated and walkable communities put shopping and dining close by. In the middle, master-planned neighborhoods built in the 2000s and 2010s mix upper-mid homes with a meaningful share of sales above $1 million.
Estate and Gated Communities
These five neighborhoods form the core of Bee Cave's luxury market. Each one either has a median sale price near or above $1 million, a gated entry, or acreage lots that are hard to find this close to Austin.
Signal Hill Estates
Signal Hill Estates is Bee Cave's newest luxury acreage community and the top of the local market. It takes its name from a nearby promontory that early settlers used as a signal point. Lots are a minimum of one acre, they are wooded, and they are arranged around open community space, so privacy comes built in. Custom builders including Eppright Homes, Ames Homes, and Sendero Homes are building here.
The neighborhood sits off Hamilton Pool Road, just west of Highway 71. Five homes sold in the past 12 months, all between $2,875,000 and $3,570,000, with a median home size of 5,501 square feet. Expect a longer sales timeline at this price point, with a median of 114 days on market.
- Median Sale Price: $2,900,000
- Lot Size: one acre minimum, wooded
- Builders: Eppright Homes, Ames Homes, Sendero Homes
- HOA: $140 per month
- Property Tax Rate: 1.644% (2025)
- Schools: Bee Cave Elementary, Bee Cave Middle, Lake Travis High

Uplands
Uplands is a gated Bee Cave community near the Hill Country Galleria and the intersection of Bee Cave Road and Highway 71, which makes it one of the most convenient luxury addresses in the area for reaching West Lake Hills, Southwest Austin, or downtown. Lots range from about half an acre to three-quarters of an acre, with some larger parcels, and three- and four-car garages are common.
Homes range from about 2,811 to 5,751 square feet with 3 to 6 bedrooms. Three homes sold in the past 12 months, between $1,160,000 and $2,150,000.

- Gated: Yes

- Property Tax Rate: 1.644% (2025)
- Schools: Lake Pointe Elementary, Bee Cave Middle, Lake Travis High
Read the full Uplands neighborhood guide or search Uplands homes for sale.

The Homestead
The Homestead is Bee Cave's equestrian neighborhood, with a rural feel, no sidewalks, and minimal restrictions. Lots run from 1 to 9 acres, so there is room for a barn, and residents use the area's hike and bridle trails. Development began in the late 1970s and building continues today, with several lots still available if you would rather build than buy.
Because the neighborhood has grown over decades, the homes vary widely, from two-story homes built in the 1980s to ranch-style Spanish villas, generally between 1,700 and 6,000 square feet. Most of The Homestead has no HOA, only deed restrictions. The Homestead is just west of RM 620 and is reached from Great Divide Drive off Highway 71.
- Median Sale Price: $955,000
- Price Range (12 months): $655,000 to $1,600,000
- Lot Size: 1 to 9 acres
- HOA: none for most homes (Section IV: $150 per year)
- Property Tax Rate: 1.644% (2025)
- Schools: Lake Pointe Elementary, Bee Cave Middle, Lake Travis High
Read the full Homestead neighborhood guide or search Homestead homes for sale.

East Village
East Village is one of Bee Cave's newest developments, and its HOA handles front and side yard care. Building began with Village Builders and continued under Lennar after it acquired Village Builders. Inside, expect high ceilings, arches, tall windows, and high-end finishes. Outside, a mix of European and traditional architecture keeps the streets from looking uniform.
Lots are small, which gives the neighborhood a slightly urban feel, and the Hill Country Galleria is a minute or two away. The HOA, Spanish Oaks East Village Condominium Community, maintains the front and side yards, the gate, and the common areas, while owners maintain their own structures. Two homes sold in the past 12 months, at $907,500 and $1,149,000.
- Median Sale Price: $1,028,250
- Median Home Size: 2,624 sq ft
- Gated: Yes
- HOA: $285 per month, includes front and side yard maintenance
- Property Tax Rate: 2.119% (2025)
- Schools: Lake Pointe Elementary, Bee Cave Middle, Lake Travis High
Read the full East Village neighborhood guide or search East Village homes for sale.
Bee Caves West
Bee Caves West is a small, established neighborhood where the value is in the land. Homes sit on 2 to 3 acre lots with mature oaks and cedars, and some sit behind gated driveways. Most were built in the 1980s and 1990s and range from about 1,200 to nearly 3,000 square feet.
There is no HOA, and turnover is low. Only one home sold here in the past 12 months, at $1,185,000. The neighborhood is off Hamilton Pool Road west of Highway 71, reached by Cueva Drive.
- Last 12-Month Sale: $1,185,000 (one sale)
- Lot Size: 2 to 3 acres
- HOA: none
- Property Tax Rate: 1.644% (2025)
- Schools: Bee Cave Elementary, Bee Cave Middle, Lake Travis High

