Description
496 Primo Fiore is a custom-built Tuscan retreat located in the gated Peninsula at Rough Hollow, one of the most private and sought-after enclaves on Lake Travis. Set on more than one acre with uninterrupted privacy on both sides, this home blends timeless architecture, thoughtful craftsmanship, and resort-style amenities into a single elevated living experience. A fully enclosed interior courtyard with a stone fountain, fireplace, Juliet balcony, and cafe lights creates an immediate sense of calm and seclusion. Inside, the great room opens with more than twenty feet of ceiling height, exposed beams, thick hardwood floors, a marble fireplace, and custom metal doors framing panoramic views of the raised pool and hillside.
The kitchen was designed for both daily cooking and large-scale entertaining, featuring quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, an oversized island, and Thermador appliances including a 48-inch range and dual 36-inch refrigerator doors. A full butler's pantry with deep shelving and secondary refrigeration adds function and efficiency. The primary suite overlooks the hillside and pool, with a bathroom featuring marble countertops, porcelain tile, a freestanding soaking tub, a large walk-in shower, and a fully integrated cedar sauna. A standout feature is the detached casita functioning as a dedicated office with full insulation, built-in cabinetry, a wet bar, full bath, and private entrance--creating a true work sanctuary. Additional highlights include a media and game room with built-in wet bar, French doors to the courtyard, and secondary bedrooms with hardwood floors, walk-in closets, and upgraded finishes.
The backyard is a complete resort experience. The raised PebbleTec pool and spa feature glass tile, water features, a tanning ledge, and elevated placement for enhanced privacy and views. The outdoor kitchen includes a Coyote grill, teppanyaki grill, refrigerator, and storage drawers with matching stone and granite countertops. The covered patio features automatic UV screens, creating a private, shaded living space at the press of a button. The grounds include evergreen landscaping, cable-railed fencing, two greenhouse structures, planter boxes with drip irrigation, a stone walking path, a firepit with blue glass, UV-lit trees, and a fully fenced backyard.
The entire property has been designed for long-term durability and easy maintenance. Foam insulation fills the walls and ceilings, CAT6 wiring runs to each room, and a Savant system with Nest thermostats and app-controlled lighting, irrigation, and pool equipment supports a fully connected smart home. Two tankless water heaters, an allergy-filtered HVAC setup, thick hardwood floors, and an oversized air-conditioned four-car garage with significant storage speak to the quality of the build. A custom safe room sits discreetly beneath the staircase. Residents of The Peninsula have access to a private dock, yacht club, multiple pools, fitness center, hiking and biking trails, and all the conveniences of nearby Bee Cave shopping and restaurants. 496 Primo Fiore stands apart as a blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and intentional design with a lifestyle that feels peaceful, spacious, and refined.
