This certified Green Built Home outside of Austin offers sweeping views of the city, nearby lakes and Texas hill country. A radiative metal roof, extended roof overhangs, trellises and covered porches lend respite from intense sunlight and reduce energy bills. A dazzling outdoor pool, designed to look organic, is accented by locally sourced boulders and stone. A screened-in porch with a fireplace offers a relaxing area in which to unwind during evenings on 'the range.' Home to a family with three children, this singular residence features a private master suite offset from the home by a long hallway - the ultimate in privacy.

"[NUHB] aspires to excellence. Design, quality workmanship, follow through after the sale, courtesy and professionalism.... It was a positive experience from beginning to end. The house graced the cover of a design magazine, was featured in other magazines, and continues to generate positive attention." - Developer
