6D Ranch Lake House
Austin, TX This 6,380 square foot residence is sited on a large meadow on Lake Austin in Austin, Texas.

The program accommodates a living/dining/kitchen ground floor loft space opening to an outdoor terrace, facing and accessing the lake, as well as an adjacent, connected spa/exercise space.
