Crystal Creek Drive is 3 miles west of loop 360, off Bee Caves Road. It takes 25 minutes from downtown Austin outside of rush hour and 35 minutes to the airport.. Custom designed and built in 2016 this house effortlessly combines the old and the new. The front aspect of the home is Spanish Colonial Style with access via an antique Persian gate into the courtyard. The courtyard is bounded by carved Indian pillars and boasts a wall mounted fountain and a fire pit surrounded by ancient carved Indian stool. Access to the main part of the house is via carved Mexican style doors. Within the home the rear part of the home is minimal and modern featuring walls of window, a polished concrete floor and an ultra modern kitchen. The open plan design allows enjoyment of stunning views from every aspect. The living room is spacious and comfortable and gives access to the spacious media room via more antique doors - this time from India. This room doubles as a bedroom with a large sofa bed, an ensuite shower room and bar. Other ground floor rooms include a book lined study with court yard views and a bedroom/bathroom accessed off the courtyard. The upper two bedrooms both have ensuite bathrooms and private decks accessing that view again. The master suite features a built in kingsized bed and a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and his and hers basins and dressing rooms. The second bedroom has access to a loft via metal steps with a single bed. Separate from the property enjoying even more magnificent views is the stucco faced cabin. It comprises a loft bedroom, open plan living area with sofa bed and a kitchenette. The bathroom is on the first floor. A spacious deck is accessed via sliding glass doors. At full capacity, using sofa beds and the single loft bed the house will accommodate 13 guests. The front part of the lot is bounded by an elegant stucco wall with accent garden lighting. The rear of the house situated as it is on a cliff provides the breath-taking views of the greenbelt and Barton Creek. It a haven for wild life and birds. For those with an adventurous nature there is a rugged path with cliff edge steps leading down to the creek.
This is a very relaxed, low maintenance home where there are very few rules. The covered floor areas are of seagrass which is not very forgiving with regards to spillages so I would ask for caution especially with red wine. My only strong rule is that this a no smoking property and pets are not allowed..

Beautiful, spacious home with LOADS of natural light and tons of room. Our crew was able to comfortably take over space for staging areas, hair and make up, wardrobe, crafties, etc. while not affecting shooting areas. Also, loads of parking and quick access to a shopping center for last minute needs. Carmel was an absolute joy of a host. Would absolutely book again.

Carmel and her place is a 5 star all the way!! First of all, let me say the pictures are accurate. In person her place gives off a very positive energy so it makes the experience that much better! It was clean, landscaped, and A/C was set at a comfortable setting. Not only is there an amazing view that looks out to Barton springs but the decor of the villa is spectacular for photo shoots. There’s so many different areas inside and outside of the villa allowing you to shoot variety of content. I booked 5 hours and wouldn’t suggest anything less as there’s so many areas to shoot. Carmel is an amazing, sweet and professional host. She made booking extremely easy, gave me directions to her place, a listing of nearby grocery stores, and all around was very helpful. I definitely will book again and highly recommend her villa!! You won’t regret it!

We used this location for a company photoshoot. This house is one of the most stunning and unique locations we have ever used before. With the infinity pool, the amazing location, beautiful views, and unique aesthetic, this house was lovely; as was our host, Carmel! She was there for anything that we needed throughout the planning of our event and was easily available while we were on location. We would highly recommend this house for a wide variety of occasions!
