AUTHENTIC. TIMELESS. EXTRAORDINARY. Gracing over 3 acres harmoniously uniting with the coveted shores of lake Austin, a true masterpiece awaits at the Evergreen on Lake Austin. Available for the first time ever, this estate is singular in its beauty and uniqueness. Evergreen was imagined by renowned architects Ryan Street Architects, brought to creation by respected builder Dalgleish Construction Company and curated by acclaimed designer Rachel Mast, resulting in a three year design and construction win. This legendary partnership and European travels inspired this highly custom home, resulting in a museum of historic marvels fused with technology and modern supreme engineering, a true masterpiece. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this gated estate is enveloped in nature and privacy with a gently sloping greenscape overlooking the Balcones Nature Reserve, 229 feet of precious waterfront, and a two slip covered boat dock. Options abound as one can arrive by air, land or water, as helicopter landings are allowed on the expansive lawn. From the moment you step inside, statements are made and your arrival to a life better lived is revealed. Offering over 8,000 sq ft of impeccable spaces, both luxurious and organic, affluent and with understated elegance, and there’s still room to build more. Walls of windows welcome you outside with several outdoor living spaces to enjoy the lake beyond, including multiple verandas, a kitchen, fireplace, and pizza oven. A journey through history was taken to resource materials from ancient eras and around the world, bringing in century old reclaimed timbers in Oak, Elm, Beech, Maple, and Hickory, reclaimed tobacco pine and oak floors, Jerusalem stone and 11 antique doors, each unique and a wonderful in their own right. What was old has been made new again. The heart of the home is the bespoke kitchen that flows seamlessly into an airy and open floor plan with Wolf , Sub Zero appliances, natural stone countertops, a mosaic backsplash, and a custom vent hood. This social center point adjoins the family room and eating nook, which are personalized with decorative ceiling work and a fireplace. The kitchen and additional bar are positioned for interflow in an open plan to the great room, formal dining, and piano enclave. A palette of nature in warm patina and Venetian plaster, all three levels of the home are accessible by a towering cylinder staircase and an elevator. A sense of arrival like no other, the primary wing sits private and proud, through a trio of graceful arches, coziness and luxury abound. The bedroom was canted to align north-south for sleeping magnetism and wellness. Calcutta marbles embrace the spa-like bathroom with a stunning soaking tub, mosaic tile, two walk-in closets, two vanities and sweeping views of the lake. Serenity and well being envelop you at Evergreen with a world class wellness center, overlooking the inviting pool and natural landscape. Technology at its finest, a smart home throughout includes a Lutron control system. Additional property features include two dedicated offices, a 3 car garage with generous auto court and a charming greenhouse. Steiner Ranch boasts many amenities including The University of Texas Golf Club with a golf course, tennis courts, basketball courts, playscapes, picnic areas, and nature trails along with close proximity to daily desired conveniences. A rare acreage estate on the lake, mere steps from the home, the cool, clean waters of Lake Austin await with beach access and a two slip covered boat dock with ample storage offering the best lake lifestyle available. A living work of art…This is Evergreen on Lake Austin.
