Lost Gold Cave
Resting gently atop a hill, this large hill country contemporary home has a view of downtown Austin like no other. It sports an extensive photovoltaic system, an organic garden, pool, courtyards, and covered outdoor living spaces. The detached guest house and home office suite provide a secluded retreat and private getaway.
Spanish Oaks – Rayner Place
Attempting to capture a Hill Country view, this contemporary house surrounds a cluster of trees in a generous courtyard. Water elements, photovoltaics, lighting controls, and ‘smart home’ features are essential components of this high-tech, yet warm and inviting home.
Westlake Drive
The bridged entry leads directly into a glass-walled Living area that overlooks the expansive golf course below. Located on a very steep lot, this house circuitously responds to the hillside landscape, allowing for amazing views from almost every room in the house.
