A Modern Hill Country Retreat

This custom residence embodies the essence of Hill Country design, transforming a homeowner's vision into a seamless reality tailored to the rugged beauty of its Central Texas landscape. Perched to maximize breathtaking views, the home features expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that invite abundant natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere while framing panoramic vistas of rolling hills, oak trees, and distant valleys. The exterior showcases a covered patio with light stone walls, dark wood siding, and sleek glass doors that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, complemented by a dramatic illuminated staircase with integrated step lighting for safe, elegant access after dusk. Modern black railings and a spacious concrete deck enhance the contemporary edge, while natural elements like river rocks and native vegetation ground the structure in its surroundings.
Inside, the open-concept living space boasts vaulted wooden ceilings with exposed beams for a warm, rustic touch, paired with contemporary track lighting and pendant fixtures. A modern fireplace with a floating wood mantel anchors the room, overlooking the stunning outdoor scenery. The adjacent kitchen flows effortlessly into the space, featuring dark cabinetry, a sleek countertop, and a unique sliding ladder for the custom bookshelves—adding functional charm. Built with CR Bass Homes' precision craftsmanship, this project highlights our ability to design homes that harmonize with the land, blending sophistication with Hill Country serenity for a truly personalized luxury retreat. This home was featured in Luxe Interiors + Design for its innovative use of rammed earth walls sourced from local soil, creating a raw, organic elegance that reflects the Texas landscape.
