There are custom homes, and then there are homes like this.
Designed by Vanguard Studios and built by renowned luxury builder Tommy Burt as his personal residence, this extraordinary Spanish Villa represents a level of craftsmanship and architectural detail that is rarely seen today. Every finish, every material, and every design element was chosen without compromise because this home was never intended to be sold—it was built to be lived in.
From the moment you arrive, it's obvious this is something special. The grand entry is framed by hand-carved Cantera stone and welcomes you through an arched foyer adorned with stunning hand-painted custom tiles that immediately set the tone for what's to come. Imported tile flooring from Spain flows throughout much of the home, complementing massive reclaimed wood corbels, hand-hewn beams, and soaring 25-foot cathedral ceilings that create a warm yet dramatic living space unlike anything else on the market.
Every detail throughout the home was custom designed. The cabinetry was built specifically for the home, the wine room is a work of art, every chandelier and light fixture was individually selected as a statement piece, and the custom millwork, doors, hardware, stonework, and window treatments all reflect an incredible level of quality that would be extraordinarily expensive to recreate today. This isn't simply a luxury home—it's a collection of artisan craftsmanship.
The heart of the home is the expansive great room that seamlessly connects to the chef's kitchen and outdoor living spaces through beautiful custom wood doors. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner or a large gathering, every room was designed with entertaining in mind.
Outside, the resort-style backyard is equally impressive. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen overlooks the pool and spa, while the detached casita offers exceptional flexibility. Complete with its own living space and bath, it can easily serve as a private guest suite, multigenerational living quarters, home office, fitness studio, or the ultimate pool house where family and friends naturally gather.
Even the oversized garage was thoughtfully designed. It's climate controlled and outfitted with extensive custom cabinetry and built-in storage, creating an organized workspace that's as impressive as the rest of the home.
Situated on a private one-acre homesite in the coveted Greenshores community, you'll enjoy one of Austin's most unique neighborhoods along the shores of Lake Austin. Residents have exclusive access to a waterfront park and a large shared boat dock just a short stroll away, making it easy to spend the day on the lake without the expense of true waterfront ownership. The location offers an ideal balance of privacy and convenience—minutes from Emma Long Metropolitan Park, over ten miles of hiking and biking trails, Ski Shores Café, and just a short drive to downtown Austin.
Homes of this caliber are exceptionally rare. When one of Austin's premier custom builders builds a home for himself, the result is something that simply cannot be duplicated. Between the artisan craftsmanship, imported materials, timeless Spanish architecture, and unmatched attention to detail, this is more than a luxury residence—it's a legacy property that will be appreciated for generations to come. Add the low tax rate and modest HOA dues, and this is truly one of the finest custom homes available on Lake Austin.
