If you want to take a real glance of this superb property, just hop in your car and get to 2401 Portofino Ridge, in Austin, Texas. Surnamed The Castle in the Woods in Barton Creek, the residence is located on 5 lots – 4 acres of superbly garnished property, with extraordinary landscapes.
It comprises a total of 7 bedrooms and 9 spaces for cars, alongside a grandiose style, huge refinement, elegance and a Moorish Pointed architecture due to make you drool. Put shortly, this residence can be described as 13,615 square feet of art. It features decorative pieces and artworks in every room or chamber, all under a state of the art clay flat tile roof.
The Zeluck custom mahogany lancet style windows are one of the greatest finishing touches of this superb mansion, alongside limestone features, hand scraped exotic wood floors, hand glazed plaster walls and designer-made plush carpeting.
In terms of amenities, it would take us too much time to enumerate everything this home comprises. We shall though mention the one off lighting fixtures, iron railings crafted by artists and mahogany or cherry custom cabinetry. The library, almost looking like a chapel, includes a safe room with the sole role to store all sorts of stuffs. One interestingly garnished place is the great room, boasting with a classically carved fireplace, mahogany French style doors and large beams.
The kitchen is equally stunning, with a wonderful eat-at island, home management center and stainless steel appliances. There is also a secondary expansive catering kitchen, off of the formal dining room, a fully endowed bar and a wine cellar able to host 1,500 bottles.
Accommodation wise, the grand master suite features doors that lead to the Jacuzzi and relaxing spa-like bath, and a superb sitting area with grand fireplace. The mansion also boasts a guest suite with private bathroom and small office. In addition, there are two separate dressing and closet areas, alongside a state of the art breakfast bar.
As for the main floor, it features two majestically staggering office spaces, one with a games room and large server room. If your steps head upwards, you’re bound to reach the three unique bedrooms with balconies, ensuite bathrooms and all sorts of luxurious built-ins.
Outside, the property doesn’t let us down at all. It boasts with a superbly trimmed backyard, with ample entertainment and relaxation areas alongside lush landscaping. In addition, the outdoor spaces also comprise an outdoor kitchen under the portico, a fireplace and negative edge pool or spa. Separate from the main home we can find an independent shop or gymnasium, under a 2 bedroom guest or staff apartment.
Of course, it would be extremely inappropriate to even think of a low price for such a magnificent residential facility. In fact, priced at $10.9 million, it surely doesn’t come cheap at all.
