Oversized windows brighten the interiors, and the primary suite’s screened porch brings easy indoor-outdoor living without the hassle of bugs.

This home is as striking as it is livable. Winner of 2025 Best Home in the Hill Country and a featured property on the 2021 AIA Austin Homes Tour, this residence was designed by North Arrow Studio and built by Foresite Studio. The white limestone entry anchors the cedar-clad second story, while a glass-walled music room and meditation space bridge the home’s main structures. Sustainability is built in with solar panels and rainwater collection, and the rooftop deck provides yet another space to take in the Hill Country views. Inside, modernist details like a floating fireplace and sunken living room balance sophistication with a touch of playfulness. Outdoors, a courtyard pool makes for the ultimate private retreat.

4 bedrooms, 4 baths | 2,014 sq. ft.
Designed by Davey McEathron Architecture and built by Rabb Construction, this Holly residence is equal parts sculpture and home.

Whimsical details include a glass opening on the stair landing and a suspended hammock on the upstairs patio. Color reigns here, with vivid blues, greens, and oranges replacing neutral minimalism for a vibrant, one-of-a-kind retreat.
