About this property
High above miles of protected Hill Country preserve, this custom Grand Mesa estate was designed around one extraordinary feature: the view. From sunrise illuminating the canyon below to dark-sky evenings beneath a canopy of stars, the landscape becomes part of daily life. Set on 3.25 acres with dramatic elevation changes, exceptional privacy, and a secondary build site for future expansion, the property offers a rare combination of natural beauty, usable land, and protected views that are increasingly difficult to find in Central Texas. Soaring ceilings, thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, and views throughout the home create a seamless connection between indoors and out. The great room anchors the home with dramatic scale, a fireplace, and sweeping preserve views, while the expansive deck becomes a natural extension of the living space. At the center of the home, the kitchen pairs Thermador and Monogram appliances with a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, oversized island, and fully appointed scullery designed for effortless entertaining. The primary suite overlooks the canyon and features its own fireplace, spa-inspired bath, oversized dual shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, separate toilet rooms, and a custom wardrobe with integrated laundry. A private secondary bedroom wing provides comfort and separation for family or guests. Additional spaces include a private cinema, library, wine cellar, hidden speakeasy lounge, and upstairs pub. More than 3,000 sq ft of decking overlooks the preserve, creating a front-row seat for sunsets, stargazing, and quiet Hill Country evenings. The secondary homesite offers future possibilities for guest quarters, a studio, pool pavilion, or private retreat. Grand Mesa is Crystal Falls’ premier acreage community, known for estate homesites, Dark Sky designation, and proximity to Crystal Falls Golf Club, expanding medical facilities, major employment corridors, and Leander’s growing collection of dining, shopping, and entertainment.
