Weave for us a garment of brightness,
That we may walk fittingly where birds sing,
That we may walk fittingly where grass is green,
Oh our Mother Earth, Oh our Father Sky.
-Indian Prayer

One with Nature

Mother Earth weaves and wraps around you in this stunning stone and brick home in wonderfully secluded Lakeside-at-Tessera in Lago Vista. This rock-solid safe haven invites you to curl up like puppies in front of the impressive wood-burning fireplace, around the breakfast table, or on the screened-in back porch as you listen to songbirds and look out over a flourishing back yard and ever-so-blue Lake Travis. This comfy, charmed home is tailor-made for quiet solitude or joyous entertaining and it’s no more than a two-minute stroll to the heavenly, resort-style Lakeside Club at water’s edge.

Beautiful, Rock-Solid Retreat

The stately walls and high ceilings of the grand hall lead through a graceful archway to a magnificent open-concept living, dining, kitchen and breakfast area with soaring ceilings, outspread wall-space for art displays, rich wood floors, soothing natural light, and homey corner limestone fireplace.

The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, comfortably connecting the breakfast, living and dining areas. The kitchen features an abundance of warm, textured cabinetry, an over-sized island with leathered granite and extra storage, walk-in pantry, mixed stone backsplash, and chef’s oven with glide-out racks. The expansive dining area can easily accommodate grand furnishings perfectly suited for this glorious open space.

The living/dining/kitchen area opens to a fabulous screened-in back porch, sun deck, and large backyard with sensational unobstructed views of Lake Travis. The home-and-yard design provides great flow – perfect for entertaining.

The master suite is large with a tray ceiling and includes a spacious, wow-inducing spa with a huge split-level vanity, stand-alone shower, soaking tub with beverage-ledge, and two separate walk-in closets with plentiful shelving and a gigantic safe.

The three guest bedrooms are large with splendid tray ceilings and roomy closets. A spacious front-room is ideal for an office or library and features double French doors and an enormous window overlooking the immaculately landscaped front yard. Another flex room can serve as a home gym, sewing room, or sitting room.

A state-of-the-art laundry room includes a new Electrolux washer and dryer, full cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless-steel sink. A large second pantry is nearby. The roomy garage includes an extra-large workspace, tool-wall, generous shelving, stainless-steel sink, and enormous dual hot water heaters.

Grounds

Beautifully landscaped front and back yards have unobstructed views of Lake Travis and a full irrigation system. The front yard includes a lovely alcove protected from sun and rain and an extra-long driveway. The oversized back yard features mature oak trees, a private screened-in porch, and sun deck that look onto the lake. The yard is flat – ideal for gardening, strolling, or play. For something truly magical, witness the wonder of a million stars coming out at night in this idyllic setting so close to Earth and Sky.

Community

It’s paradise. Happy and bright. Playful and fun. This home is a short two-minute walk to the resort-style Lakeside Club with a waterfall edge pool, sun deck, and pavilion with spectacular views overlooking Lake Travis. The huge pool includes split 25-yard swim lanes and there is an adjacent children’s pool with splash pad. The club also has a jungle gym, volleyball and beach areas, fire pit and boat ramp. Opportunities abound for hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, boating, and birdwatching. Only minutes away are multiple golf courses, the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, restaurants, and a private airport. Contented and protected from the cares of the world, some who come here say they never want to leave.
