About the Property
La Ventana graces 1.7 acres in an exclusive cove on the Peninsula of Mystic Shores with 156 feet of Canyon Lake frontage. Spanning 5,951 square feet, this custom masterpiece epitomizes unparalleled luxury and craftsmanship, brought to life by acclaimed architects Gary Furman and Philip Keil. Seamlessly merging modern elegance with rustic charm, this architectural jewel features many antique beams from the owner's Kentucky farm and some sourced from as far around as Nova Scotia, creating an eye-catching, expansive ambiance perfect for entertaining. Each feature is akin to living amidst functional art, with handcrafted elements dating back hundreds of years, fostering a timeless aesthetic that starkly contrasts with contemporary building standards. The welcoming embrace of 300-year-old Mexican mission gates and a three-inch-thick hand-built entry door sets the tone as you step inside.
The home’s six ensuite bedrooms are enveloped by floor-to-ceiling windows, framing panoramic lake views and the surrounding natural beauty. The primary suite offers unobstructed vistas through a Nanaglass wall system that folds away to reveal eastern lake views offering a unique sunrise experience for an elegant breakfast in bed. Intricate barn-windows in each bedroom surprise you by sliding open to showcase lake views from every room, or closed to insulate you for privacy. The spacious dining area and gourmet kitchen, adorned with custom hardware and eloquent woodwork, a Viking stove, and a Sub-Zero fridge, and two farmhouse sinks offer a sublime culinary experience. The adjacent butler's pantry, equipped with additional hosting appliances and ample storage, is an entertainer's dream. A large stone hearth anchors the living room, providing a cozy space for conversation, while a nearby additional living area invites relaxation and TV enjoyment.
Outside, the thoughtful architecture extends across 1,909 square feet of covered patio, supported by historic beams and designed to channel southeastern breezes through the breezeway, offering a constant, refreshing respite from the Texas heat while you enjoy recreation at the lake. This home harmonizes with the elements, providing comfort, luxury, and a deep connection to nature.
