    a total stunner

    Marvelous modern mansion hits the market in Piney Point for $12M

    Holly Beretto
    Jul 11, 2024 | 4:00 pm

    A modern marvel, set among the exclusive enclave of Piney Point, is one of those see-it-to-believe-it homes. 11246 Memorial Drive both cleaves to and stands out from its surroundings, and it's on the market for $12 million, represented by Dee Dee Guggenheim Howes and Nasseim Saad with Compass Real Estate.

    It sprawls over more than 12,000 square feet, with every luxury a homeowner could want. There are six bedrooms, seven full baths, three half-baths, a four-car garage, wine room with wet bar, elevator, and whole house generator. This one-acre estate also includes a summer kitchen and lavish pool.

    But it's the design by Levant Luxury Homes that makes 11264 Memorial stand out. The open floor plan seamlessly integrates panoramic views of the outdoors, creating an inviting atmosphere suitable for both daily living and grand gatherings. Built on multiple levels, the home features stunning landscaping that turn it into a tranquil retreat.

    The pool and spa are both focal points and gathering places. With its near-horizon design, the pool offers views of the home's expansive grounds. Just above it is the covered summer kitchen, with Fantasy Brown Leathered countertops, a natural gas grill, built-in outdoor beverage cooler, and ice maker, perfect for al fresco entertaining.

    The home's entrance is anchored by a custom, pivoting steel front door imported from Austin, signaling sophistication. In the foyer, the two-story windows offer a breathtaking view of the front lawn and fills the space with natural light. The room is designed with a Harlem Caliza porcelain floor tile, Aria 6 Ring LED chandelier in polished brass, and floating white oak and steel stairs with glass and steel railing. An elevator provides access to all floors. 11264 Memorial's first-floor study has custom double doors imported from Mexico, allowing owners to create both intimate and open spaces as needed. The living room has a Montigo Gas Log Fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves. A tray ceiling adorned with a custom Venetian plaster finish completes the room's sophistication, and in-ceiling speakers provide a seamless audio experience.

    Home chefs will love the kitchen, with its White Pearl Francini Quartzite countertops on the island and leathered natural stone on the breakfast table, illuminated by Modern Forms Linear Pendants in aged brass. There's a Rohl under-mount double bowl sink, complemented by Waterstone pull-out spray and pot filler faucets, which blend style and function. Off the kitchen is a scullery, providing additional storage and workspace. The wine cellar and wet bar provide ample space for keeping special bottles and entertaining.

    The entrance of the primary bedroom suite sports its own sitting room, offering just a hint of the luxury to come. The bedroom has White Oak Engineered Hardwood Flooring, a morning bar with London Grey Quartzite countertops, and a dual-sided gas fireplace with a quartz surround, setting the scene for cozy relaxation. Glass doors lead to a terrace overlooking the grounds. The lavish bath features an Orgin Ombre Doree-Matte wall tile backdrop, a walk-in steam shower with a seamless glass door, and a Jacuzzi Unique soaking tub, complete with a Kohler deck mount tub faucet.

    Additional bedrooms have treetop views, some with access to the upstairs north terrance, which has its own gas outdoor fireplace. The downstairs mudroom offers stylish storage and access to the four-car, showroom garage, which has spacious 12-foot ceilings to house even the most luxurious vehicles or personal collections.

    11264 Memorial is truly a modern luxury oasis in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods. It blends jaw-dropping beauty and plush amenities with a true sense of being a home that welcomes friends and family alike.

    rustic ranch livin'

    17-acre Hill Country ranch with stunning views listed for $3.7M

    The 17-acre ranch is located at 1601 Creek Rd. in Dripping Springs.

    A spacious property for sale in the bustling Austin suburb of Dripping Springs is now offering just over 17 acres of land for $3.7 million.

    The HC Carter Camphouse, located at 1601 Creek Road, presents a rare opportunity for its next owners to live less than two miles from downtown Dripping Springs. The 17.03-acre ranch was once part of a much larger, 205-acre ranch that contained "one of the finest Longhorn cattle herds in Texas," according to the listing description.

    The property features two renovated homes: a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, Spanish-style main house that was originally built in 1956; and a restored "Pioneer Cabin" that was built in the mid-to-late 1800's and currently serves as the guest house.

    The primary home has a gated stone courtyard with a water fountain, and a tiled wraparound porch overlooking the front yard and in-ground fire pits. Terracotta tile runs throughout the interior of the home, and rustic wood details cohesively tie the rooms together. The spacious primary bedroom features wide French doors that open to the front porch, a high angled wood panel ceiling, and a Santa Fe-style fireplace.

    The restored cabin maintains its vintage charm with stone flooring, all-wood ceilings, log beams, and antique furnishings. The home contains two bedrooms with window AC units, two fireplaces, "working bathrooms," and a kitchen.

    Onion Creek runs through the property to provide stunning Hill Country views and a barrier of separation from Creek Rd. However, it also means a majority of the land south of the creek — including the areas where both homes sit — is in a FEMA 100-year floodplain and a Dripping Springs localized floodplain. The property's survey map fills in the details.

    "The property has approximately 1,600 feet of frontage on Onion Creek, providing year-round water, and stunning views of the creek," the listing says. "The creek has never gone dry on this part of the creek since the owners have owned the property."

    The ranch first entered the market in late July as a 9.999-acre parcel of land, but the listing has since been updated to add 7.031 more acres in an adjoining lot. The land addition improves the property's privacy, nearly doubles the Onion Creek frontage, and increases the size of the "most probable new home site location," according to the listing. The expansion also effectively reduces the price-per-acre by a third.

    The 17-acre ranch is located at 1601 Creek Rd. in Dripping Springs.

    Whoever purchases the ranch will also become the owners of an additional one-acre lot located "outside of, but contiguous to" the 9.999-acre lot. This portion of land is leased to the property's caretaker, who previously managed the original 205-acre ranch for 25 years. The listing specifies that the caretaker "does not have the right to sell this 1 acre, which will revert to the owner in case of his death."
