The main residence features four ensuite bedrooms, a fifth flexible room, private elevator, theatre room, and a dramatic great room with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the lake, along with a chef’s kitchen equipped with Thermador appliances and custom cabinetry designed for entertaining. Outdoor amenities rival a private resort with a glass-view resort-style pool, firepit lounge, expansive terraces, steam sauna, and a private hillside tram leading directly to the exclusive dock and Lake Travis shoreline.
