Starry, starry nights. Paint your palette blue and grey . . .
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and winter chills

-Don McLean

These lyrics may as well have been written about this magnificent, secluded home in the serenely wooded Texas Hill Country. This is a place of tranquility set apart from the clamor and clutter of city life, but still close to amenities. It’s a home that will make your heart sing.

A rare and enchanting find, this private custom country retreat is nestled under the stars and behind the gates of the tranquil Grand Mesa community. This charming estate brings the glory of the outdoors inside. Mesmerizing views command your attention the moment you walk in the front door. Majestic live oak trees, distant hills and native wildlife peer through a wall of windows.

This home also looks onto the 17th hole of the picturesque Crystal Falls Golf Club – one of the most scenic golf courses in Central Texas. The property which includes an adjacent lot is two-plus-acres – one of the largest parcels on the golf course – and covered with nearly two hundred live oak trees.

This alluring home is expansive and intimate. Grand and warm. Spellbinding views, natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows and masterful incorporation of stone and wood enhance the warmth and spaciousness of the distinctive great room and kitchen.

The great room features a towering fireplace meticulously crafted with local Georgetown cavestone and limestone. Hearth and chimney are flanked by tailor-made knotty Alderwood bookshelves. Huge rough-hewn, solid-wood ceiling beams help frame the entry and great room. Massive stone arches soar upward, connecting the great room to the kitchen.

The kitchen is joyfully spacious and welcoming. Ideal for entertaining or soulful contemplation. This room is warmed by hand-crafted knotty Alderwood cabinets and a stunning wood-carved range-hood. Expansive counters create a custom buffet. Drawers are extra deep for storing cookware. The island is large and the kitchen is appointed with gorgeous stone countertops, stainless steel appliances and Roman pattern tile. The 12-foot ceiling in the kitchen and great room rises to 14 feet in the dining room.

The main-level master suite takes advantage of backyard views and exudes warmth with wide-planked bamboo hardwood floors and custom plantation shutters. The master spa has two large walk-in closets, two vanities, a walk-in shower and separate jacuzzi tub. A main-level private ensuite is an elegant guest-retreat with bamboo floors, plantation shutters and an extra-large walk-in closet. A private office is just off the entry. Crown molding, arched entrances and 8-foot doors add refined touches throughout the main level.

A large laundry room leads to a 3 ½ - car garage with immense cabinets and ample space for a workshop.

A staircase with twisted wrought iron railing, oak steps and inset onyx leads to a 2nd-floor study niche with built-ins. Also, there are two additional bedrooms (each with oversized walk-in closets), a third spacious bathroom, and a media room with a large granite wet bar and custom cabinets. A covered verandah extends off the media room, offering an unrivaled view of the woods and hills.

Grounds
Grounds are extensively landscaped. Multiple terraces make it ever-so-comfortable to enjoy the views, gentle breezes and starry, starry nights. Large covered and uncovered patios with built-in benches are adjacent to the back of the home. This acreage has space to accommodate a swimming pool and cabana or perhaps a second home to create a secluded compound.
