Gorgeous contemporary home ($6,100,000) in Austin, Texas on 1.2+ stunning, park-like acres; over seven acres of conservation land surround the property. Lush lawns are dotted with over 60 mature oak trees and provide a sylvan setting for the sleek, elegant home which is privately gated for peace and security. The grounds are designed with outdoor living in mind; a pool compound opens from the living room and features a limestone-surrounded pool and spa, shady cabana with summer kitchen and television, a raised sun terrace and dining patio. The lawn sprawls out from the hardscapes providing plenty of places to play and entertain, including a fenced formal garden.The interior of the home is a decorator’s dream, with rich wide-plank walnut flooring and creamy walls reflecting light that streams in from huge floor-to-ceiling windows; some windows are of black steel and are complemented by handcrafted iron railings for a dramatic effect. Contrasting with the metalwork is the airy, gourmet kitchen, with vast creamy porcelain countertops and chef’s appliances. The kitchen opens to a large family room, warmed with a smooth limestone-face fireplace. Finishes throughout the home are classic and luxurious, including designer lighting, creamy porcelain and quartz, and sparkling mosaic tile accents. Perfect for elegant entertaining, the floorplan flows from indoors to out and includes a formal dining room served by a butler’s pantry. Two large, open rooms upstairs can each function as a game room or media room, expanding the entertaining options. The main-floor primary suite is a serene retreat and enjoys a large, porcelain-clad bath, a huge walk-in closet and access to a covered porch. Includes a bookcase-lined office, a huge laundry room and a storage closet, plus a three-car garage. Additional luxuries include a whole-house Elan AV system, high fencing, foam insulation, and well plus two additional storage buildings on the property.
