Spicewood is an unincorporated community in Travis County and partially in Burnet County, Texas, United States. According to the Texas Almanac, the community had an estimated population of 2,000 in 2000.[2] But in the 2011 census, the community had a population of 7,666. The community also extends towards Travis County off Highway 71.
The community-proper, located at the intersection of C.R. 404 and Spur 191, is home to a community center, a former two-room local schoolhouse that was closed after merging with Marble Falls ISD. The community also contains a non-denominational church and a Church of Christ and was formerly the home of BJ Cafe, reputed to have been an occasional favorite of Willie Nelson. The Cafe closed in 1990 and is now a private residence and auto repair shop.
In 2020, Willie Nelson was living on the Luck Ranch in Spicewood.[3] He also performed in Spicewood during his Fourth of July Picnic on July 4–5, 2003, at Two River Canyon Amphitheater.
