The greatest compliment that one can pay to any region’s architecture is that it appears organic, like it sprung naturally from its unique surroundings and native materials and culture. Tudor half-timber could only have come from the oak forests of England; stave churches could only originate in Scandinavia.

The Texas Hill Country has so much in common with the Côte d’Azur and Amalfi Coasts—the brilliant white stone, red clays for tile, the flashing sapphire of deep water in intense sunlight—that the Mediterranean style translates to Texas as though it were born here. Bella Vita Custom Homes is uniquely proud to be edging toward completion of a spectacular Model Home at 409 Rough Hollow Cove in Lakeway.

Only three family bedrooms (with a guest casita) in a house of over 5,600 square feet leaves lots of room for luxury: a brilliantly illumined circular stairway in the grand foyer; a large, beam-ceilinged family room whose area effectively doubles through triple French windows to the terrace and infinity pool; a regal, groin-vaulted passageway to a brilliantly conceived Master Suite that occupies an entire wing of the house; two-story study with a spiral stair to a wrap-around library balcony, a vast upstairs pool terrace connected to a roomy theatre, and through a hinged swinging bookcase-door to a fully appointed lounge with wet bar. Not to mention the elevator to the roof-top sun deck.

After serving its turn as a Model Home, this splendid villa is going to conduct some lucky family in a Master Class on how to live beautifully.
