Property description

Embrace Hill Country living at its finest in this architectural masterpiece, a seamless collaboration between award-winning architect and builder Stuart Alkire. Set on a sprawling 1+ acre estate, this home redefines the "modern traditional" aesthetic, blending light-toned brick and limestone with moody, natural wood accents to create a visual narrative of pure luxury. The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area, where soft, natural light highlights designer fixtures and warm Texas earth. This space was designed for the entertainer, framing the outdoor oasis as a stunning backdrop and a seamless connection for indoor-outdoor hosting. The main-level primary features direct patio access and a spa-inspired ensuite. Indulge in the freestanding soaking tub or the expansive walk-in shower with a rain system. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with an entertainment lounge, a dedicated exercise room, and bedrooms with direct bath access. The crown jewel of the property is the resort-style backyard, an outdoor oasis that rivals the world’s finest escapes. A shimmering in-ground pool with an overflow spa and a shallow lounging deck anchors the space, framed by a built-in firepit and an extensive professional-grade outdoor kitchen. Providing the 6th bedroom on the property, the poolside casita features its own living area and bath, a perfect transition for poolside relaxation, complete with outdoor showers to maintain the home's pristine interiors. Thoughtful luxuries abound, from the 3-car garage and custom mudroom to the oversized pantry and abundant walk-in closets throughout. Situated within the prestigious Lake Travis ISD, this property offers a rare lifestyle balance – serene acreage privacy paired with effortless access to the boutique shopping of the Bee Cave Galleria and the renowned craft culture of Dripping Springs. This isn’t just a home; it’s a statement in the Texas Hill County.
