The Rebirth of an Icon | Tarrytown’s Only Privately Gated Enclave
Within the only privately gated enclave in Tarrytown — a sanctuary of just five estates — a landmark residence has been completely reimagined and rebuilt to a standard rarely seen in Austin.
Originally designed and later reimagined by the renowned Michael Landrum, this extraordinary property has been taken to the studs and expanded into an architectural tour de force under the direction of Landrum, master builder Monte Goertz, visionary designer Fern Santini, and the landscape artistry of LandWest Design Group. What stands today is not a renovation, but a rebirth.
A newly conceived arrival sequence sets the tone: a private, courtyard-style entrance framed by curated landscaping creates a sense of retreat and discretion before one ever steps inside. The garage has been repositioned to enhance both privacy and architectural symmetry, while the grounds have been sculpted into a lush, resort-caliber oasis.
Inside, volume and materiality define the experience. Soaring ceilings, steel-framed windows, and gallery-like walls create a canvas for extraordinary design. A newly added sunken family room introduces intimacy and warmth, while a bespoke vinyl lounge with built-in bar evokes the glamour of a private members’ club.
The culinary experience unfolds across two extraordinary kitchens — a stunning primary kitchen and a fully appointed galley kitchen — both outfitted with bespoke Christopher Peacock cabinetry and aged brass hardware. Surfaces are unapologetically bold and refined: Verde Bonsai quartzite anchors the main kitchen, while Hermès soapstone defines the galley and mudroom, marrying functionality with artistry.
The lower level reveals a dramatic wine cellar clad in Rosso Levanto quartzite, designed for both collection and ceremony — a space worthy of curated tastings and private dinners.
Wellness is elevated to resort level. A newly constructed, glass-lined gym overlooks the reimagined pool, complete with a built-in sauna and dedicated pool bath. Outdoors, the pool has been entirely transformed into a multi-experience aquatic environment featuring a lap pool, spa, negative edge, and sculptural water feature — all framed by mature magnolias and native landscaping for complete privacy.
The primary suite has been fully reinvented into a sanctuary of light, texture, and architectural drama. A custom bronze stair rises within the suite to an elevated private lounge — an intimate retreat for reading, working, or quiet escape, framed by a striking round window and treetop views. The newly expanded closet rivals couture ateliers, while the spa-like bath is drenched in luminous Cristallo Lagoon quartzite, enveloped in natural light and serene materiality.
Dual laundry rooms on both levels underscore thoughtful livability at scale.
Every inch of this estate reflects disciplined craftsmanship, intentional materials, and a level of finish rarely offered in Austin. It is both intimate and monumental. A private world hidden within one of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods.
This is not merely a home.
It is a legacy property.
