Tucked quietly into a cul-de-sac within the guard-gated community of The Hills, 5 Championship Drive occupies one of the rarest settings in the neighborhood — an extraordinary 0.85-acre homesite with approximately 287 feet of golf course frontage along Hole 9 of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course. Once home to Jack Nicklaus himself, the property carries a subtle sense of history while offering a setting that simply cannot be recreated today.

The lot is what immediately separates this property from nearly everything else in The Hills. Wide, open golf course views stretch across an expansive section of fairway, while the positioning of the home creates an uncommon sense of space and privacy rarely found in golf course communities. Mature trees, generous setbacks, and the curvature of the cul-de-sac combine to make the property feel removed, quiet, and established.

Inside, the home was designed to stay connected to the landscape. Nearly every major living space engages the outdoors and the golf course beyond it. The atmosphere feels relaxed and intentional rather than overly formal — a home built for people who genuinely enjoy where they live.

All bedrooms are ensuite, creating privacy and comfort throughout the home, while a spacious detached casita offers tremendous flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, long-term visitors, or a private office setup. The casita includes a large bathroom and generous walk-in closet, allowing it to function as a true extension of the home rather than simply additional guest space.

The outdoor living experience is equally compelling. A massive covered patio anchors the rear of the property with a fireplace and expansive entertaining area positioned to take full advantage of the golf course setting and peaceful surroundings. Upstairs, the primary suite opens onto a private balcony overlooking the course, with a recently renovated primary bathroom.

Additional highlights include an oversized 4-car garage and a location that is walking distance to The Hills clubhouse and restaurant — a convenience rarely found on lots of this scale and caliber.

The Hills remains one of the most established private golf communities in the Lake Travis area, known for its 24/7 guarded access, mature surroundings, and its connection to the Nicklaus-designed Signature Course that helped shape the community itself.

Properties with this combination of provenance, lot size, frontage, walkability, and overall positioning rarely become available — especially on one of the community’s most recognizable streets.
