A View that Inspired an Epic
This breathtaking Mount Bonnell home is perched at the summit of the mountain providing panoramic views of Lake Austin and the expanse of the Hill Country. Home to author James Michener while writing his epic novel Texas, you’ll understand immediately how the broad blue skies, serene waters of Lake Austin, and the rolling green hills visible from every window set the scene for his masterpiece. Guests will be amazed as they enter, moving immediately to the living room wall of windows to marvel at the view of boats traversing the water and the evening sunsets over the lake.
Ultimate Austin Lifestyle Home
Designed as the ultimate entertaining home, there is room for a crowd with spaces for indoor and outdoor cooking, lounging, playful splashing, and serene soaking. The main floor is expansive; anchored by a generous 2,500 bottle circular stone wine cellar and intimate lounge, the open living, and dining rooms frame sweeping views. A negative edge resort-style pool and spa surrounded by rich IPE decks are the centerpiece of outdoor living. A tranquil waterfall flows into a second pool below surrounded by a tanning deck suspended over the lake. Additional socializing space is provided in the media room and bar.
Livable and Luxurious
While optimized for entertaining, the house is designed for everyday living. The master suite takes advantage of the scenery with corner windows overlooking the lake and features a stone-clad fireplace to take the chill off on cool evenings; the suite also includes a private deck, study, sumptuous bath, and laundry room. Two additional bedroom suites provide luxurious accommodations on the main level. Additional amenities include a home theatre, gym, pool bath with a steam room, and a third private guest bedroom with its own deck and views of the lake.
Centrally located and just minutes to downtown events, dining, and nightlife Austin has to offer, but you’ll soon find you long to be back home in your own hillside sanctuary.
