some neighborhoods are simply places to live. the peninsula at rough hollow is a wonderful community to grow up, slow down, and thrive. just 30 minutes from downtown austin, this custom tuscan estate sits behind the gates of one of lake travis′s most coveted addresses, on a sprawling gated 1.15-acre lot with full privacy fencing and lush evergreen grounds where every detail has been considered and nothing compromised. from the moment you arrive, the tone is unmistakable. an enclosed stone courtyard with fountain, fireplace, and juliet balcony signals what lies beyond — a home built not just to impress, but to be lived in deeply. inside, soaring 20+ foot ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace anchor the great room, while custom metal doors frame an unobstructed view of the raised pool and rolling hillside. the chef′s kitchen delivers quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, an oversized island, a full thermador suite — 48" range, dual 36" refrigerators — and a butler′s pantry that keeps everything out of sight. the primary suite is a true sanctuary: spa-caliber bath with marble, porcelain tile, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and cedar sauna. a detached casita with private entrance, wet bar, and full bath offers perfect flexibility. a media and game room with wet bar and french doors rounds out the entertaining spaces. outside, the backyard is a private resort — raised pebbletec pool and spa with glass tile, water features, and tanning ledge; an outdoor kitchen with coyote and teppanyaki grills beneath a covered patio with auto uv screens; stone pathways connecting two greenhouses, a firepit, and drip-irrigated gardens. built for the long haul: foam insulation, cat6, savant smart home, nest thermostats, app-controlled systems, allergy-filtered hvac, four-car garage, and a custom safe room. peninsula residents enjoy a private dock, yacht club, resort pools, fitness center, and nature trails. where location meets lifestyle.
