A sprawling Hill Country Village mansion recently hit the market with an $8.5 million price tag, making it the most expensive residential property currently listed in San Antonio.
Designed by renowned architect Don McDonald, the 11,000-square-foot home is designed in the European Transitional style, known for blending the traditional and the modern in a clean, seamless manner.
“This home is a love letter to architecture,” the 10-acre property’s sales listing gushes about its elegant look.
High ceilings, exposed wood beams and dramatic archways give the six-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bath dwelling a regal feel, but its clean lines and abundance of natural light keep things modern and approachable.
Beyond its abundance of bedrooms and living areas, the residence includes two separate offices, a sunroom, a garden room and a scullery, where household tasks can be isolated. The massive kitchen — clearly designed for entertaining — has a wood-burning pizza oven, pro-level cooking gear and a lengthy dining room table that appears fit for royalty.
The five-car garage is inspired by a German barn design, according to the sales listing, and it even includes a half bath and plenty of storage. Meanwhile, the upper level boasts an office, dark room, full bathroom and an expansive entertaining space.
A separate 2,500-square-foot guest house provides deluxe accommodations — but what other kind of accommodations would one expect from the priciest house for sale in SA?
