Set on a full acre of pristine land, this beautiful custom home has several things going for it – the location, the way in which the terracotta paint job and structure emulates a Tuscan villa, and the small paradise that is the backyard. Set on the banks of Lake Austin, the views from the swimming pool, patio, and garden remain breathtaking regardless of the angle you’re viewing it from. Even more appealing is the little observation deck from where you can get up close and personal with the lake as you sip a morning coffee whilst wrapped up in a throw. Maybe dipping your feet into the water as you sit down in one of the adirondack chairs lined along the small stretch of private beach is more your style. Regardless, the splendour of this space is undeniable. Spend your time lounging around with a book, sitting down on the sprawling lawn for an impromptu picnic, and watching kids play in the shallows of the mighty lake. Watch the sunset from the hot tub before lighting up the barbecue for flame-grilled hamburgers. Catch a movie on the television outside and after the kids have gone to bed, the fire pit is... waiting for the adults to end their day with a bit of stargazing and plenty of laughs over a bottle of wine.
