The lowdown: Known as Villa La Isla, this dreamy waterfront estate was inspired by the renaissance of an old Italian village and built by the finest craftsmen. Its 2.89 opulent acres offer panoramic views of Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country, though the expansive home is just as beautiful. Imported Italian barrel tile, copper fixtures and gas lamps, a beautifully manicured courtyard with a 6-foot water fountain, and an arched covered walkway connecting the main villa to the detached casita are only a few of the exterior details you'll notice at first glance. Inside, revel in handmade mosaic floor medallions, Bethlehem stone floors, Venetian plaster walls, antique and custom light fixtures, crystal chandeliers, soaring beamed ceilings, hand-scraped walnut floors, and inspiring oversized limestone fireplaces.
