Description Henry's Wives: Austin

The highlight of this home lays in the breathtaking view. Sit under the wooden pergola, a coffee and a bagel in hand, and admire the undulating beauty of the green canyon. The crisp, blue water of the pool provides a welcome contrast to the lakes of green in the horizon.

We imagine that pool is where you'll spend most of the sunny afternoons. Refreshing and invigorating, the fresh water, surrounded by verdant plant life, makes you feel alive in the natural scenery. We suggest going for a dip in the morning to feel rejuvenated for the day ahead.

Lying round the corner from the pool, you'll find a scenic basketball court. Shoot some hoops with friends and family, then settle down for dinner under the pergola for some extra nourishment.

Your host can arrange a private chef for some world-class dishes, or you can simply sizzle some sausages and burgers on the BBQ if you'd prefer a more intimate evening.

For the days where you fancy being more social, the vibrancy of Downtown Austin is just a short drive away. Get out on the lake, visit the parks or sample the plethora of inviting restaurants.
