The Sanctuary in Amarra

Welcome to a hidden refuge within the Amarra community of Barton Creek - a serene sanctuary tucked away in one of Austin’s most coveted gated enclaves. Drawing inspiration from the world's most enchanting landscapes and the exclusive ambiance of the Aman resorts, this wind-swept, desert-inspired Mediterranean compound welcomes you with chiseled granite stone walls framing an open-air entry courtyard. Elegant and warm, the property envelopes you and immediately insulates you with natural features; olive and orchid trees line the approach to the main entrance, enhancing a poetic prelude. Designed by the acclaimed Chas Architects, customization and bespoke elements greet you at every turn. The residence blends Santa Barbara warmth with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A Spanish Revival Portico invites you into a central courtyard, where a marble fountain, lemon trees, and a limestone fireplace lull the senses into peaceful stillness. This is the home you have been waiting for. Inside, the simplicity of timeless Mediterranean modern architecture meets artisan craftsmanship. The incredible arched hallways found in the living and dining spaces are stunning and one-of-a-kind. Hand-finished Venetian plaster and historic reclaimed beams evoke warmth and authenticity, while cool, coarse-grained granite floors extend outward to seven glass-paneled doors framing profound and cinematic Hill Country views. In the chef’s kitchen, refined luxury meets function with top-of-the-line Wolf appliances, offering effortless entertaining and everyday ease. Well-equipped with a Wolf built-in grilling station and wet bar to make for seamless indoor/outdoor reveling, entertainment can easily spill to the outside. The views from the ample, shaded back porch offer a stunning proscenium framing of green spaces all around, highlighting the dramatic and breathtaking views and eternity-edged pool that you and your guests enjoy with splendid privacy. This resort-like compound unfolds across three distinct structures: a charming guest house, a third garage or fitness pavilion, and the beautiful primary residence- all thoughtfully crafted with artistry and grace. All one-story, this stunning home has simplicity with privacy at its core. Three terraced lawns offer space to roam and a lush green space to the left cascades toward a Barton Creek tributary, creating a living veil of privacy for the pool, dining, and lounge terraces. Anchoring the outdoor experience is a newly renovated, 60-foot lap pool with dual negative-edge sides. Water spills into the horizon, echoing the boundlessness of the surrounding landscape. Nature doesn’t just surround this home - it embraces it.
