7br Home w Pool Perfect for Family Reunions

The home is on a 2-acre gated property and when Lake Travis is full, you can see the beautiful water in the cove from the backyard!

The character throughout the home is rich with history having first been built as a modest home that was expanded to its current arrangement in the mid-70’s. The update included the antique doors leading into the courtyard which are reported to be from “The Alamo” movie set. John Wayne directed and starred in the movie “The Hellfighters” in 1968 and the home’s owner at that time was a technical director for the movie. Wayne and the home’s owner had a lifelong friendship and John Wayne stayed at the house and played tennis there!

The great room features an impressive stone fireplace (decorative only), two leather sofas, a collection of armchairs, and a large smart TV – perfect for large groups to watch movies or sporting events. The adjacent family room boasts a fireplace, TV, comfortable sofa (sleeper), and a 4-person table for casual dining or games.

The spacious gourmet kitchen and café table for coffee is situated in front of yet another gorgeous old stone fireplace. Fully equipped, the kitchen is a chef’s dream with rich countertops and stainless steel appliances, with barstool seating at the island for 3. The elegant dining room, with its own fireplace, provides a grand table with seating for twelve.

Across the courtyard, the separate guest quarters include an upstairs main apartment as well as a downstairs studio apartment. The upstairs apartment has another fully-equipped kitchen with all appliances and coffee makers, a private king-sized bedroom with ensuite bathroom and balcony, and a living area with a queen-sized bed, two sofas, dining table, smart TV, and cozy fireplace. This area is great for families.

To maximize your time outdoors, ample lounge and dining seating surround the shaded pool area. Saddle up to the outdoor bar and prepare some afternoon cocktails for the sunbathers in your group or take your well-earned meals al fresco under the expansive Texas sky.
