A Sneak Peek Inside Austin's 2015 Home of Distinction Benefiting Children's Charity

Written by Cathy Hale | September 1, 2015

Lake Travis is home to many highly respected and talented business owners, so it should come as no surprise that custom home builders Steve Zbranek and Tony Holt of Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes call Lake Travis home for their award-winning business.

From donating $150,000 to the Lake Travis Youth Association in 2010, to serving on various boards for Lake Travis-based organizations throughout the years, to being a founding member of the Lakeway Police Memorial and Benevolent Foundation (Holt), the laundry list of contributions the two have made to the LT area, and Austin, is impressive to say the least.

In fact, Zbranek and Holt met for the first time in 2004, while building a charity home for the Lake Travis Education Foundation that raised $125,000 for the organization.

In addition to supporting the community, Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes has been “wowing” homeowners with luxurious dream homes that are truly spectacular for more than 10 years. And this year is no exception. They were selected as Austin’s 2015 Home of Distinction Builder with proceeds benefiting Center for Child Protection.

Lake Travis Neighborhood Guide: Serene Hills

Written by Todd Hower | April 21, 2015

Nestled in the Lake Travis area on one of the highest vistas is Serene Hills, a master planned community with luxury custom homes and a laid-back vibe.

Serene Hills is situated in a beautiful slice of Lake Travis with views, hillsides and rustic touches that makes life in the Texas Hill Country special. If you take a peek at these gorgeous homes and their spectacular views, you’ll quickly understand why this is such a desired neighborhood.

What you may not know about Serene Hills is that it was built with an environmentally friendly approach. The inspiration behind Serene Hills was to preserve the rare habitat and leave the smallest footprint possible. From the very beginning Serene Hills has worked under a wildlife management plan. In fact, while Serene Hills spans a total of 456 acres, 342 acres have been set aside to protect as unspoiled natural land.
