Southern Living's editorial guidelines Published on April 14, 2021 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: ©Jp Morales Texas has only three homes designed by the inimitable Frank Lloyd Wright. But if you're a fan of the famed architect and have a serious stockpile of green to spare, this stunning property designed by John Covert Watson, a FLW apprentice may be for you. Perched in Austin's Hill Country, Retreat at Lick Creek Lodge, boasts an eye-catching hyperbolic paraboloid roof design, plentiful glass for breathtaking views, a pool, a guest lodge, and details that would make an art history professor swoon. "What I love about the home is that upon arrival you are immediately transported on a journey of nature and art. It really helps you switch gears from this hectic life and provides a shareable space for your collections that is a piece of art in itself," says listing agent Susan Barringer of Kuper Sothebys International Realty. "You can hide away on your own secluded perfectly private swim-up deck in the unbelievable cliff encompassed pool and be out of reach, yet be within minutes of the action in Austin." With an asking price of $17.5 million, luxury sure doesn't come cheap, but prepare to be dazzled by this unique build — even if it's just in the form of a quick virtual escape. 01 of 17 A Bird's Eye View ©Jp Morales This unique home is situated on nearly 30 acres in Spicewood, Texas, off the Pedernales River. 02 of 17 Drive Up to Your New Home ©Jp Morales It sure does stun in the vesper hours. 03 of 17 Another View from Above ©Jp Morales Meant to resemble a deck of cards, this is a home unlike any we've seen. 04 of 17 Pool Time ©Jp Morales The elegantly designed pool is wrapped in limestone and also features a waterfall. 05 of 17 Afternoon Dip? ©Jp Morales Don't mind if we do. 06 of 17 Come On In ©Jp Morales During the daytime, natural light pours into the entryway. 07 of 17 Living Space ©Jp Morales Locally harvested wood and sprawling glass windows abound throughout the home. 08 of 17 Time to Relax ©Jp Morales Look up and marvel at the unique architectural choices. 09 of 17 Zen Out ©Jp Morales Make use of your very own meditation room. 10 of 17 More Space to Relax ©Jp Morales A welcoming nook to read a book or take a nap. 11 of 17 Bedroom ©Jp Morales Better get blackout shades for this light-filled space. 12 of 17 Bathroom With All the Light ©Jp Morales This silvery-space might become your new favorite place to retreat. 13 of 17 More Living Space ©Jp Morales The steel-and-wood materials combination really makes a statement. 14 of 17 Kitchen ©Jp Morales Can't argue with those views while cooking — or the Calacatta Macaubas countertops, oak and maple cabinetry, and Sub-Sero and Wolf appliances. 15 of 17 Dining Space ©Jp Morales Find us in the window seat in a postprandial food coma. 16 of 17 Outdoor Space ©Jp Morales There's plenty of room to spread out on the nearly 30-acre property. 17 of 17 Another Bedroom ©Jp Morales The muted red fireplace really grabs your attention.
