Lakefront
Inspired by the timeless work of renowned designer John Saladino, acclaimed Austin architect and designer Ryan Street created an extraordinary Italian-inspired estate spanning approximately 88 acres along the crystal-blue shores of Schneider's Cove on Lake Travis. Perched high above the lake, the mellow sandstone residence evokes the feeling of an ancient Tuscan farmhouse. Its hand-laid clay barrel tile roof, exposed timber-beamed ceilings, stone floors, and authentic architectural details were thoughtfully designed to capture the romance and understated elegance for which Saladino is celebrated. It is no coincidence this remarkable homesite was chosen, its rolling topography, mature oaks, and commanding lake views perfectly complement the home's Old World character. Beyond the private gated entrance, a winding drive through the wooded landscape reveals a secluded sanctuary positioned to maximize panoramic views across the tranquil cove and out to the main body of Lake Travis. Designed entirely on one level, the residence seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Expansive doors open to a wraparound stone terrace overlooking the level lawn and resort-style pool, creating an exceptional setting for entertaining or quiet evenings beneath the Texas sky. A gentle walk leads to the protected two-slip private dock, making boating and lake recreation effortlessly accessible. Throughout the estate, every finish was selected with uncompromising attention to quality. Imported materials, handcrafted architectural elements, and bespoke decorative details honor the spirit of a classic Saladino home while offering every modern luxury expected of a world-class waterfront estate. Rarely does a property so successfully combine architectural pedigree, extraordinary acreage, absolute privacy, and one of the most spectacular waterfront settings on Lake Travis.
