This One-of-a-Kind Escape Minutes From Downtown Austin Is on the Market
Meticulously crafted by renowned architect Larry Speck and further evolved by the award-winning Paul Lamb, this high-concept Stratford Hills estate commands a lush, private hillside, offering unmatched privacy alongside downtown Austin views.
Austere concrete and sleek reclaimed longleaf pine floors create a foundation of raw elegance, perfectly juxtaposed by soaring wood-and-steel roof trusses. The result is space that feels both expansive and intimately private, where curated art collections find their gallery-worthy backdrop and intentional design philosophy breathes through every material choice.
In the gourmet kitchen, bold Venetian plaster walls in deep, saturated black anchor the space, contrasting with a commanding natural quartzite island and a traditional LaCanche range. Here, the architecture prioritizes transparency; floor-to-ceiling glass dissolves the boundary between the culinary workspace and the landscape, allowing the interior to breathe in the Hill Country surroundings. Multi-level decks cascade across the property, connecting to an outdoor fireplace, pristine pool, and meticulously landscaped gardens.
The primary suite serves as the home’s emotional center, accessed via a hallway lined with lichen-speckled tree bark—a tactile gesture that brings nature directly into the built environment. Inside, blackened steel paneling threads through the bedroom and bath, adding a layer of industrial sophistication to the organic luxury. The bath itself is a study in texture, showcasing Arabescato marble and radiant-heated stone floors set against poured concrete walls.