Established Neighborhoods with Luxury Homes
These neighborhoods offer a range of price points, with homes regularly selling above $1 million. Each one has recorded sales of $1 million or more in at least three of the last five years, so they belong in any Bee Cave luxury search even though their medians sit lower than the communities above.
Falconhead and Spillman Ranch
Falconhead is the marketing name for Spillman Ranch, so the two names describe the same community and the same HOA, The Spillman Ranch Community, Inc. Development began when the Falconhead Golf Club opened in 2003, homes were built from the mid-2000s on, and the community was completed in 2023. Builders included Taylor Morrison, Meritage Homes, Monterrey Homes, and Village Builders.
Homes range from about 1,550 to more than 6,200 square feet on lots from roughly a tenth of an acre to one acre. The golf club is a pay-as-you-play public course with membership options. Sales have reached $1 million and up in at least three of the last five years, with top sales of $1,725,000 in 2022 and $1,175,000 in both 2024 and 2026. The low end of the 12-month price range likely reflects homes in the Cottages at Spillman Ridge, a separate, lower-priced section.
- Median Sale Price: $1,000,000 (Falconhead) and $1,072,500 (Spillman Ranch)
- Price Range (12 months): $470,500 to $1,627,000

Bella Colinas was built exclusively by Meritage Homes from 2013 to 2019 off Vail Divide Road. It has a Bee Cave address but sits just outside Bee Cave city limits in unincorporated Travis County, within Travis County MUD No. 18. It has three sections, each with its own level of finish and price point, and homes range from 1,882 to 5,529 square feet in one- and two-story plans. A community center with a pool and park is a feature that most Bee Cave neighborhoods do not have.
Bella Colinas recorded sales of $1 million or more in four of the last five years, including $1,555,000 in 2022, $1,240,000 in 2024, and $1,110,000 in 2026. Note that its property tax rate is higher than most neighborhoods in this guide, and the neighborhood is inside a municipal utility district.

Private Estates, Gated Living, and Golf in Bee Cave
Beyond price and location, most luxury buyers have one or two features they will not compromise on. In Bee Cave, those usually come down to land, a gate, or golf.
Private Estates and Acreage
Acreage is where Bee Cave stands out. Signal Hill Estates offers wooded homesites of one acre or more with custom builders, The Homestead has 1 to 9 acre lots with room for a barn and access to hike and bridle trails, and Bee Caves West has 2 to 3 acre lots. HOA rules tend to be lighter on the acreage side of Bee Cave. Bee Caves West has no HOA, and most of The Homestead has deed restrictions instead of an HOA.
Gated Communities
If a gated entry is on your list, your choices among Bee Cave's own neighborhoods are limited. Uplands is a gated community with half-acre to three-quarter-acre lots near the Hill Country Galleria, and East Village has a gated entry maintained by its HOA. A few homes in Bee Caves West sit behind private gated driveways. For more gated options across the metro, see our guide to Austin luxury gated communities.
Golf and Club Living
Falconhead is built around the Falconhead Golf Club, a public, pay-as-you-play course with membership options, so you can live on or near a course without a required club membership. For private club golf, Spanish Oaks Golf Club, designed by Bobby Weed, is in Bee Cave, and the Flintrock Falls and Hills Signature courses at The Hills in Lakeway were designed by Jack Nicklaus. Lakecliff Country Club in Spicewood, an Arnold Palmer design, is a short drive west on Highway 71.
Bee Cave Luxury Homes: What to Expect
Bee Cave luxury homes fall into two broad groups. Custom homes on larger lots are concentrated in Signal Hill Estates, The Homestead, and Bee Caves West, where you will find everything from 1980s two-story homes and ranch-style Spanish villas to new custom builds by Eppright Homes, Ames Homes, and Sendero Homes. Builder homes from the 2000s and 2010s fill Falconhead, Falconhead West, Bella Colinas, Ladera, and East Village, built by companies such as Taylor Morrison, Meritage Homes, Drees, Ryland, and Lennar.
Stucco and stone exteriors are common across the area, and three-car garages are typical in Falconhead West and Uplands. Lot sizes vary more than most buyers expect, from about a tenth of an acre in parts of Falconhead and Ladera to 9 acres in The Homestead. If a pool, detached shop, guest house, or barn is on your list, confirm that the specific lot, HOA, and deed restrictions allow it before you go under contract.

