The Reserve at Lake Travis recently hosted a home tour to show off their beautiful community. Luxury home builder Sterling Custom Homes was there to showcase the magnificent home we are building on the cliff, overlooking Lake Travis.

This home is an excellent example of how important it is to carefully study and utilize the contours of the lot, rather than forcing a plan that doesn’t flow with the natural conditions provided. The lot slopes significantly from front to back and then severely down to the water.

We chose a point up on the ridge and, from that level, created the main floor of the home. This enables the homeowners to enjoy incredible views of the lake from a higher position than if we would have built to the lower contour. In doing this, we were able to then create a huge garage / “man-cave” below the house that is accessed from the lower left side.

A drive-through Porte Cochere at the main level gives the homeowners convenient access and creates an inviting entry for guests. Over twenty years of design and construction experience, much of it on challenging Lake and Hill Country lots, has given us a unique perspective and has enabled us to create one-of-a-kind dream homes for our clients.
