So Santa didn’t bring you the Hill Country mansion you had on your Christmas list. No worries, I’m sure you were well behaved enough. He probably just couldn’t stuff it in his sleigh. But it’s available and waiting for the perfect family to move in.

Living La Vida

If you always wanted a Santa Barbara style mansion, five miles from downtown Austin with gorgeous views of the surrounding Hill Country, then look no further. Your dream home is currently available for $2.2 million. Spread upon 1.2 acres, this four-bedroom four bath home with stone, tiled and wood floors, 2,600 square feet of outdoor living space and a one bedroom, one bath casita is suited for even the most famous Hollywood celebrity.

Living La Vida

Cruise up the 500-foot driveway into the hills and enter thru the grand entry way with over-sized beveled glass doors.

Float up the front steps into your very own slice of tropical paradise.

Relax in front of the fire while gazing out one of the three sets of arched double doors into your courtyard, complete with built-in Romanesque wall fountain.

The arched theme continues in the spacious kitchen looking into the dining room with wood beamed ceiling accents.

It’ll be hard to leave the master bedroom with lovely balcony as you’ll never grow tired of the views. And when it’s cold outside, the roaring fireplace will be sure to keep you toasty warm while in bed.
