About the Property
Encompassing a sprawling 23 acres across five distinct parcels, this extraordinary retreat presents a unique opportunity to own a vast and adaptable property in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Perfect for creating a family compound or a grand estate, this property also offers the potential to sell off parcels, allowing for potential investment recovery and customization according to your vision. Situated just moments from serene Lake Travis and a short drive from the vibrant Hill Country Galleria, it harmonizes the serenity of rural living with the convenience of proximity to shopping, dining, and top-rated schools in the Lake Travis district.
Perched atop a scenic hilltop ridge, this home is a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern convenience, where the essence of Texas Hill Country meets the sturdiness of a Colorado Lodge. Constructed with care from hemlock pine, the residence features beautiful longleaf pine flooring and custom hand-hew log timbers throughout. A prominent dry-stack stone fireplace reaches from floor to ceiling, circulating warmth and adding a touch of grandeur to the space.
Hand-crafted by skilled artisans, this home exemplifies meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship—the chinked log construction enhances its aesthetic appeal and functionality. Chinking effectively seals the gaps between the logs, drastically reducing air infiltration from outside and significantly boosting the property's energy efficiency. Furthermore, the logs' thermal mass plays a crucial role in temperature regulation—absorbing heat during the day to mitigate overheating and gradually releasing it at night to minimize heat loss. These thoughtful construction details not only ensure a more comfortable living environment but also contribute to reduced energy costs. Geothermal heating and cooling systems complete this home's commitment to sustainability and comfort and maintain a pleasant climate throughout the year.
