Each year near the start of March, the best and brightest of the independent film, music and digital world descend on Austin, Texas for a two week epic conference known as SXSW (South by Southwest). With thousands hitting the airports and returning home after the two week conference ended this weekend, we stay down south and take a look at a magnificent estate in Spicewood, TX – right outside of Austin.

Listed for $2,649,000, this “Gentlemen’s Ranch” is located on over 18 acres of versatile land inside the highly sought after Granite Ridge gated community. The ample grounds offer up extensive outdoor living spaces that would make for some serious family “get-togethers”. The large covered patio includes a fireplace, grill, refrigerator, sink and granite countertops! That’s just the kitchen outside, imagine how fantastic the kitchen inside the house is!

When you’re finished enjoying your outdoor kitchen or the pristine pool and jacuzzi; the interior of the main house will leave you inspired, relaxed and entertained. Top notch amenities and finishes like high ceilings, herringbone floors and wood beams and trusesses make the home feel upscale and luxurious, but warm at the same time. I’m not the world’s greatest cook by any stretch, but who wouldn’t want to cook up gourmet meals in a kitchen that would make Five-Star chefs blush?

Everything about this retreat is delightful and unique. Either enjoy the plentiful grounds of this estate, or kick back in the inviting and strikingly beautiful interior of this phenomenal home – I’d be happy either way!
