Vista Sereno : A Modern, Spanish Colonial Retreat

^{Step into the pinnacle of luxury with this newly remodeled extraordinary Modern Spanish Colonial estate, a designer's masterpiece that combines architectural elegance and contemporary refinement. Nestled on a near 2-acre lot that adjoins Emma Long's thousand-plus acres of pristine riverside park property, this custom sanctuary offers breathtaking views and unmatched privacy. Combining the peace of a secluded retreat with convenient access to modern living, this property is truly unique. Every detail of this home reflects exceptional craftsmanship and charm. Graceful arches frame flowing interior spaces, creating seamless transitions between rooms while showcasing impeccable attention to detail. Authentic kiva fireplaces, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, intricate molding, and solid wood doors enhance the warm, inviting ambiance. This layout balances openness with privacy, ensuring a perfect blend of connection and intimacy.}

^{At the heart of the home is a newly updated chef’s dream kitchen, blending functionality with artistry. Custom all-wood cabinetry, natural quartzite countertops, a hand-crafted tile backsplash, and a striking ten-foot custom-milled walnut floating shelf set a tone of luxury. High-end Wolf and Dacor appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, and a butler’s pantry with a wine fridge, secondary dishwasher, and beverage sink make this an entertainer's dream. Adjacent to the kitchen, a breakfast nook offers serene views of Emma Long's undeveloped hills. The primary suite is a tranquil abode with private terrace access and sweeping vistas. Its spa-inspired bathroom features custom all-wood cabinetry, Viola marble countertops, a walk-in shower with handmade floor-to-ceiling tile, and a freestanding soaking tub framed by an antique stained-glass window. A hidden spiral staircase connects this peaceful space to the media den below through a secret built-in bookcase door. Additional living areas include a third-floor tower with wraparound views, perfect for a secluded home office, guest retreat, or studio. Newly refinished hardwood floors, European limestone, and handmade Arto concrete tiles add depth and texture throughout.}

^{Outside, the property is an enchanting oasis offering complete privacy surrounded by nature. A fully remodeled pool and spa is designed to resemble a natural Texas Hill Country swimming hole. The pool and spa feature all-new pool equipment including UV and ozone treatment, a high-end Stonescapes replastering, and elegant, handcrafted tile. The pool and spa are framed by a limestone patio and wood arbor with the rear of the property backing up to Turkey Creek and a thousand-plus acres of pristine wilderness. Perennial gardens with drip irrigation and an updated sprinkler system ensure a lush yet low-maintenance environment. A pool fence with an alarm latch and a refinished outdoor shower enhance both safety and convenience.}

^{The home seamlessly combines beauty with practicality. Newly installed in 2024, dual heat pump HVAC systems with completely updated ductwork and a mini-split for the third floor provide year-round comfort. New Marvin windows were installed throughout much of the home in 2024. Refurbished antique lighting fixtures, smooth level-five drywall, fully repainted interior and exterior, and an authentic California clay tile roof add to its timeless sophistication. Additional upgrades include an enhanced laundry room with marble countertops and an epoxy-coated garage floor with built-in storage. With a voluntary $8 per month HOA and a low 1.6526% tax rate, this extraordinary estate offers unparalleled comfort, beauty, and privacy.
