Relaxed European elegance with true gracious Texas hospitality. Reimagined by internationally renowned designer Ken Fulk, this private retreat brings a new level of contemporary glamour and whimsical soul to Austin. A modern interpretation of a residential estate, these picturesque grounds offer a welcoming 10-acre setting only 3 miles north of Downtown Austin. Walking these halls each day, the attention to authentic historical detail greets you at every turn – from the incredible Mediterranean-style architecture and design to artful décor and landscaping that all pay homage to the estate’s rich past and the vision of its original owner, Edgar Howard “Commodore” Perry. E.H. Perry gave much to the City of Austin throughout his years as a successful entrepreneur and civic leader. It can be argued that Perry’s own personal character served as a template for Austin’s: it’s one of vision, imagination, and humility. Perry saw details and possibilities in everything, and he wasn’t afraid to take action. Like Perry, in all his accomplishments that remained understated, Austin keeps itself authentic while earning fame as a hotspot for world technology industries and other market drivers.
