133 La Serena Loop, Horseshoe Bay, TX 78657

This two-story residence is designed as a unique retreat at Escondido, seamlessly blending ample amenities with its natural surroundings. The home’s layout balances private spaces with a variety of indoor-outdoor areas, each oriented to capture the best views. Drawing inspiration from Spanish Colonial Revival architects like George Washington Smith, the design also incorporates elements from traditional Mexican homes. The architectural journey begins with a double-height stair hall, accessed from the garage through a covered arcade. Built-in shelving, Mexican tiles, and a groin-vaulted plaster ceiling add warmth and character to this space.  A series of arches lead to the Great Room, featuring a stained beam ceiling and large arched French doors that open to the outdoors. Adjacent spaces include a spacious kitchen with tile details and a sculptural plaster range hood, along with a covered terrace for dining al fresco or relaxation. Plaster arches frame two primary views, and a central fireplace serves as the focal point of the outdoor living area, ideal for entertaining or unwinding.  The living spaces include a Primary Suite and Guest Suite, both located on the main level. The Primary Suite is distinguished by a trio of arch-top windows offering natural light and scenic views, complemented by a vaulted ceiling with stained wood beams and purlins. The Guest Suite features French doors that open onto a private terrace, creating a serene retreat for visitors.
