Some homes are bought for the house. This one is bought for what the home site does at sunset. Behind the main residence, the ground falls away into protected greenbelt and a canyon view that runs uninterrupted to the Hill Country horizon — captured from the main-level primary suite, the family room, dining area, kitchen, and a full-width covered loggia with tongue-and-groove plank ceiling, stone columns, and a summer kitchen built for long Saturdays. And then there is the casita. Most listings call a detached guest room a casita. This one is a true second residence off a gated stone-paver courtyard — private entry, full bath, kitchenette, a separate bedroom, and a sitting area large enough to live in. In-laws, adult children, a writer's retreat, a long-stay friend who finally gets their own door. The rear yard asks nothing of you. No lawn, no maintenance schedule, no Sunday chore list — engineered for lock-and-leave living so the view stays the work the home does. And the location closes the case: under a mile to Canyon Grille and the Rough Hollow Yacht Club and marina on Lake Travis, with the Highland Village lazy river, sport pool, and 18+ pool a short cart ride from the front door. A Scott Felder build in Rough Hollow's East Rim, 2012, on a 0.367-acre pie-shaped greenbelt lot — 3,587 square feet, four bedrooms, three and a half baths, two living areas, primary on the main level. Inside: beamed entry foyer, wide-plank hardwoods, gas fireplace with full stone surround, custom office with built-in bookcases, and a working kitchen with propane cooktop, double ovens, oversized granite island, two-tone cabinetry, and clean sightlines into the family room. Primary bath with dual granite vanities, soaking tub, and frameless glass shower. Upstairs, a flex and game room anchors two secondary bedrooms and a full bath. Concrete barrel tile roof, all-masonry exterior, extended-length oversized garage. Lake Travis ISD, Serene Hills feeder. 2025 tax rate 2.0961.
