This gorgeous Spanish hacienda is situated on a private 2-acre lot on a hillside of the Spanish Oaks community, overlooking the Balcones Nature Preserve.  With over 10,500 square feet, this five bedroom, seven full and two half-bath home offers numerous spaces, such as a gourmet kitchen with commercial appliances by Meile, SubZero, and Wolf, media room, office, play room, exercise room, multi-purpose studio, and a study.  Drawing from an array of archetypes, the predominant inspiration for the house is taken from the Spanish Colonial dialects of South Texas and Northern New Mexico. The goal is to bring an old world sensibility with an illusion of age.  The finish out is exquisite with details such as white-washed stucco, antique terra cotta clay tile roofs, stone floors, coarse timbers, carved limestone trim, reclaimed wood beams, distressed doors, rusticated Limestone fireplaces, window sills and door surrounds, arched stone entry ways, deeply recessed window and door openings and groin-vaulted ceilings.  Practically every room features custom floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide breathtaking views of the hill country.  The lower level of the home, dedicated to the expansive master suite, includes a large spa bath with garden tub, steam shower, sauna, wine room, sitting room, his and her closets with built-ins and dressing areas.  The outdoors offer a quaint courtyard with fireplace and a large combination living/kitchen/dining space with a pool and spa located off the back of the house.  Destined to become a classic, this fabulously unique showcase home is an extraordinary example of stylized craftsmanship.
