An Organic Modern Luxury Retreat in the Prestigious Preston Road North Estates

If you are looking for a true escape, a private, peaceful, zen-like retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, we’ve found it. This organic modern luxury retreat in Preston Road North Estates features expansive window walls, seamless outdoor connections, and luxury finishes that set a new bar in residential construction.

Organic modern architecture is primarily attributed to legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who introduced the term organic architecture. The concept is to create structures that harmonize with their surroundings. Natural materials, neutral palettes, and the optimal flow of light are central to this approach. 

Serenity and synergy between indoor and outdoor living are paramount — qualities this home provides in abundance.

The owner’s goal was to create a family retreat fusing the indoors and outdoors. The home features full window walls overlooking mature trees, wall-to-wall collapsible doors for seamless access to the lush 1.18-acre lot, and a scenic backyard with a creek.

To set the natural resort, zen-like tone, the owner envisioned she had industrial-size limestone blocks shipped in from a quarry in Austin to use as boundaries and retaining walls.

“You go over a little bridge that the creek runs under when you pull up, and there are at least 45 mature trees,” Duncan Real Estate’s listing agent Ty Duncan said. “The grounds are full of wildlife. The home office is at the front of the house overlooking the pond, and you see squirrels, turtles, and bunnies all the time.”

Inside the 5,190 square-foot home, you will find natural cave rock with crystals, limestone floors, and handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tiles. The first level has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. A tree-top retreat on the second floor offers flexibility for a home office, living area, studio, or library. 

Outdoor living is enhanced with 1,170 square feet of patio area. The property features a pool, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, and a private gazebo. It’s truly an ideal setting for everything from quiet reflection to lively entertaining.

As for the location, it could not be better. Situated just north of the private school corridor, the home is minutes from Valley House Garden, the Sculpture Center, and the private Northwood Club with its beautifully renovated PGA Championship Golf Course.

“This estate delivers a rare sense of privacy, a connection to nature, and exceptional craftsmanship,” Duncan said.

Duncan has this modern organic retreat at 13919 Hughes Lane available for $4.699 million. It’s a rare setting and a unique opportunity to own one of the area’s most exquisite estates. It just went live today, so I would not wait to see this beauty.

OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, April 11, from 5-7 p.m.