Bee Cave Property Taxes
Most of the luxury neighborhoods in this guide carry a combined property tax rate of 1.644% for the 2025 tax year. That includes Signal Hill Estates, Uplands, The Homestead, Bee Caves West, Falconhead, Spillman Ranch, and Ladera. Falconhead West is slightly higher at 1.7%, East Village is 2.119%, and Bella Colinas is the highest at 2.374%. East Village and Bella Colinas are both inside municipal utility districts (West Travis County MUD No. 8 and Travis County MUD No. 18), which add to their rates.
Those differences add up at luxury price points. Before exemptions, a $1.5 million home at 1.644% would owe about $24,660 a year, compared with about $31,785 at 2.119% and about $35,610 at 2.374%. On a $3 million home at 1.644%, the bill would be about $49,320. Your actual bill depends on your appraised value, exemptions, and the specific taxing units for the property, so always confirm the rate for a specific address with the Travis Central Appraisal District before closing.

| Bella Colinas | $1,110,000 | $232 | 42 | 98% |
A few patterns stand out. The acreage and estate communities, Signal Hill Estates, Uplands, The Homestead, and Bee Caves West, sold more slowly and at a lower share of list price. The established neighborhoods sold in about a month or less at 97% to 98% of list price. If you are selling a Bee Cave luxury home, pricing and preparation matter even more at the upper end.

Buying a Luxury Home in Bee Cave: What to Know
Luxury purchases come with a few wrinkles that do not show up at lower price points. Plan for these before you write an offer.
- Custom build vs. resale: Signal Hill Estates and The Homestead still offer the chance to build, which adds months but lets you design every detail. Resale in established neighborhoods gets you a finished home with mature landscaping now.
- Appraisals above $1 million: several Bee Cave luxury neighborhoods record only a handful of sales a year, so there are fewer comparable sales and appraisals can come in below the contract price. Talk with your lender early about how a gap would be handled.
- Jumbo financing: loans above the conforming limit typically call for a larger down payment and more cash reserves, so get pre-approved with a lender who handles jumbo loans regularly.
- Acreage due diligence: order a survey, review easements and floodplain status, and if a property has a well or septic system, inspect it separately from the home inspection.
- MUD assessments: Bella Colinas is in Travis County MUD No. 18 and East Village is in West Travis County MUD No. 8, which is part of why their tax rates run higher. Ask for the total rate for the specific property, not just the city and county rates.
- City limits: a Bee Cave mailing address does not always mean a home is inside Bee Cave city limits. Bella Colinas, for example, sits just outside the city in unincorporated Travis County. Confirm the jurisdiction for any home you are considering, since it affects taxes and which rules apply.
- HOA and deed restrictions: if a barn, casita, pool, or detached shop is on your list, confirm it is allowed before you go under contract. The Homestead relies mostly on deed restrictions, and its Section IV has its own HOA.
The Bee Cave Luxury Lifestyle
On the Water
Lake Travis is about 10 minutes from most Bee Cave neighborhoods. Several full-service marinas sit along the south shore in Lakeway, including Lakeway Marina at Lakeway Resort and Spa, Hurst Harbor Marina, and Crosswater Yacht Club, which has 247 wet slips. Lakeway Resort and Spa also makes an easy spot for a spa day or dinner on the lake.

For dining, Buenos Aires Café serves Argentinian cuisine, Chisos Grill focuses on Texas and New Mexico-inspired steaks and seafood, and The Garden at Ellera offers East Coast Italian fare. Vista Brewing adds craft beer and live music on its patio lawn, and the Galleria hosts the weekly Bee Cave Farmers Market, concerts on the Central Plaza Lawn, a Fourth of July fireworks show, and an annual Christmas tree lighting.
For wine, head west on Highway 71 into Spicewood, where Spicewood Vineyards offers a large indoor tasting room and an outdoor pavilion.
Hill Country Parks and Dark Skies
Bee Cave Central Park covers 50 acres of meadows and live oaks with a one-mile walking trail, basketball courts, and picnic areas, and the Bee Cave Sculpture Park displays more than 30 works by Hill Country artists along a pebble trail. A short drive west, Hamilton Pool Preserve, Milton Reimers Ranch Park, and Pace Bend Park offer swimming, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing, and boating. At night, Bee Cave's International Dark-Sky Community status keeps the stars visible, especially from the acreage lots along Hamilton Pool Road.

Bee Cave's luxury market is small, and the right home often comes down to one or two listings a season. Whether you are drawn to Signal Hill Estates for custom building on acreage, Uplands for a gated address near the Galleria, The Homestead for room to ride, or Falconhead and Falconhead West for golf and established streets, it helps to know each neighborhood before something comes up.
Our team can match your priorities to the right neighborhood, tell you what is active and coming soon, and walk you through pricing, HOA rules, and tax differences that are easy to miss from a listing alone. When you are ready, reach out and we will guide you from first showing to closing.
