Property Overview

This architectural masterpiece on Peace Pipe Path represents a thoughtfully reimagined compound in Westlake Hills, where award-winning design meets Hill Country authenticity. Originally built in 1982 and completely reimagined in the early 2000s by AIA-awarded architect Mell Lawrence, the property showcases a distinctive blend of industrial modernism and Texas vernacular craftsmanship. Limestone, steel, glass, and heavy timber converge throughout multiple structures to create a cohesive retreat that has graced the pages of Metropolitan Home and HGTV.

The main residence spans 6,276 square feet across six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, anchored by a generously proportioned primary wing featuring a spa-style bath, cedar-lined closet, private deck, and outdoor shower. An expansive living and dining area flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen with concrete countertops and a striking limestone fireplace, while floor-to-ceiling glass frames views of the pool and manicured grounds. A fully conditioned porch extends the living experience into the Hill Country air.

Beyond the main house, the over-one-acre compound includes a peaceful meadow and seasonal creek, establishing a private sanctuary just minutes from Eanes ISD schools and Lake Austin. The property delivers the refined amenities and thoughtful architecture that define Westlake Hills' most distinguished addresses, all positioned near the area's median price per square foot.
