4500 Peralta Ln, Austin, TX 78735

Welcome to a hidden refuge in the gated Amarra community of Barton Creek—an elegant sanctuary inspired by the world’s most enchanting landscapes and the serene luxury of Aman resorts. This desert-influenced Mediterranean compound greets you with chiseled granite walls and an open-air courtyard entry, framed by olive, lemon, and orchid trees. Designed by award-winning Chas Architects, the home blends Santa Barbara warmth with clean Mediterranean lines and bespoke craftsmanship throughout.

A must-see to fully experience its exquisite charm and energy, the Spanish Revival portico leads to a serene, central courtyard with a marble fountain and limestone fireplace, setting a tranquil tone. Inside, hand-polished Venetian plaster, arched hallways, reclaimed wood beams, and granite floors evoke timeless authenticity. Seven oversized glass doors open to cinematic Hill Country views, while the chef’s kitchen offers top-tier Wolf appliances and seamless access to a built-in grill and wet bar. Outdoor living is elevated by a stunning lounge terrace, a lush greenbelt cascading toward a Barton Creek tributary down below, and a newly renovated 60-foot lap pool with dual negative edges that spill toward the horizon—offering a sense of boundless serenity.

The property includes three thoughtfully arranged one-story structures: the main residence, a guest house, and a flexible third garage or excercise studio. With three terraced lawns and complete visual privacy, this refined estate is designed for both tranquil retreat and effortless entertaining. Here, nature and architecture exist in perfect harmony—inviting you to live with grace, space, and stillness.

Barton Creek is Austin's premier golf community in 78735 - four championship courses thread through eight gated villages, twenty minutes from downtown. Median home price around $2.95M, with custom estates ranging from $1.2M patio homes to $6M+ golf-course frontage properties. Austin ISD schools.

Turn off Bee Caves Road and the Hill Country opens up - limestone ridges, old-growth oaks, fairways disappearing into canyons. Fazio Foothills (Tom Fazio's 1986 original at 7,087 yards) is the signature course, with Fazio Canyons and Coore Crenshaw offering different character. The Omni Barton Creek Resort anchors the community with spa, pools, dining, and member events.

Eight gated sections each have distinct character: Amarra Drive for new-build contemporary estates ($3M-$6M+), The Preserve for Hill Country views and privacy, Wimberly Lane for established homes with mature landscaping. HOA governance varies by section - some enforce architectural review strictly, others are lighter touch.

The buyer profile skews toward avid golfers (40% of purchases), families choosing Austin ISD, and C-suite executives who need estate-level privacy 20 minutes from downtown. The Greenbelt borders the western edge, and Sculpture Falls is accessible from within the community.
