Nestled above the 500-year flood plain, this elegant home's design follows Salado Creek's meandering course. Entry to the property is through a magnificent wrought iron gate and stunning courtyard shaded by the largest of eight mature live oaks. A striking 24-foot entry wall of iron and glass leads into the magnificent grand foyer with 31-foot copper dome ceiling atop a sweeping quarter-sawn oak staircase accented by copper risers and a forged iron and copper handrail. The resplendent alabaster chandelier can be lowered to floor level. The dome's accent lighting rotates on a track for bulb changes. A 4-person elevator connects the home's second floor and two bedrooms with en suite baths, an upper viewing terrace. A seasonal room houses a professionally decorated Christmas tree that can be lowered by the touch of a switch to the marble floor below. As the gold ceiling dome lowers the tree, a second midnight blue fills the void. Downstairs amenities include a spacious primary bedroom with 2 walk-in closets, private balcony, library and gym overlooking the swimming pool and hot tub terraces. The bespoke French country kitchen with barrel clay ceiling is the heart of the home. Indulge in premium built-in appliances, oak cabinetry, 3 copper farmhouse sinks and range hood, 2 large islands, butler pantry, 2 walk-in pantries and breakfast room. An office with safe room, family room and and four-car garage complete the first floor's ensemble. The home's creek-side walls, terrace and outdoor spaces conform to the bluff's curves. Wrought iron railings separate the main terrace and a 40-foot drop to the creek, affording spectacular views of the manicured acreage beyond. A separate 3,118' carriage house affords 3 additional garages, workshop and full caretaker or guest accommodation. The home is built from native limestone and has a durable concrete tile roof with copper flashing and an exterior spider be-gone system. A propane generator provides backup power for both buildings.
