About Jessica & Paul

Jessica & Paul built this modern home in 2010 to create a design-focused resort-like escape in the heart of Austin. We personally make sure that every renter has a truly amazing stay. Contact us if you have any questions!

Jessica & Paul purchased this estate in 2010
Why Jessica & Paul chose Austin

It all started with an amazing piece of land -- a 1+ acre flat lot in the heart of Austin, TX. Working with prominent New York architects, we designed a comfortable modern house that is tranquil during the day and perfect for entertaining in the evenings. There is a big yard for kids to play and a infinity-edge salt water pool. We love eating outside most of the year on the covered patio or pool-side dining table. The house is amazingly peaceful and private -- even with large groups.

What makes this estate unique

While many people think of Texas as flat, the dramatic Texas Hill Country begins just West of downtown. We built our house in these first heavily wooded limestone hills, nearly 500 feet above downtown and only minutes from the center of the action. The hills and towering oak trees provide a dramatic natural backdrop for glass-filled modern house. We designed the house and pool around the trees and natural environment, making it a perfect place for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

Submitted: April 12, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Paul and Jessica designed and built this house, and it is incredible. Modern, clean design, and yet still warm and comfortable, the well-appointed layout is at once practical and uplifting. And then there's the spectacular modern and local and New York-procured and Central American art... and the infinity pool... and the view of the Austin hills... and the Live Oak trees moving naturally throughout the property... and the many-pointed buck who whispered past my window early one morning... And the rich, beautiful use of color and shape and glass in every room... Seriously, I can't even believe they rent this place. It's that amazing. You will love it.
