Article About the Home in Architectural Digest
This spectacular Hill Country Modern Home was designed by award-winning Los Angeles-based architect Patrick Tighe. Featured in Architectural Digest & Architectural Record, the home is set on the brow of a hill with a 270-degree panoramic view of the Hill Country. Privacy is assured by the surrounding 11+ acres of land.
A long, crushed granite drive leads to a circular drive and the unassuming front elevation of the home, which gives no hints of the wonders to be found inside. Opaque glass windows at the front of the home provide privacy from visitors, while allowing the transfer of light to the interior. The solidly built home has board-poured-concrete pylons that act as an anchor for system of steel beams that run up and out through the house, framing the main living spaces and the area outside under the deep, curving roof.
Concrete and steel beam construction, large expanses of glass, floor-to-ceiling fireplace, cypress lined ceilings and the soaring roof line make an architectural statement while successfully connecting the house with its setting. The home, site, and views are truly in harmony with each other.
In the home’s open floor plan, the master suite is set on one end of the home adjacent to the study, while the other two bedrooms are in a separate guest wing. Between the bedroom wings in the central part of the home are two living areas, one with a stone floor-to-ceiling fireplace, an open dining area and gourmet kitchen. Every room has high-end finishes and beautiful views.
Xeriscape surrounds the home and compliments the natural landscape. Almost all of the small cedar has been removed from most of the property, leaving the large cedars, live oaks and beautiful long-stemmed grasses that flow like ocean waves in the wind. After rains, water flows down a wet-weather creek at the bottom of the hill. Horses are allowed.
Offered at $850,000
