Description

The Rockcliff Estate is a unique and picturesque Tuscan property in Westlake that covers over three acres of hillside and lakeside property. The serpentine stone rock wall provides security, privacy, and mystique. The Jauregui home is completely fenced, and is separated by front and back yards, with foot gates and swing gates on both sides of the home. The large, double-entry hand-crafted metal gate greets guests and offers a quick glance at what exists beyond. A side entry service manual slide gate allows easy and convenient access for extra cars, boats, and toys of a wide variety. A circular entry driveway provides flat and elegant entry to the double entry doors sourced from a South American monastery. A four-car garage to the right side of the home was designed to allow additional building space for future antique vehicle collections.

The expansive estate also offers lake access via a portion of property that exists on the opposite side of Rockcliff Road that leads down to a small pond, which feeds directly into Lake Austin. The owners have launched stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, jet skis, and pontoon boats from this access point. A T-shaped dock exists where a pontoon boat can be docked.

As you approach the front door, the 100% masonry structure of stucco and Texas Stone with tile roof offers nearly 7,000 square feet of spacious living area. The flooring is a warm combination of polished and honed Mexican travertine and Long Leaf Pine flooring. Plush looped carpet is found in many of the private bedroom spaces. The entry foyer is grand, flanked by a spiral staircase and a home office. The walls throughout were designed to portray an old Tuscan villa. The light treatments and flooring were selected to remain consistent with this old-world theme, and the grandness of the space is what provides instant appreciation for this timeless home. 26-foot soaring ceilings and walls of glass make any visitor a potential permanent guest. The first floor's formal living area is viewed directly in front of the foyer with a massive gas fireplace.

The first floor offers a primary bedroom with a sitting area, a fireplace, and bar. The primary closet is large enough for most couples, with a combination of built-in storage space and hanging space. A cedar closet is available. The primary bathroom has a bidet toilet with heated seat, and his & her water selection. The two-person shower melts any earthly frustrations and certainly beats any bubble bath. One might consider using the steam shower, or the combination stream and shower treatment. Mexican hand-crafted soft travertine pillow tile, a lost art, is found in this area.

Continuing on the first floor, as you enter the kitchen, you’ll be greeted by a large, open wall of glass with 26-foot soaring ceilings, fireplace, and views that surely will invite inspiration. The kitchen island setup makes for grand meals, with high quality appliances, walk in pantry, Maitland Smith lighting, warming drawer, and more.

Access to two wonderful, covered porch living areas makes this Texas property one of a kind, with views of the 360 Pennybacker Bridge.
