Luxurious elegance is welcomed to Texas in this exquisite Georgetown estate ($7,000,000). Enter into breathtaking beauty through the gorgeous Cantera doors and be greeted by finely detailed architecture, rich custom paint on the ceilings and walls and stone flooring from a quarry in Israel, all carefully coordinated to create rooms that are both lovely and inviting. Enjoy the well-appointed kitchen, both beautiful and functional, with top of the line appliances, including a commanding commercial range, all centered around a monolithic slab island including a copper sink, as well as an additional travertine stone sink, while taking in the back yard view. Set on a floor of antique terra cotta tiles, the honey-toned cabinets and aged ivory island play well against one another. A custom rough plaster wall finish continues into the adjoining family room. A standout detail in this noteworthy space is the inspired artistic painting on the range hood. The entertainer’s dream continues to the family room, in which a viewing screen descends from the massive custom hand-carved fireplace with full theater sound, including the center channel in the hearth. Beautifully finished cabinetry and bookcases are located on both sides of the fireplace and create a dramatic focal point in the room. The Master Retreat is a quiet sanctuary accented with beautifully-finished cabinetry and is equipped with theater sound. The walls are hand glazed in soft tones, and the gently aged beams and a delicately painted frieze board enhance the vaulted ceiling. A custom hand-carved limestone fireplace and intricate marble mosaic floor panel create dramatic focal points. The bathroom with Italian mosaic tile provides ample counter space and storage, as well as a whirlpool, bidet, walk-in closet, kitchenette and an exercise room. Step outside to an ongoing vacation in the Spanish blue glass tile pool with a swim up bar, built-in grill, and 12-person hot tub. Another 6-person hot tub sends a stream of water to the pool providing a decadent backyard retreat. Speakers throughout the grounds, two ponds, waterfalls, security cameras, overflow parking, and outdoor bathroom with showers make this the ideal setting for any Texas size gathering. The cabana houses a full kitchen, bathroom and living area, and is ideal for catering service and equipment. Ascend up the bronze staircase to upstairs living. The office provides ample workspace with hand-scraped walnut floors, as well as granite countertops from Australia. The bedrooms all have double access to the main level of the home, with wool carpet, custom finishes, and individual bathrooms, each with exquisite tile work and fine cabinetry. In the Italian-themed home theater, enjoy a perfect movie night utilizing the full kitchenette with a Sub-zero refrigerator, ice maker, microwave and sink. All equipment, chairs, and electronics in the rack system convey, as well as the BW speakers which offer full theater sound. The abundant space continues with additional guest quarters that offer complete privacy as well as a living area, dining room, bedroom, full bathroom, large closet and space for a washer/dryer. The kitchen is fully functioning with granite counters, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar. The garage has four ten-foot bays as well as raised cabinets to allow full water cleaning. In the garage is a power room with surge protection, a back up battery, and finally a commercial-grade generator that sits atop a 1500 gallon diesel tank, powering the home for 1 week. The fully functioning barn, designed to compliment the main home houses two large bays, storage, bathroom, and an upper level storage loft. Because of the level area and size of barn, a helicopter can easily fly in and out while being stored in the barn. This Hill Country dream home offers complete luxury combined with the appeal of country living…a perfect retreat with Texas charm.
