Set in the rolling hills of Westlake, 3601 Toro Canyon Rd presents a timeless Tuscan-inspired estate where old-world craftsmanship meets modern luxury. Originally designed and built by respected local builder Gary Reissig as his personal residence - where he lived for 25 years - the home reflects decades of thoughtful design, artisanal detail, and a vision deeply rooted in European elegance.
Beyond a gated courtyard entrance framed by lush greenery, the home unfolds like a private villa. Stone walls, iron details, and a verdant entry create an immediate sense of arrival, evoking the charm of a centuries-old European retreat. Authentic rubble stone construction - achieved through close collaboration with skilled stonemasons - continues throughout, while richly textured materials, warm architectural lines, and curated finishes create an atmosphere that is both refined and inviting.
The layout is intentionally designed to balance grand-scale entertaining with intimate everyday living with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The main level features two bedrooms, including a serene primary suite that serves as a true sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, tranquil backyard views, a spa-like bath with built-in cabinetry, and separate his and hers walk-in closets. Expansive living and dining areas connect seamlessly, anchored by a chef’s kitchen that blends Old World character with top-tier functionality. Outfitted with a 48-inch Viking range and griddle, built-in grill, and wood-burning fireplace, the kitchen flows effortlessly into a light-filled sunroom and dining space, which opens to a balcony overlooking the lush, private grounds.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, offering comfort and privacy for family or guests. The lower level is designed for both productivity and leisure, featuring an impressive office space with his and hers built-in desks overlooking the pool - making working from home a luxury. This level also features a recreation room, wine room, and flex space ideal for a guest suite, gym, or creative studio.
Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, an 18-foot glass overhead door opens from the lower-level lounge to a resort-style terrace. Here, outdoor living takes center stage with a fireplace, poolside lounging, and multiple areas for entertaining. The backyard feels like a world apart - set beneath a canopy of mature oak trees, with curated landscaping, stone walls, a resort-style pool, bar, cantina, outdoor kitchen, and even a potting station, all creating a private and tranquil escape.
An oversized two-car garage completes the offering. Ideally located just minutes from Loop 360, downtown Austin, and within the highly acclaimed Eanes ISD, the property offers both convenience and a rare sense of retreat.
This home is a true legacy estate - where timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and natural beauty come together to create a one-of-a-kind living experience.
